'Magic' sleep spray so good shoppers buy one every 79 seconds
The This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is a long-time bestseller and is currently discounted at Amazon
Shoppers who have spent the night tossing and turning, or scrolling through their phone until the wee hours, have probably come across sleep sprays. These magical mists claim to help users fall asleep quicker, alleviate anxiety, and transform a room into a high-end spa.
Journalist Lauren Codling has sampled a fair number of pillow sprays, from luxury concoctions to more affordable options. However, one that has secured a permanent place on her bedside table is This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray - a long-standing bestseller that genuinely delivers on its promises.
This natural sleep aid, currently discounted to £20 from £25 on Amazon, is infused with lavender, chamomile, and vetiver. This soothing combination is designed to relax the mind, reduce stress, and prepare the body for rest, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Spray it onto a pillow and around the room before bedtime, and let the tranquil aroma do the rest. When Lauren first tried it, she was doubtful: "Could a pillow spray really make a difference?
"But the gentle, spa-like fragrance immediately put me at ease - the kind of scent you'd expect at a wellness retreat. It's become an integral part of my nighttime routine, and I notice the difference when I forget to use it.
The Deep Sleep Pillow Spray promises to help users drift off faster.
"And I'm not the only one who's hooked: the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is so popular that it's estimated one sells every 79 seconds. With more than 18,500 five-star reviews and a devoted fan base to match, it's safe to say this dreamy mist has earned its reputation as the original sleep saviour."
Lauren has tested numerous sleep sprays over the years. Another firm favourite is Jo Malone's Lavender and Moonflower Pillow Mist (£38), a premium choice that she absolutely loves. This tranquil blend combines English lavender, white musk, and moonflowers, creating a heavenly aroma that feels like pure indulgence.
For a budget option, Feather and Down's Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray (£8, Boots) is an excellent choice. This wallet-friendly mist contains lavender and chamomile essential oils, and it's both vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
Returning to This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, it's also garnered some brilliant feedback on Amazon. One customer shared: "This lavender sleep spray has completely changed my sleep experience. I used to lie in bed for hours and hours, but I was never able to fall asleep.
"Now, the second my head touches the pillow, I instantly fall asleep (well, nearly always.) Spraying this spray on my pillow has become my favourite part of my night routine."
Another enthusiast commented: "This spray is magic. I spray my pillow every night and fall asleep instantly." Someone else noted: "It helps with sleep and smells divine."
Though this balanced review states: "I've used this spray a few times and bought it again recently. The scent is nice, with a slight peppery lavender note. I can't say it's done anything for my sleep, but it is nice to smell before getting into bed."
However, on a brighter note, one reviewer of the This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray shared: "As someone who has trouble sleeping, I was sceptical that this product would be a sleep aid. It actually worked the first time I used it - thoroughly recommend - I will be a regular purchaser."
