Ever since working as Cabin Crew, my sleeping pattern has been all over place and there have been many nights that I have lay wide awake through till dawn wishing there was something that would make me fall asleep.

A cosy, tidy space helps makes make the perfect environment for me drift off more than anything, so I try to keep my surroundings as neat and as pretty looking as possible in order for the perfect nights sleep. With that in mind, I like to keep my bedside table free of things that I don't really need there and instead home a few essential and cosy things.

I don't have too much space in my bedroom, so my No7 Illuminating Cosmetics Mirror sits there and with not being too bright but supplying a nice, warm bit of lighting to my bedroom of an evening, plays the part of the perfect bedside lamp. The Bunny Lamps that live next to it don't provide lighting as such, more of a pretty glow that I can't help but love.

My Laura Mercier Signature Votive Collection has the perfect sized candles to sit on my Little Diva Try Me Saucer, the scents are absolutely beautiful and the Warm Roasted Chestnut candle in the photos has been burning throughout the evenings of the past week making my room smell beautifully homely.

I'm not really much of a sleeping mask girl as I don't tend to find them that comfortable but for nights and even more so periods when I'm working nightshifts and my Blackout blinds aren't quite enough, this big "getting my beauty sleep" mask is the closest to comfortable I have tried.

In terms of products, I only really like to have the bare minimum. This means that at the end of a day, everything else is banished away to it's correct storage and all that's left is a hand cream and lip balm.
I currently have my Burts Bees Beeswax & Banana Hand Cream on my bedside because it's super rich and that's where it is most convenient. It's pretty chunky and is incredible heavy, so it's definitely more of an at home cream than a handbag one. Applied at night time and left to sink in while I catch up with my beauty sleep, it works perfectly and leaves my hands feeling beautifully moisturised and soft.
Though I must admit this Liz Earle Superbalm isn't my favourite scented balm I've ever tried, this too is a super convenient product in that it is multifunctional. Whether it's your lips, cuticles or skin that needs a little attention this works a dream, so it's a perfect for a bedtime pamper.

Other than than my pretty glass jar that stores my bobby-pins which is sat there for good measure, the rest of my bedside tables contents is any Lavender fans dream. I'm not really the biggest fan and don't tend to rate Lavender scented sleeping-aids too highly, but my Champneys Relaxing Pillow Mist and This Works Deep Calm Pillow Spray sit there for those just incase moments. I don't use them every night, but for the ones when I suspect a sleepless, sheep-counting night ahead of me a few sprays of either of these helps to do the trick.
