When you finish work at an unusual hour, there isn't always a natural evening to help you slow down.
You can walk through the door tired but still feel switched on from the shift, particularly when daylight is streaming through the windows and everyone else's day is just beginning.
Slow Hours gives that transition a little more structure.
Fill it, add your chosen essential oil and switch it on while you change, shower or get ready for bed. It's a simple ritual that helps turn “I've finished work” into “I'm winding down now”, whatever the clock says.
Create your own version of evening
Your wind-down doesn't need to start at 9pm. Using the diffuser when you get home can help create a familiar transition into rest even when your schedule changes from week to week.
Turn the bedroom into an off-duty space
When the same room is used for sleeping during daylight hours, small environmental changes matter. Gentle mist, your chosen scent and softer lighting help make the space feel separate from the busy world outside.
Build a ritual you can repeat
Changing shifts can make elaborate bedtime routines unrealistic. Filling the diffuser and choosing a familiar scent is something simple you can repeat whether you're heading to bed at midnight, 8am or midday.
Let it run while you switch off
Choose a timed setting before getting ready for bed rather than having another thing to remember once you're settled.
Keep the atmosphere soft
Seven lighting colours let you choose something more subdued than bright overhead lighting while you're preparing for sleep.
