Imagine a world where restful sleep is just a supplement away! With the global sleep aid market projected to hit a staggering £62 billion by 2029, it’s no surprise that pharmacy and supermarket shelves are overflowing with a dizzying array of sleep remedies. From drops and gummies to sprays and capsules, the options seem endless.
In fact, a recent study by Marks & Spencer revealed that a remarkable 53% of women consider "better sleep" to be their most important wellness goal. I count myself among those women. Among all the products available, I've found one that genuinely delivers results.
Introducing Rested, a supplement produced by Diome, a fresh French brand that launched its first and currently sole product in 2024. This supplement has gained immense popularity, primarily through enthusiastic word-of-mouth endorsements; I first heard about it from a colleague who swore by its effectiveness.
While the ingredients themselves—such as chamomile, magnesium, and zinc—are not groundbreaking, what sets this supplement apart is its thoughtfully crafted formulation. Developed by an exceptional scientific team, the product also boasts sustainably sourced, locally grown ingredients. Notably, it is entirely vegan and devoid of fillers often found in conventional supplements, which is another aspect that drew my attention.
After using Rested for over a month, I can confidently say my sleep has significantly improved. As the founder Jianne Jamil, who previously collaborated with renowned beauty brands, explains, “This supplement helps restore your natural sleep rhythm instead of leaving you feeling groggy, which is often the case with other sleep aids.” Jamil was inspired to create Rested due to her mother’s persistent sleep struggles. The brand's tagline, “wake up energized, not exhausted,” perfectly encapsulates its benefits: I fall asleep quickly and wake up refreshed, without that dreaded morning fog.
However, it’s important to note that this supplement comes with a higher price tag. A jar containing 60 capsules, intended to last a month when taking two nightly, retails for £60. If you opt for a subscription service, like I did, the cost is slightly reduced to £51 per month. Alternatively, you can choose to take just one capsule each night to stretch it further.
Interestingly, I’ve tracked my sleep data to quantify the impact Rested has had on my rest quality. For the last few months, I've been wearing an Oura smart ring—a stylish piece of technology that monitors over 50 health metrics and syncs seamlessly with a mobile app. With a subscription plan costing £5.99 to access comprehensive data, the insights are impressive.
The Oura ring tracks various aspects of your health, including step counts, heart rate, stress levels, and body temperature, with a particular focus on sleep patterns. It provides detailed information on how long and when you enter light, REM, or deep sleep, as well as the overall quality of your rest. Since I began taking the Diome supplement, I have experienced more restful nights and longer stretches of deep restorative sleep.
Recently, Oura launched its product range in Boots, with Kirstie Thorley-Mitchell, the head of wellness at the retailer, noting that it is revolutionizing personalized, proactive, and data-driven wellness.
Despite its premium price starting at £349, Oura became one of Boots' top-selling wellness tech products during the holiday season—and for good reason. It’s a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to better understand their daily habits related to stress, exercise, and sleep.
Setting up the Oura ring is straightforward. After determining your size using the brand's ring sizers, you simply charge the device, and it connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
Whether you're embarking on a New Year health journey or just hoping to refresh your wellness goals, this device not only provides valuable insights but also looks great on your finger.
And for those still exploring options, here are three additional sleep remedies worth considering.
