In our fast-paced world, quality sleep often falls to the bottom of our wellness checklist. But here's the truth: good sleep isn't a luxury - it's a necessity. It’s the secret behind mental clarity, hormonal balance, skin regeneration, and muscle recovery. And yet, it's often overlooked.

At Pura Collagen, we believe that better sleep starts with better habits. That’s where sleep hygiene comes in.

What is Sleep Hygiene?

Sleep hygiene refers to the routines, behaviours, and environment that set the stage for deep, restorative sleep. Think of it as sleep self-care. Just like brushing your teeth is part of your hygiene routine, creating a healthy wind-down ritual for your body and mind is essential for restful sleep.

Why Sleep Matters for Recovery & Radiance

During deep sleep, your body works hard to:

- Repair muscles and tissues

- Balance hormones

- Reduce inflammation

- Rebuild collagen in the skin, joints, and connective tissue

- Support mental and emotional regulation

8 Simple Sleep Hygiene Tips to Reset Your Rest

 

1. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time - even on weekends. This helps regulate your internal body clock.

2. Create a sleep sanctuary
Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark. Make it a tech-free zone if you can.

3. Power down screens early
Blue light from phones and laptops disrupts melatonin production. Try switching off at least 1 hour before bed.

4. Build a calming bedtime ritual
Having a cup of our Pura Sleep blend, a warm bath, reading, or meditation signals to your body that it’s time to unwind.

5. Limit your caffeine intake
Caffeine can linger in your system for up to 8 hours. The NHS recommend avoiding caffeine after 2pm to ensure this does not affect your sleep. 

6. Get natural light during the day
Sunlight helps reset your circadian rhythm, so you feel sleepy when it’s dark.

7. Move your body (but not too late)
Regular exercise helps deepen sleep - but try to finish vigorous workouts at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

8. Support your body with the right supplements
Your body repairs and regenerates overnight - including collagen synthesis. Supporting it with the right nutrients can help you wake up feeling (and looking) refreshed.

Your Night-Time Ritual Partner

 

Designed to support deeper rest and overnight regeneration, our Sleep blend brings together clinically proven ingredients for beauty sleep that actually works. The best way for the body to absorb collagen is to break it down into smaller molecules called hydrolysed collagen peptides. Pura Sleep is a PEPTIPLUS® collagen powder, meaning it includes:

• 5,000mg of hydrolysed collagen peptides activate the body’s natural collagen production promoting healthier hair, skin, nails, and joints.
  
  
• L-Glycine, an amino acid and inhibitory neurotransmitter to calm the central nervous system.
  
  
• Magnesium to activate the parasympathetic nervous system which calms and relaxes you. Magnesium can also regulate the hormone melatonin, responsible for guiding the body’s sleep-wake cycles.
  
  
• L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps the body make proteins and certain brain-signalling chemicals. Your body changes L-Tryptophan into a brain chemical called serotonin. Serotonin helps control your mood and sleep.
  
  
• Zinc to support normal cognitive function.
