Our natural circadian rhythms make it physiologically harder to wake feeling refreshed in winter, which can leave us in a haze of fatigue that’s hard to shake. Here are some of Verve’s favourite sleep saviours, from sleep support supplements to evening beauty routines and sleepwear.

iPop Eyewear
Blue Light Glasses
When the sun goes down and the light fades, our bodies produce melatonin, the chemical hormone responsible for helping us fall asleep. Exposure to artificial blue light slows down its production, causing sleeplessness as well as headaches and sore eyes. iPOP’s blue light filtering glasses filter out this harmful light, reducing eye strain and setting us up for some restful shuteye.
