My Austrian mum was big on rituals when we were kids. It began at dawn, when into the room she’d march bellowing “aufstehen”, which quite literally means “stand up” and is absolutely the most rousing wake-up call you could ever receive. To this day anyone who so much as murmurs the word aufstehen in my vicinity instantly makes me think of icy cold mornings and leaping from my bed before thrusting my shivering limbs into my uniform with as much speed as I could muster.Next up in my mum’s daily schedule: cleaning time.

On a perfect night, you’d put your head down on your cushiony pillow (hopefully not while scrolling TikTok—more on that later), get your eight hours, and wake up refreshed.

9 Reasons You’re Waking Up Every Two Hours (or More) at Night, and How to Fall Back to Sleep ASAP

Before heading out for the day, you likely take a look in the mirror to make sure that your dress looks presentable, your makeup is in place, and your hairstyle looks just right. But it’s one thing that you don’t see in a mirror that may really make a difference—yup, we’re talking about your breath. It can be hard to determine if your breath is fresh, but if you want to put your best foot forward, ensuring that your breath is in tip-top shape should become a priority. But other than popping an Altoid, how can you be absolutely sure that your breath smells its best?

It’s not often that alcohol is recommended as a way to boost your health. Yet for some time now, an appealing line of research has suggested a glass of red wine a day could be beneficial for the heart. However, a new study has stripped our daily Merlot of its halo.

How many times have you been walking along, minding your own business, when all of a sudden a short flight of stairs takes all the breath out of your lungs? I'd like to consider myself in good shape, but I can barely hold a conversation with my walking-mate while climbing any staircase more than one story.

Getting Out of Breath While Going Up Stairs? What’s Normal, What’s Not?

I gave up with a sigh. Yet again, I’d spent over half an hour lying in bed, hoping to beckon Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep. His absence was exasperating. Once again, I started my get-to-sleep method. I can’t completely blame my insomnia spells on cold agglutinin disease (CAD)....

Do This First Thing In The Morning To Sleep Better At Night

Blame it on the baby’s 3 a.m. hunger cries, the dog’s middle-of-the-night potty needs or your SO’s industrial-strength snoring — whatever the reason, the struggle for sound slumber is real. Sure, you may have learned to power through the next day like a pro by chugging mega-size mugs of coffee (or whatever caffeinated bev you favor). But with that push comes the afternoon crash, when all bets on being productive are off.

When it comes to my wellbeing routine, I lean pretty heavily on certain brands and NEOM is one of them. I’ve been using the brand’s aromatherapy-led products for several years and so far, they’ve never let me down. Now to some, the use of aromatherapy might seem woo woo but you need only look to studies on the health benefits of certain aromatic plants – and there are many – to understand why I swear by the use of scent for its mood-boosting and relaxing properties. Lavender in particular is one of the scents I rely on. My mum often...
