“While many resort to prescription and over the counter medications, more and more want to go the natural route and look to us for advice”, says Hipwell. “While a massage or yoga class is fantastic, they now want take home solutions and practices. Wearable sleep technology such sleep bands are becoming very popular. Aromatherapy sleep mists and ergonomic neck and spine support pillows were also hot items this holiday season.
