I transformed my sleep naturally in ONE month with £14 herbal sachets

WITH one in five of us suffering from poor or disrupted sleep, it’s no wonder millions of searches are made daily across the globe to find natural sleep remedies.
From anxiety and insomnia to general restlessness, daily worries and inflammatory conditions, there are plenty of reasons why a good night’s sleep doesn’t always come easy and I set out to find ways to naturally tackle these issues this National Sleep Week.

Mission Sleep Power, £19 (£14.25 with code SUNSLEEP)
With so many sleep aids available on the market, finding holistic sleep remedies can seem like a thankless task.
Whether you want to know how to improve sleep, how to get better quality sleep or how to fall asleep faster, Mission, an athlete-endorsed natural energy brand, claims to have the answer.
Mission also has a 25% exclusive offer code for you to put it to the test yourself.
The company claims to have “fuelled hundreds of professional athletes” including premier league footballers, Formula One drivers and England Rugby players, using a range of “performance teas”.
I have trouble sleeping, so I was intrigued by the Sleep Powder, a blend of ingredients such as Turmeric, Rooibos and Lavender, which aims to tackle all sleep queries in one powerful sachet.
Labelled as Sunday Times Best Natural Supplement for Sleep 2023, and having already amassed over 100,000 happy customers, I tested out the sleepy sachet myself to try and ward off my sleep troubles,
Spoiler alert: it didn’t let me down.

Mission Sleep Power, £19 (£14.25 with code SUNSLEEP)
Pros:
- Natural remedy, no risk of addiction
- Holistic sleep remedy
- Easy to use
- No overpowering taste
- Good value for money 30 sachets for £19 (working out at £1.60 per sachet)
- Suitable for all ages
- Soothing, gentle effect
Cons:
- Acquired taste
Rating: 4.5/5
Mission review: quick summary
Initially sceptical about holistic sleep remedies in general, let alone the power of a small sachet of herbs and natural ingredients, I was shocked at the efficacy of this tea.
I wasn’t sure how a natural blend of powders could help me get better quality sleep and fall asleep faster, but it did both.
The aroma of the drink, which can be whisked into milk for a latte-style drink or dissolved into hot water (my chosen method) is the first sleep-inducing step.
The turmeric works with the lavender to create a heady scent, and this is no coincidence — with Mission providing scientific backing at every step.
Mission review: full review
Mission’s ingredients
Mission’s selected ingredients are no coincidence; all herbs involved play particular roles in tackling different sleep disturbances, from inflammation to anxiety to stress hormones.
The brand has left no stone unturned with its meticulous combinations of science-backed ingredients — for example, blending turmeric with black pepper for increased absorption.
Lavender
Lavender’s natural properties mean that it’s suitable for alleviating anxiety and inducing a state of relaxation as a natural, mild sedative.
Mission’s research studies have found that it can also help with insomnia.
Independent scientific research, like this review in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine, has found that it may be of “small to moderate benefit” in tackling insomnia, and that “early results appear promising”.
Turmeric
Nature’s anti-inflammatory, turmeric has pain relief properties which can help to alleviate pain-related sleep disturbances.
That’s down to a bioactive compound called curcumin, which targets molecules that play a role in pain and inflammation.
Rooibos
Rooibos is a naturally caffeine-free tea and has multiple benefits.
Studies have found that it may reduce the production of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, and it’s also used for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Inflammation is another common cause of bad sleep, and insufficient sleep causes a build-up of inflammation, creating a vicious circle.
Ginkgo Biloba
Like Rooibos, Ginkgo Biloba tackles stress hormone release.
There are also studies that suggest it may lower waking time through the night, thanks to its high flavonoid content (although scientists admit more robust trials are required to confirm these effects).
How Mission’s Sleep Tea helped me to fall asleep faster and get a deeper sleep
I would recommend taking time to slowly sip on the sleepy sachet, as breathing in the herby steam allowed me to settle and start to take in those feelings of calm. It’s a little bit like aromatherapy.
I went to bed within an hour of drinking the tea and this decision was mostly based on feeling a need to close my eyes and rest, brought on by the tea.
Usually, I sit up and watch something or potter about doing my skincare before tossing and turning for a while with a range of worries or songs going around in my head, but I noticed a state of calm and a need to sleep.

Mission Sleep Power, £19 (£14.25 with code SUNSLEEP)
After putting this into practice over a fortnight, and recognising the same pattern every night, I saw an improvement in the quality of my sleep and managed to fall asleep, stay asleep and feel generally more rested every morning when I woke up.
My only qualm with the tea is it may be an acquired taste as turmeric and lavender are the most prominent flavours.
However, if blended with milk as is recommended, the sweetness of the milk tends to neutralise the flavour.
The verdict
Overall, Mission’s Sleep Powder changed my opinion on natural sleep remedies and sleep teas, and I have recommended the product to my Mum and Nan who both have age-related sleep issues (which Mission’s ingredients are designed to tackle scientifically).
How expensive is the Mission Sleep Powder?
Sun readers can currently get 25% off the sleepy sachets with the code SUNSLEEP – bringing the 30-sachet packet down to £14.25.
Mission’s Sleep Powder would usually set you back £19 for 30 sachets if bought as a single purchase. However, you can subscribe and save 20%, bringing the sachets down to £15.20 with a delivery every four weeks.
I would recommend trialling the tea as a single purchase to see if it works for you and then subscribing to the four-week subscription.
If you choose to subscribe to Mission, you will also get a free glass jar where you can aesthetically store your sleepy sachets.
The Sleep Powder is also available as a loose powder which is £17 for a single purchase or £13.60 with a subscription.
Where to buy Mission products
Mission products can be bought directly from the company’s website or can also be found at Holland and Barrett, Pow Food, Healf and Amazon.
What other products does Mission stock?
Mission stocks a range of teas with multiple celebrities endorsing the brand from GB Triathlete Harry Leleu to ex-England Rugby champ George Kruis.

Mission Performance Teas, £15

Its range of teas include:
- Energise: A natural coffee replacement for sustained energy usage
- Perform: For a sustained athletic performance to replace high sugar acting as a natural pre and post-workout

Energy meter warning issued to thousands across the UK – key switch to make or risk losing water and electricity supply
THOUSANDS of households have been issued an energy meter warning which they must follow to avoid losing water and electricity supply.
Homes with electricity meters using the Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS), will need to upgrade to a smart meter come June 30.

The RTS switches electricity meters between peak and off-peak rates at certain times of day, letting customers access cheaper off-peak electricity.
But the service is being switched off at the end of June, meaning customers with this type of meter need to get an upgrade.
Around 530,000 households are still yet to upgrade from an RTS meter, according to the latest figures from Energy UK.
A number of councils have flagged the issue to their residents to ensure they do not miss out ahead of the deadline.
That includes Glasgow council who said it would deploy door knockers to directly reach customers and “emphasise the importance of getting an upgrade”.
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, convener for housing and development at Glasgow City Council, said: “It’s really important that anyone with one of these meters has it replaced, as it could lead to them not being able to use their heating.”
Leicester council also warned that around 4,000 need to upgrade their meter.
It said customers should contact their energy suppliers to arrange a meter upgrade.
If you think you have a RTS meter but are not sure what your next steps are it may be worth getting in touch with your local council and supplier.
One way to tell if you have a RTS meter is if your home has a separate switch box near your meter with a Radio Teleswitch label.
Another sign is if you get cheaper energy at different times of day, for example, you might be on an Economy 7, Economy 10, or Total Heat Total Control tariff.
RTS meters are also typically used in areas with no gas supply, such as for high rise flats or houses in a particularly rural setting, so if this applies to you it’s worth checking your meter.
If you’re still not sure, contact your energy supplier and ask whether you have RTS equipment. They will be able to confirm for you.
You will not be charged for upgrading an RTS meter to a smart meter as all electricity suppliers are required to offer this upgrade at no extra cost to customers.
WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE TO RTS METERS
Smart meters offer the same features as RTS in that they can record the different prices at different times of day offered by Economy 7 tariffs.
It can help you save money as they help you avoid estimated energy bills as the reading are sent to your supplier automatically.
The device can also help you track your energy use as you can see how much your using and when you using it.
Smart meters are being rolled out by suppliers across the country and around 36million households have one, though they are not without issues.
Around one in ten are thought to be “dumb” according to recent data from Ofgem.
Issues include a broken display and trouble connecting to the network in some areas, while many first-generation smart meters have outdated technology, though this is unlikely to be an issue with ones fitted now.
Suppliers should make efforts to fix smart meters that are not working, but you may have to make meter readings in the meantime to ensure accurate bills.
4 ways to keep your energy bills low
Laura Court-Jones, Small Business Editor at Bionic shared her tips.
1. Turn your heating down by one degree
You probably won’t even notice this tiny temperature difference, but what you will notice is a saving on your energy bills as a result. Just taking your thermostat down a notch is a quick way to start saving fast. This one small action only takes seconds to carry out and could potentially slash your heating bills by £171.70.
2. Switch appliances and lights off
It sounds simple, but fully turning off appliances and lights that are not in use can reduce your energy bills, especially in winter. Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use, can save you up to £20 a year on your energy bills
3. Install a smart meter
Smart meters are a great way to keep control over your energy use, largely because they allow you to see where and when your gas and electricity is being used.
4. Consider switching energy supplier
No matter how happy you are with your current energy supplier, they may not be providing you with the best deals, especially if you’ve let a fixed-rate contract expire without arranging a new one. If you haven’t browsed any alternative tariffs lately, then you may not be aware that there are better options out there.
