How Better Sleep Builds a Better Life

Life has a way of feeling increasingly fast-paced as we go. We checkmark our to do’s, squeeze in our must do’s, and make as much time as we can for the want to do’s. We prioritise a productivity routine, lean on our favourite wellbeing rituals, and squeeze the most joy we can out of every moment — sometimes without even taking a moment to pause, breathe, recollect.

In the midst of the rush, we can’t be blamed for not prioritising sleep enough. Though a ten hour snooze would be pure bliss (let alone achieving our everyday eight), it’s far too easy to walk through life answering the call of your responsibilities at the expense of your nightly rejuvenation.

It’s easy to understand why it happens. Simply put, sleep is time consuming. We think: can we really sacrifice eight solid hours of our day, when everything else we have to do (and want to do) feels so endless and all-consuming?

Because of this mindset, it’s typical to share our bed with buzzing thoughts and find our cups in a constant state of half-full. We wrestle with midnight, break sleep in the early hours, and wish for that precious five minutes more as the alarm sounds. Exhaustion over tranquility becomes the norm.

The solutions feel overwhelming, too, because ideas are thrown at us from all angles (and sometimes with a touch of sleep-deprived shame). Get off your phone, they say. Take a sleeping pill, some suggest. Go to bed earlier, clear your mind, and drift off, like it’s oh-so-easy.

But it doesn’t have to be so complicated — and you don’t have to go without the rituals you love. At long last, Ritua is here to make sleep simple.

We believe prioritising your wellness does not have to be demanding. We believe that the path to good health should be simple, habitual and restorative.

Sleep is our answer to your busy, restless mind that keeps you up hours longer than you’d like. It reduces the frequency of mid-sleep wake ups, so the hours you’ve dedicated to rest are truly rejuvenating. Sleep is the solution to soothing your stress and waking up feeling refreshed, so your busy day feels a bit more blissful — and sleep becomes a tranquil safe space every night.

• Better mindset and mood. For days spent on the move, mindset is everything, and positivity is powered by restful, rejuvenating sleep. When you feel bright, the world will reflect your joy. The days will feel lighter, the packed calendar becomes easily achievable, and you’ll feel more passionate about what lies ahead, no snooze button in sight.
• Better energy and endurance. If you believe in living life to the fullest — finding focus through the work day, making time for a heart-pumping workout, and indulging in a laid-back social occasion in the evening — energy is what enables you to make the most of every minute. Low quality sleep is not only a drain on your physical energy, but your mental energy, too. Better rest boosts your motivation and enthusiasm, so you can be present and dedicated from day to night, without crashing and craving the 3PM nap.
• Better balance and wellness. It’s impossible to go full speed ahead every hour, and nothing rejuvenates you as well as quality sleep does. Seeking comfort and rest is nothing to be ashamed of, and using sleep as a tool makes everything work better for you.
