HELLO!'s Junior Lifestyle Writer Georgia swears by her salt lamp for a soothing night's sleep. "I bought my Himalayan Salt Lamp a few weeks into lockdown after I found it harder to wind down in the evenings. The uncertainty of daily life really disrupted my sleep and I would often wake up in the night after having a distressing dream."
"I'd turn my lamp on in the early evenings and loved how its warm light mimicked the glow of a sunset, which I found really comforting in the winter months when we would often miss the sun going down on a daily walk."
