Working intimately with bedroom spaces, Founder of Heatherly Design Georgie Leckey, understands that sleep plays a crucial role in our pursuit of holistic wellness. Here she shares her favourite nightly routines to wind down before bed.
5-7 PM
I love finishing the day with an afternoon walk on our family farm in the Acheron Valley. Visually, stepping away from screens can help to signal it is time to wind down and start my evening routine.
7-9 PM
Like most, this time is often spent sharing a meal with friends or family. At the moment it’s hard to beat a simple home cooked meal by the fire with my husband Will, where we can talk through our day.
9-11PM (or beyond)
I normally retreat to the bedroom at about 9pm, and regularly use that time in bed to either call my children who are away, journal my thoughts for the next day and make some lists of things I need to do or want to achieve. I also like to read in bed and am currently reading My Favourite Mistake by Marian Keyes.
At the moment as the sun rises later and the weather is cooler I find myself more of a night owl. My bed absolutely reflects my personality and taste, which is why retreating to the bedroom of an evening feels so calming and nurturing. I have always been a blue girl, so my bedroom, bed linen and bedhead is a mix of moody blues and vivid greens that reflect our garden.
What is the one thing that you do that always guarantees a good night’s sleep?
Fresh air (the window open, even in winter!).
Do you use any technology to track your sleep patterns?
I am more inclined to switch technology off prior to bed.
Does your wind down routine change between weeknights and the weekend?
You will often find me in our Glen Iris showroom on a Saturday talking with clients. I try to stay consistent with my routine, however when I am in Melbourne, I take advantage and opt for a meal out. A cup of Two Rivers Green Tea from our farm is ultra-calming and the perfect reward for a busy day no matter the day of the week.
