Twelve Nights. One Simple Goal: Better Sleep Through the Holidays.
The holidays are full of beauty, connection, and celebration — and they’re also one of the most disruptive times of year for sleep.
Late nights, packed schedules, travel, extra stress, bright lights, and endless scrolling can quietly unravel even the best sleep routines. That’s why we created SleepCreme’s 12 Days of Christmas — a cozy, realistic holiday countdown focused on small, science-backed habits that support calmer evenings and more restorative rest.
Each day builds on what we know works, inspired by our most-read SleepCreme blog articles and real-life sleep challenges we all face in December.
And of course… there’s a holiday giveaway involved. 🎁

🎄 DAY 1 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
The Calming Effects of SleepCreme
We kicked off the 12 Days by announcing our holiday giveaway — and focusing on what SleepCreme is designed to do best: support calmer evenings and deeper rest.
SleepCreme is crafted to work with your body, helping you unwind naturally at night. When used consistently, it becomes part of a calming bedtime signal — one that tells your nervous system it’s safe to slow down.
Better sleep doesn’t start with forcing rest. It starts with creating the conditions for calm.
🎄 DAY 2 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Stress Relief & Deeper Rest
The holidays can be full of joy… and a lot of stress.
Tonight, we focused on winding down, letting go, and giving your nervous system the rest it deserves.
If your mind races at night or your body feels tense after long days, SleepCreme is designed to support calmer evenings and more restorative sleep — even during the busiest season of the year.

🎄 DAY 3 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Fix Your Sleep with One Simple Ritual
If your nights feel restless lately, this tip is for you.
Better sleep doesn’t start in bed — it starts before bed. A simple, consistent nighttime ritual helps signal your body that it’s time to slow down, even during the holidays.
Tonight’s ritual reminder:
✨ Dim the lights earlier
✨ Step away from screens
✨ Make SleepCreme part of your wind-down
Consistency turns small actions into powerful sleep cues.

🎄 DAY 4 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Why Your Body Won’t “Shut Off” at Night
Ever notice how your body feels tired, but your mind refuses to slow down?
One reason is cortisol — your body’s primary stress hormone. When cortisol stays elevated into the evening (which is common during busy weekdays), it can interfere with your ability to fully relax and settle into sleep.
Tuesday nights are especially tricky. After a couple of workdays, stress tends to stack — even if you don’t consciously feel anxious.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Support your body’s natural shift from “alert” to “rest”
✨ Stay consistent with your sleep routine, even midweek
✨ Use SleepCreme nightly — not just on restless nights

🎄 DAY 5 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Consistency Beats “Catching Up” on Sleep
One of the biggest sleep myths? That you can fix a rough week by sleeping in on the weekend.
In reality, your body thrives on consistency. Going to bed and waking up at roughly the same time — even during the holidays — helps regulate your internal clock and improves sleep quality over time.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Aim for your usual bedtime
✨ Resist the urge to scroll a little longer
✨ Support your routine with SleepCreme to help your body settle

🎄 DAY 6 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Holiday Travel & Disrupted Sleep
Travel season is officially here — and so are late flights, unfamiliar beds, packed schedules, and broken sleep.
Holiday travel can throw off your internal clock, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep — even when you’re exhausted.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Don’t try to force sleep while traveling
✨ Stick as close as possible to your usual bedtime
✨ Use familiar cues (like SleepCreme) to signal it’s time to rest
Consistency and familiarity matter — especially when everything else feels different.
Don’t Miss This!
Better sleep doesn’t have to wait until January.

🎄 DAY 7 — SATURDAY VIBE 🎄
Sleep Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect
Saturday reminder:
If your sleep hasn’t been perfect this week… you’re not doing it wrong.
Better sleep isn’t about perfection — it’s about small, supportive habits that add up over time. One calm night leads to another.
🎄 DAY 8 — SUNDAY RESET 🎄
A Gentle Sleep Reset for the Week Ahead
Sundays aren’t about starting over — they’re about easing back in.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Go to bed close to your usual weekday time
✨ Skip the pressure to “catch up” on sleep
✨ Set yourself up for a smoother Monday with a calm, consistent night
Small resets today can make a big difference tomorrow.
🎄 DAY 9 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Why Light Matters More Than You Think
As the holidays get closer, late nights and bright lights can quietly interfere with sleep — even when you feel tired.
Evening light exposure tells your brain it’s still daytime, making it harder to fully power down at night.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Lower overhead lights after dinner
✨ Choose warmer, softer lighting
✨ Support your nighttime transition with SleepCreme
Small lighting changes can make a noticeable difference in how quickly you fall asleep.

🎄 DAY 10 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Sleep Is the Gift That Actually Gets Used
We spend a lot of time searching for the perfect holiday gift — and often overlook the one thing everyone needs more of: rest.
Better sleep supports mood, energy, focus, and overall wellbeing — long after the wrapping paper is gone.
Tonight’s reminder:
✨ Sleep is self-care
✨ Sleep is a gift
✨ SleepCreme makes it simple
🎄 DAY 11 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
One Calm Night Can Change Your Whole Week
As Christmas gets closer, stress often peaks — and sleep is usually the first thing affected.
You don’t need to fix everything at once. You just need one calm night to start shifting how you feel.
Tonight’s tip:
✨ Let go of “perfect sleep”
✨ Focus on rest, not results
✨ Give your body permission to slow down
🎄 DAY 12 — 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 🎄
Let Rest Be Part of the Celebration
Tonight is Christmas Eve — a night filled with anticipation, emotion, and often a very full mind.
The final sleep tip of our 12 Days is a simple one: give yourself permission to rest.
You don’t need a perfect routine tonight. You don’t need an early bedtime or an ideal schedule. What matters most is creating a sense of calm and safety in your body before sleep.
Tonight’s tip: ✨ Let go of unfinished to-do lists
✨ Choose one familiar, calming habit before bed
✨ Allow rest to be part of the holiday, not something postponed until January
Better sleep supports presence, patience, and joy — the things that matter most during the holidays.
