Having Trouble Sleeping? Kic’s New Rest Club Is Here To Help

In our 24/7 society, a good night’s sleep is crucial. That’s why the Sleep Health Foundation , a not-for-profit that raises awareness about the importance of sleep, launched Sleep Health Week. This year’s campaign runs from Monday August 11 to Friday August 15 – and to mark the week, wellness app Kic has joined forces with Aussie bedding label Sheet Society for a dreamy collab: Rest Club.

The club sits alongside Kic’s Pilates videos, recipe content, run programs and gym sessions, and will be live for a limited time. Inside, you’ll find meditations and soundscapes, gentle stretch Pilates and other wind-down classes – plus a Facebook group where members can swap tips for better slumber.

The launch follows new survey findings from Sheet Society showing that nearly one in four people wake up multiple times a night and struggle to get back to sleep – and only six per cent regularly meditate before bed.

For Sheet Society founder Hayley Worley, winding down starts about an hour before bed. “I’ll use lamps to create mood lighting,” she says. “A slightly darker, warmer light helps to trigger your body to release melatonin (the chemical our body makes to help us go to sleep) so we’re already on our way to falling asleep before we actually jump into bed.”

At night, Kic founder Laura Henshaw opts for a hot shower, stretching and at least an hour of screen-free time. “I want to get much better at actually sticking to this,” she tells Broadsheet. She also plans to start journalling and incorporating stretch Pilates before bed – with a little help from Rest Club.

Sign up to Rest Club via the Kic app from August 11 for a limited time – and shop Sheet Society’s curated edit of linen and bamboo bedding to help you drift off in style.
