Comfort would be the top of your concerns when dressing for a trip as specially curated as this. You would want to be able to take nap anytime in the day, but also be ready to head out at a moment’s notice should you feel like it. Hence, we recommend the loungewear collection from Uniqlo as a staple in your packing list. Easy, lightweight, and practical for any occasion, you want loungewear that can double as a casual fit for a day out.

What you need are a loose pair of pants and a stylish, but sleep-worthy top to doze off in. Uniqlo offers an array of pajamas set in varying colours, patterns and designs. Check out the incredibly soft seersucker short sleeve pajama set which comes in a cute, gingham pink. Moreover, it’s versatile enough to wear out without attracting any stares, so you can skip packing too much in your luggage.

We love the Airism cotton pajamas set as well, with its incredibly lightweight and breathable material that will surely leave you relaxed at the end of a long week. 

We know how tough it is to sleep with the covers on. Sometimes, it’s too stuffy, sometimes it’s too cold. For those who hate the feeling of sweat, but don’t want to turn on the aircon, Airism is built-in with the function to wick your sweat up to ensure a comfortable bedtime experience.

MUJI is one of our favourite one-stop shops for travel essentials. All its products are known for a minimalist yet fuss-free style, whether it’s food, beauty or even kitchenware.

For a sleep-cation, get some practical essentials like a classy and compact linen storage case that doubles as a packing cube that helps your organize your suitcase. You could also treat your exhausted feet to a lush pair of soft slippers in the right size for you — for a better experience than the generic slippers from hotels can provide.

If you like to drink a warm cup of tea before bed, pick up some one of MUJI’s organic teas, such as Chamomile & Orange Peel tea. Look out for ingredients that help with sleep, like chamomile which boasts a calming effect.

Music helps a great deal in ensuring quality sleep. Whether it is a calming instrumental playlist, ASMR, white noise or your favorite Spotify sleep playlist, you can trust Devialet to be just the place where you can get a quality Bluetooth portable speaker as your travel partner.

We love the Devialet Mania as the perfect companion for a sleep-cation. The portable speaker functions like a mini home stereo system due to its adaptive cross-stereo which results in an expansive 360° stereo sound that is crisp and clean no matter what position you put the speaker in.

Packed with a 30Hz to 20kHz frequency response that covers the entire audio spectrum from bass to medium to treble, the Devialet Mania ensures a fully fleshed out listening experience for the sleepy audiophile — something many portable speakers are not capable of.

Test it out at the Devialet showroom in ION Orchard to experience the richness of the music before you make a purchase. It also comes in other calming colours like light grey or gold if the popular deep black is not to your liking.

Feeling clean and the unwinding before sleeping are some of the key ideas to prime yourself for a good night’s rest. So, when you go on your sleep-cation, make sure you have a warm, bubbly and aromatic bath or shower before you turn in for the night.

Try the aromatic Eucalyptus Spearmint Body Wash and Foam Bath which will take you from tired to terrific. If you are afraid of dryness in your hotel room, a good body cream such as the After Dark Body Cream could melt your worries as it’s enriched with hyaluronic acid, leaving your skin to feel soft, smooth and replenished.

The Vanilla Patchouli essential oil mist also works as a wonderful body spray sweet dreams it will conjure as you immerse yourself in the aroma of patchouli which is known to ease anxiety and stress.
