Aussies' favourite exercise app Kic teams up with Sheet Society to elevate your sleep routine
Few things feel better than a full eight hours of sleep, and we all know that a deep, restorative reset can work wonders for both the mind and body.
Studies show that 69 per cent of people are still tired or totally exhausted when they wake up, and nearly one in four people wake up multiple times and struggle to get back to sleep.
If you've tried all kinds of sleeping wonders (think magnesium, calming pillow sprays and sunrise alarm clocks) but had no luck sleeping the whole night through — you may need to call in the experts.
And by experts we mean Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith, founders of the KIC app, a one-stop-shop for exercise classes, nutritious recipes and guided meditations.

Tried and tested
Best Picks writer Holly put Rest Club to the test, to see if the new guided meditations could help her drift off easily.
'Ever since returning from overseas I've struggled to sleep the entire night through, often waking up multiple times, tossing and turning too much.
'As someone who needs a solid eight hours of sleep, I was really keen to try out the Rest Club meditations as I wind down for the evening — in hope they would do the trick.
'So after getting comfortable in bed, I pressed play on Meg's Deep Sleep Meditation, listening to her soothing voice as I focused on my breathe and attempted to clear my mind after a long week.
'She really helped me to notice how much tension I was holding onto and how to let it go before falling asleep, and it must have worked to relax my mind and body as I slept for a solid seven hours.
'Like everything, consistency is key — so I'll be adding Meg's meditations to my evening routines.'
