Sleep Rituals from Around the World You’ll Want to Try

Lately, I’ve been low-key obsessed with how other cultures wind down before bed. From tea traditions to pre-sleep rituals that don’t involve doom-scrolling, I went on a mini global tour this week — without ever leaving my Vibe mattress. 🛏️✨

Here are a few of my favorite international sleep rituals that I actually tried — and seriously loved.

1. UK & India: Sip Something Soothing Before Bed

In the UK and parts of India, bedtime tea is a whole thing. Whether it’s chamomile, golden milk, or an herbal blend, these calming drinks help signal your body that it’s time to wind down.

I tried chamomile the other night and honestly? I was out like a light. 😴 No melatonin, no tossing and turning — just a warm mug and some cozy vibes.

Pro tip: Make it a full experience. Cozy socks, low lights, and your favorite mug = instant calm.

2. Japan: Clean Sheets, Clear Mind

One thing I learned from Japanese sleep habits is the importance of keeping your sleep space tidy. Think: freshly laundered sheets, zero clutter, maybe even a cracked window for fresh air.

So I deep-cleaned my bedroom, washed my sheets, and made everything feel just right. The difference? Huge. My room felt lighter, and so did my brain.

And let’s not ignore the unsung hero here — my Vibe gel memory foam mattress. It keeps me cool, comfy, and supported, even when I’m wrapped up like a burrito. 🌀Purchase yours here: vibezzz.io/o3KyOL

3. Spain: Embrace the Slow-Down

In Spain, it’s not just about siestas — the evening vibe is all about slowing things way down. No rushing. No late-night multitasking. Just dim lights, soft music, maybe a little journaling or quiet time.

I tried a “slow hour” before bed — no phone, no TV, just winding down intentionally. And wow... my sleep quality that night? A whole new level.

Bringing the World to Your Bedroom

Whether it's a warm drink, a clean space, or a quiet hour of calm, these rituals reminded me that good sleep isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you prepare for it.

If you're still tossing and turning, I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: Start with your mattress. My Vibe mattress has been the best upgrade I’ve made. Supportive. Cooling. Cozy. Certified.

And now? It’s the perfect place to explore bedtime rituals from all over the world.
