Their flagship piece of kit is this top end version of their Bodyclock. It emits non-alerting low-blue light for your pre-sleep read (or whatever else you get up to before nodding off) and can send you of to sleep and wake you up at the optimal time with a scientifically researched set of 20 soothing and stimulating sounds or DAB radio.

Sometimes we have to look back to see the way forward. Valerian root has been used for centuries in many rural cultures to promote peaceful sleep and soothe away anxiety but somewhere along the line us busy urban types lost touch with this knowledge. But now, thanks to herbal evangelists like Pukka’s Sebastian Pole, a new generation is rediscovering its power. Where the innovation comes in is the modern processes for drying botanical’s to preserve the maximum concentration of active essential oils, and in the 100% biodegradable modern bags, so your plastic footprint doesn’t keep you awake at night.
