Struggling to get a good night’s kip? Stick around for our review of the Crush Sleep Like the Dead Bundle.
Sleep is like my Achilles’ heel, and it has been for most of my adult life. If I’m brutally honest, most days I skate by on around six hours – a far cry from the number I know I should be hitting.
My screen time is a major issue – if I’m not staying up late to watch trash TV, then I’m doom-scrolling on TikTok, watching videos I’m not even remotely interested in.
Why do I do it? Who knows. But even when I try locking myself away from any devices, my mind just refuses to settle.
You know those evenings when, just as you’re about to fall asleep – BAM – suddenly, your brain decides to remind you of that embarrassing thing you did 10 years ago, and all of a sudden, you’re wide awake again?
In a bid to crack the code for consistent, quality sleep, I decided to roll the dice on Crush’s Sleep Like the Dead Bundle. Here’s how I got on.
What’s Inside Crush’s Sleep Like the Dead Bundle?
The Sleep Like the Dead Bundle is a four-in-one care package that includes everything from mouth tape to Ashwagandha gummies. Here’s exactly what you can expect:
- Mouth tape to encourage nasal breathing
- Nasal strips to open up those airways and get clean, humid air into those lungs
- Ashwagandha Capsules for a calming nudge into the land of nod
- A Crush 3D sleep mask that shuts out the world around you
It’s worth noting that everything in this Sleep Like the Dead Bundle comes in a 30-day supply, with the obvious exception of the face mask. At just £22.99, I felt like I’d been pretty fairly stocked up for the price.
Now, onto the question at hand: did it make a difference? Let’s take it step-by-step.
Mouth Breathers Unite
I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a bit of a mouth breather, and that hasn’t aided my quest for a more restful night’s slumber.
My partner has woken me up countless times to tell me how I was gasping for air in my sleep, and all the while, I’d been none the wiser.
So, heading into this review, I was slightly concerned about whether I’d actually be able to breathe with mouth tape on my chops.
The very fact you’re reading this review tells you I survived the experiment, and I feel all the better for it. See, breathing through your mouth bypasses the nose’s natural filtering and humidifying functions.
What’s more, it can lead to all manner of health and general hygiene problems like sleep apnoea, bad breath, infections, and even poor posture.
Crush’s nasal strips helped open up my airways and finally start to lug in cleaner air. I began waking up without the dreaded dry mouth, and throughout the day, I didn’t feel nearly as bogged down by brain fog.
My partner told me that my infamous snoring had settled down, which was a big win for us both, and even my fitness watch confirmed the quality of my sleep had taken a dramatic upturn.
Blocking Out The Haters
I must admit, I’m not really one for eye masks. When I’ve worn them before, I’ve woken up to find the things either tangled around my neck or around my forehead like some sort of strange bandana.
What I will say for the eye mask that came with Crush’s Sleep Like the Dead Bundle is this: it’s super comfortable, ultra-soft, and I couldn’t see a thing when I put it on. Like literally not a thing.
The strap felt nice and secure without digging into my scalp, and it did genuinely help when my partner and I were running on different schedules. After all, no one likes a phone torch in their eyes at 6am. Another big tick.
Introducing A Little Calm
The part of this Sleep Like the Dead Bundle I was most looking forward to was the Ashwagandha capsules.
Why? Because while my quality of sleep 100% needed to be addressed, getting there in the first place was my biggest hang-up.
I started to take two of these capsules a day, one early afternoon and the other early evening. Over the week or so that followed, I definitely noticed a shift.
The usual racing thoughts that would keep me tossing and turning at night were a lot more manageable. I felt calmer, more centred, and not nearly as wound up by the time bedtime rolled around.
It wasn’t an instant fix, but it was a slow and steady improvement. Instead of my brain firing off random thoughts at full speed, I was able to unwind more easily and drift off with less struggle.
For someone who typically lies awake replaying every cringey moment from the past decade, this was a big victory.
Is Crush’s Sleep Like the Dead Bundle Worth It?
In my view, it was worth every penny. Each individual element brought something to the table, and when combined, the results are huge.
Not only am I enjoying deeper sleep, but I’ll continue to reap the rewards in the months to come, from dental hygiene to how often I get sick.
All that for £22.99? You’d be crazy not to try it for yourself. If your sleep is in dire need of attention, head to Crush’s website and snag your Sleep Like the Dead Bundle today.
