girlllll, we know that you’re tired. us too. we’re tired of unrealistic expectations, of political turmoil, of doomscrolling on social media, of the patriarchy and white supremacy, of the burnout that comes from a productivity obsessed society, of climate change and pollution. tired from the weight of it all…
and yet, despite this mental, physical and spiritual exhaustion, us ladies are getting less quality sleep – “46% of women report having sleep problems almost every night” (national sleep foundation). So why is it when life gets overwhelming, stressful or busy, our sleep routines and sleep quality are often the first thing to suffer or fall to the wayside (intentionally, or not)?
look, the truth is we aren’t going to be able to fix all of the things that may be causing your fatigue. but we created sleepy bonez to encourage you to shift your mindset about sleep and self-care. we want to inspire you to romanticize the hell out of your life. main character energy, baby! because ~nEwSfLaSh~ YOU are the main character of your life. we want you to wake up each day with the energy and confidence to chase and achieve your own waking dreams - you deserve it
mission
we aim to curate and provide high-quality, sustainable products that help you achieve a more restful sleep
planetary promise
helping you sleep better is our north star, but we also want to be kind to the planet along the way. the climate crisis is here and we know how damaging our capitalistic society can be to the environment. this is why we are committed to providing more sustainable alternatives to your everyday products from vendors with eco-friendly values - making shopping sustainably a dream
about the founder
hi! i'm heather and i’m a night owl at heart, trying to function in an early bird world. i'm not a scientist or psychologist with years of formalized training on sleep. i’m an ex-corporate girly whose anxiety continues to interfere with my own sleep hygiene and self-care routines. i started sleepy bonez to help you get the quality rest you deserve and remind us all that rest is mandatory
the name
“wake up, sleepy bones” is the way my dad, mike, would wake me in the morning or after a nap. it felt instinctive to call my sustainable sleep wellness company something so familiar and honor my dad in the same fell swoop
acknowledgements
personal
i could not have created sleepy bonez without the wonderful people in my life who helped support this dream - directly or indirectly. thank you all for your words of encouragement, feedback and love.
land
sleepy bonez currently operates on the land of the lake superior chippewa indians and acknowledges the genocide and violence inflicted upon native people as a direct result of settler colonialism as well as the injustices that continue to persist today.
this acknowledgement is the first step and we commit to listening to and learning from tribal nations and indigenous communities, past, present and future.
