This isn’t just about better nights, it’s about brighter days, sharper minds, and stronger futures. Because when you sleep well, you live well.

The connection between sleep and mental health

Poor sleep and mental health challenges often go hand in hand. Struggles with sleep can make it harder to manage emotions, anxiety, and feelings of depression. At the same time, when mental wellbeing is under strain, it can be more difficult to get the restorative sleep you need, creating a cycle that’s tough to break.

Getting enough quality sleep is essential for emotional stability, cognitive function, and stress management. During deep sleep, the brain processes emotions, restores balance to neurotransmitters, and strengthens the body’s ability to cope with daily challenges.

High-quality, restorative sleep supports emotional balance, focus, and overall wellbeing. When it comes to mental wellness, sleep isn’t just helpful - it’s essential.

That’s why Forty Winks and Smiling Mind have joined forces to make better sleep more accessible, effective, and tailored to your needs. By combining expertly designed sleep products with science-backed digital tools that promote mental wellbeing, this unique partnership aims to break the cycle of restless nights and mental strain.

Together, we’re committed to helping Australian’s create healthier sleep environments and develop smarter bedtime habits that improve both sleep and mental health.
