BeSophro and its founder Dominique Antiglio have been featured in HELLO! Magazine in an in-depth article exploring sleep hygiene and the importance of an intentional bedtime routine for achieving restorative sleep.
In the piece, HELLO! turns to Dominique Antiglio, sophrologist and sleep expert, to unpack why sleep quality does not begin at bedtime itself, but hours earlier, through conscious, repeatable habits that support the nervous system and circadian rhythm.
Drawing on her work as a sophrologist, Dominique shares how mind-body practices such as breathing, gentle movement, relaxation and awareness can support the body’s natural transition into rest, particularly in a world where overstimulation, stress and digital overload increasingly disrupt sleep.
As Dominique explains in the article:
“A good bedtime routine sends a clear signal to your body that it’s time to slow down. It allows your hormones and nervous system to shift into a calmer state that supports sleep.”
She also highlights the importance of individual rhythms and consistency, noting:
“That said, we are all different types of sleepers, and what works well for one person may not work for another. The most effective routine is one that aligns with your own circadian rhythm.”
Throughout the feature, Dominique emphasises that sleep is a reflection of how we live during the day, and that small, supportive practices can help the body feel safe enough to rest naturally at night.

Why this matters
- Sleep is not a quick fix. This feature reinforces that sustainable sleep quality comes from understanding how stress, stimulation and daily habits affect the nervous system long before bedtime.
- Listening to your body matters. Rather than following rigid rules, the article highlights the importance of tuning into individual rhythms and recognising early signals of tiredness.
- Small practices can create meaningful change. Gentle, accessible techniques such as breathing, awareness and micro-practices throughout the day can support better sleep without adding pressure or complexity.
- Rest supports performance and wellbeing. By allowing the body to slow down consistently, sleep becomes a foundation for clearer thinking, emotional balance and resilience.
