A good morning usually starts the night before
That simple idea inspired the partnership between Symprove and This Works, with new Symprove customers receiving a combined gut health and sleep gift pack.
We want to bring together two small daily habits to support wellbeing across the full 24 hours of the day. Symprove is taken in the morning to help support the gut microbiome, while This Works deep sleep pillow spray is proven to help you fall asleep faster and wake feeling more refreshed, together helping to create a routine that supports how people feel throughout the day.
Whatβs included in the gift pack
Each new customer will receive a gift pack designed to support both ends of the day. This includes:
- All four flavours of Symprove in travel-size bottles, with live and active bacteria
- A Symprove shot glass to support daily consistency
- A This Works deep sleep pillow spray
Why gut health and sleep are being discussed together
Sleep and gut health are both areas people are paying far more attention to, and increasingly the two are being talked about together. Research continues to show the connection between the gut microbiome and sleep regulation, often called the gut-brain axis.
We now know that the gut microbiome plays a surprisingly wide role in how the body functions, influencing everything from digestion and immune health to mood and stress response.
Because the gut and brain are constantly communicating, sleep and gut health can affect each other in ways people notice day to day.
Everyone knows the feeling after a disrupted night: energy levels are lower, itβs harder to concentrate, and digestive issues can often be part of the picture too.Β Over time, stress, poor sleep and gut imbalance can start to feed into each other, which is why supporting both sleep and gut health together can make such a difference.
The role of evening routines
As people become more aware of their gut health, the way they think about their daily routines is evolving too. For a long time, people only thought about their sleep when it became a problem. Now, people are paying attention to how they wind down in the evening and establishing routines and small habits that help them properly switch off.
Sleep does not usually begin the moment your head hits the pillow. It starts earlier, with the small cues that signal to the body that the day is coming to an end, and establishing a consistent wind-down ritual can help create that transition from the pace of the day into rest.
This is where products designed to support relaxation can become part of that routine. The deep sleep pillow spray from This Works has become a popular addition to many peopleβs night-time rituals, helping to create a calm environment before bed and signalling that the day is coming to a close.
The role of morning routines
If the evening prepares the body for rest, the morning is a chance to support it in a different way. Looking after the gut microbiome is an important part of peopleβs daily wellbeing habits. Taking Symprove first thing in the morning delivers live and active bacteria to the gut, supporting the microbiome as part of a consistent start to the day.
A routine that supports the full day
Wellbeing rarely comes down to one single habit. More often, it is shaped by the routines that bookend the day. When sleep improves, mornings tend to feel easier, and when mornings begin well, the rest of the day often follows.

Expert perspective
Dr Anna Persaud
The connection between gut health and sleep is increasingly well understood, particularly in how it relates to inflammation and immune response. When sleep is disrupted, this balance is affected, which can show up not only in the skin, but also in how we feel.
Sleep hygiene is therefore essential. Sleep is a fundamental biological infrastructure underpinning gut function, immune regulation and skin repair. Without consistent, quality sleep, this balance is compromised, impacting immune regulation, stress response and visible skin health.
Through the This Works Neuro Platform, we apply our neurosensorial science to help shift the body from a heightened, fight-or-flight stress response into a more regulated, rest-and-digest state. When the body remains in a state of nervous system dysregulation, it is less able to enter deep, restorative sleep, reinforcing this cycle of imbalance.
This is where consistent evening rituals become important. Functional Fragrance works with the brainβs limbic pathways, helping to support parasympathetic activation. Used as part of a nightly routine, simple sensory cues - like a deep sleep pillow spray - can help signal to the body that itβs time to rest.
Over time, these small, repeatable actions help support deeper sleep, a more balanced gut environment, and a healthier internal state that is reflected in the skin.
