How Journalist Leigh Campbell Overcomes Insomnia to Get a Good Night's Rest

Welcome to Bedtime Stories, an interview series where we ask inspiring individuals to share their nighttime routine and sleep secrets – from the beauty products they can’t live without to the tricks they swear by when they’re too tired to function (no coffee needed). For this instalment, Leigh Campbell, executive editor of Mamamia shares the beauty products she uses and her sleep routine.

Leigh Campbell wears many hats. She's the executive editor of news, opinion, and lifestyle website Mamamia, host of podcasts You Beauty and This Glorious Mess, an ambassador for Look Good Feel Better, and a mother. It's a lot to juggle and her busy schedule is unsurprisingly tiring.

A familiar name to those who have worked in the media industry, Leigh's career so far has been nothing short of impressive. She worked as the beauty director of Cosmopolitan magazine for eight years before going on to become Head of Lifestyle at HuffPost Australia. In her current role at Mamamia she oversees the editorial offering while also continuing to write about fashion, food, wellness, travel, homewares and of course, beauty.

An expert voice in the beauty and lifestyle space, Leigh has tested fabulous products and been invited to glamorous events. But juggling her career with motherhood and also dealing with insomnia means she not only has her hands full but means it's crucial for her to find a way to get to sleep each night.

Below, the beauty expert and lifestyle journalist walks us through her morning and bedtime routine as someone who deals with insomnia, and reveals the sleep and beauty products she swears by.
