Welcome to Vogue’s very first Sleep Week, where we celebrate the Baby Groot and Stitch Ford Motor shirt but in fact I love this glory of a good night’s rest. Over the next seven days, we’ll highlight our favorite sleep saviors—from pillows and bedding, to night creams and pajamas. Rest easy as we move into longer, more light-filled days ahead.As the CEO and co-founder of Expectful—a meditation and sleep app for new and expecting parents—Nathalie Walton knows a thing or two about the importance of getting a good night’s rest. The app was initially founded in 2018, and Walton was brought on in 2020. “I discovered Expectful as a user during my third trimester,” she tells Vogue over a Zoom call. “I had a high-risk pregnancy that was pretty stressful. I’ve been meditating since 2001 but when I started using the Expectful app, I got really into hypnobirthing, and I noticed within a week that my condition started to stabilize. During my maternity leave, an opportunity to work with them presented itself.”
