What happens when two brothers run high-pressure hospitality businesses for five years, lose the ability to sleep, and reach total burnout? For Thom and Rich Hemelryk, it became the beginning of Drowsy, a luxury sleep brand built from personal crisis, obsessive product testing, and a mission to help people rest well.

Drowsy began with a simple question: what could make bedtime feel so luxurious that the day's stress finally melts away?

Burnout Was The Breaking Point

Thom and Rich were working 16-hour days running a hospitality business. With no time to wind down, the stress and tension from each day carried into bedtime. Sleeplessness snowballed into chronic insomnia, unhealthy habits, and total burnout.

They recognized that their lives needed to change. They sold their businesses and made sleep the focus of rebuilding their health, energy, and everyday lives.

The Journey To Drowsy

After discovering how deeply better sleep changed their own lives, Thom and Rich began a year-long journey to create the ultimate sleep mask. They wanted something that blocked out light, felt genuinely luxurious, and gave bedtime its own signal: it is time to let go of the day.

After testing hundreds of fabrics, fillings, and designs, they launched their first sleep mask. It was created by them and for them, but they soon discovered that many other people were looking for the same kind of escape.

From Quiet Launch To National Breakthrough

After six months of low sales, the founders were starting to worry. Then a leading UK beauty editor discovered the mask and featured it on national television. The response was immediate: Drowsy sold out in minutes and spent the following months working through a huge order backlog.

The brand went on to appear in leading beauty publications and helped bring luxury sleep into the mainstream conversation.

More Than A Sleep Mask

Drowsy is about creating the conditions for better rest. The soft materials, light-blocking design, and luxurious feel are all part of a bedtime ritual that helps the day come to an end.

The brand's office even doubles as an in-house sleep lab, allowing the team to keep learning, testing, and improving every detail of the experience.
