The sensation of an endless night is familiar to anyone who suffers from insomnia. That’s why I have put together a list of the 10 best sleep products to help you rest better.
We all know how difficult it is to get a full night’s sleep when our lives are so exhausting. When your sleep is of poor quality, studies show that it can affect your mood, memory, and health.
1. Weighted Blanket
When I have anxiety that keeps me awake at night, a weighted blanket can be a lifesaver. By applying gentle pressure to the body, weighted blankets have a soothing effect. The best weighted blanket should be 10% of your body weight for optimal comfort.
Weighted blankets have gained popularity for their ability to reduce anxiety and promote better sleep. The gentle pressure provided by these blankets mimics the feeling of being hugged or held, which can increase feelings of comfort and security. This weight provides enough pressure to activate the body’s relaxation response without feeling too heavy or restrictive.
2. Sleep Mask
Sleep masks are a necessity in my nighttime wardrobe, with good reason. They help to block out light that could wake me up too early or keep me from falling asleep. Make sure your eye mask fits snugly but not too tight – you can even find adjustable ones.
Additionally, sleep masks can also help create a calming atmosphere and promote relaxation. By covering the eyes, they can help reduce distractions and create a sense of darkness, which can aid in falling asleep faster and achieving a deeper, more restful sleep.
3. Memory Foam Pillow and Mattress
A decent pillow will make all the difference. I can build the most ideal sleeping environment for my body with a great memory foam pillow. Simply adjust the height of the pillow by adding or removing the filling, and you will have a perfect pillow. A comfy mattress is like a foundation for a good night’s sleep. Usually, the best mattress you can get is a foam mattress, as it provides the best pressure relief and body contouring.
4. Sleep App
If stress or anxiety keeps you up at night, a good sleep aid app could be effective and convenient. The sleep tracker app that I personally recommend is ShutEye®. When I have difficulty relaxing my mind and body, I always open this app on my phone and listen to the nature sounds to aid my sleep. And speaking of sleep apps, you can also consider getting a white noise app with a timer that can help you relax. ShutEye® can even monitor my sleep quality and record my sleep talking or snoring so I know what’s going on during my sleep.
5. Cooling Bed Sheet Set
Overheating at night, according to a study, may have a disruptive impact on sleep. For me, it is impossible to fall asleep when the room temperature is too high. The right sheets will aid in maintaining a comfortable temperature and make me fall asleep fast. Cooling bed sheets are a must when you’re a hot sleeper.
6. Foam Earplugs
Whenever there was outdoor construction or my roommate was too noisy at night, I always put on earplugs. They can easily get rid of my noisy surroundings as a source of distraction and help me focus on sleeping. If you enjoy listening to music, sleep noises, or sleep stories while falling asleep, then sleep headphones might be a great option as well.
7. Blackout Curtains
Sunlight is another thing that I found extremely distracting while trying to sleep. One of the best sleep products may be the thick light-blocking curtains, and they are cheap. They eliminate the annoying sunlight that wakes me up too early in the morning. Blackout curtains made falling asleep and staying asleep a breeze. They can help improve your quality of sleep.
8. Essential Oil Diffusers
Throughout the year, the place where I live is extremely dry. That’s why I invested in an essential oil diffuser, which adds moisture to the air while also emitting a calming scent that’s ideal for dry air. The relaxing smell has helped promote better sleep throughout the night.
9. Air Purifier
I have severe allergies and couldn’t stop sneezing at times. So, I purchased an air purifier in the hopes of removing some of the dust. It turned out to be highly effective. An air purifier will help build a healthier sleeping atmosphere for those with allergies or who are sensitive to air quality. Smoke, allergens, dust, and mold are all filtered out by air purifiers.
10. Lavender Body Wash
Lavender has always been a relaxing and stimulating scent for me. And I find they aid in the de-stressing of my mind. If you like to shower before bed, incorporating lavender into your nightly sleep routine might be just what you need to help you relax before bed.
So there you have it: a list of 10 best sleep accessories to help you get better sleep at night. I suggest these items because I found them to be extremely helpful in aiding my sleep after using them. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try one of these sleep remedies to help you get to sleep and stay asleep.
