1. A weighted sleep mask that'll give you the most restful and relaxed sleep ever. One reviewer loves how it helps muffle sounds (great if you live in a high traffic area or noisy building).
2. And an equally cozy weighted blanket that'll help you sleep like a baby. Reviewers say that it has helped them fall asleep faster, aided their anxiety, and helped with insomia and PTSD.
3. A set of silk pillow cases that'll make you feel like you're staying at a five-star hotel instead of your apartment. Turns out you can be bougie on a budget.
4. A bottle of overnight facial oil that'll rejuvenate your dry and dull skin while you rest. It's packed with nourishing ingredients like jojoba oil, ginseng, and papaya to hydrate your skin to the max.
It's also infused with a calming lavender scent that'll help you drift off to sleep in no time.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $47.21.
5. A white noise machine that will lull you to sleep with its soothing nature sounds. It has two USB ports in the back, so you can use it to charge your devices overnight, too.
6. A pack of light-dimming stickers that you'll want to stick on all the electronics in your bedroom. LEDs are still visible through them, but they'll block the annoying flare and glare.
7. A tin of fancy peppermint tea that looks pretty and tastes even better. It's caffeine-free, so it'll help you unwind before you hit the hay.
The tin is so pretty you'll totally want to repurpose it when you're done. One reviewer says they use it to display their makeup brushes on their vanity. There are also less expensive versions, if you don't want to break the bank.

8. And a smartphone-controlled Ember mug that'll keep your drink warm with the help of an app, so you won't need to keep getting out of bed to reheat your beverage. The future really is now.
9. A memory foam pillow with cooling gel inside so that you don't have to flip your pillow every hour. Reviewers say its a real lifesaver in the summer months and that it has helped with their neck and back pain.
10. A dead sea salt soak that's formulated to balance and soften your skin and ease muscle tension. If you need something to help you get into relaxation mode between a busy day and bedtime, this is it.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $27. Also available in lavender scent.
11. A FitBit fitness tracker that'll keep track of your sleep patterns by monitoring how much light, deep, and REM sleep you get. You can view all your stats using the free app and it'll even give you pointers on how to improve your sleep quality.
12. A light-up aromatherapy diffuser that will fill your room with spa scents. It also works as a humidifier, if your space tends to feel a bit stuffy.
Reviewers love that it doesn't run out of steam after only an hour or two, thanks to its large water tank. You can pair it with some sleep-assisting essential oil or grab a whole set of essential oils to perfect your own blend.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $36.99.
13. A pillowy soft cotton sleep mask that'll block out every little bit of light. Great for hangovers, plane rides, and days when you just don't want to be greeted by the sun.
One BuzzFeed editor is obsessed with it because it has an elastic strap and is fully adjustable, so you can easily create your perfect fit. She also says it blacks out everything, which is great if you can't sleep when there's even the tiniest bit light in sight.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $29.99. An updated version also available.
14. A Philips light therapy lamp that'll help you wind down and wake up. It mimics the progression of an actual sunrise and sunset (depending on when you're using it) by gradually brightening or fading over the course of 30 minutes.
15. A pair of sound-blocking earplugs for when you want to call it a night, but your roommate is still wide awake and making noise. These adjust to your ear, so you'll barely feel like you're wearing them.
16. An Alexa-enabled Echo Dot that'll be your bedside personal assistant. It's also a speaker, so you can use it to catch up on podcasts or listen to playlists before you turn out the lights.
17. An infinity neck pillow that's so hecking comfortable you'll use it even when you're not travelling. It's made of soft bamboo fabric and feels more like a fluffy duvet than a stiff travel pillow.
18. A portable bedside caddy so that you don't have journals, books, and electronics piled up in your bed (me ATM). No nightstand table, no problem.
19. A bottle of calming pillow spray that's infused with lavender, vetivert, and wild chamomile to relax your mind and body. You just spritz it onto your pillow and let the smells take you to dreamland.
20. A leatherbound bullet journal that you can fill with all the thoughts that are floating around in your head. This will keep you from staring at your phone (which you probably shouldn't do right before you go to sleep, anyway).
21. An acupressure mat and pillow that'll massage your pressure points and relieve built-up tension and pain. Reviewers say that it's great for relaxing your muscles before hopping into bed.
22. A set of UV-blocking blackout curtains to keep the light from creeping in to your room too early. They also create an insulating barrier against heat and cold, so your room will stay the perfect temperature.
23. A hot and cold therapy mask that will help you sleep through the night and is also a saviour for headaches. Heat it up if you want a relaxing rest or cool it down to conquer aches and pains.
24. A huge body pillow that'll hug your body's curves and contours, and make your bed, like, crazy comfortable. Reviewers say that it helps relieve back pain, so it's a great option if you suffer from any discomfort lying flat on your back.
25. A set of microfleece sheets that will make your bed a ultra cozy. They're super warm, making them a great choice for winter.
26. A Canadian-made Endy mattress that you can melt into at the end of a hard day (or when you just need a nap).
A BuzzFeed editor owns one and swears by it! Here's what she has to say:
"I felt a little skeptical about ordering a mattress online, but this is one of the best "adult" purchases that I've ever made. It's super comfy and a big upgrade from my previous mattress. My old mattress was soft and cushiony, but it offered little to no support. I would wake up with lower back pain and would have restless nights. Unlike my old mattress, this one strikes the perfect balance of firm, but squishy. I seriously don't feel like getting out of bed in the morning and it was super easy to get up the narrow staircase in my apartment building. And the best part? It has zero motion transfer, meaning I don't wake up when my dog decides to get up or move around." — Sarah Aspler
Get it on Amazon Canada for $675+. Available in size twin XL to California king.
27. Or a memory foam mattress topper, if you want to upgrade the bed you already have. It's packed with temperature-regulating gel beads that'll keep you from overheating in the middle of the night.
28. And finally, a dreamy mushroom night light that'll keep your room or hallway aglow and looks way more expensive than it is. It adjusts automatically as a room dims or brightens, so you don't have to do any work.
You for the rest of the year:
