I have bad anxiety that loves to rear its head in the middle of the night but I was skeptical a weighted blanket could really do much to help. Boy, let me tell you I was WRONG. It takes some getting used to, but after a few nights, I couldn't sleep without it. There's just something about having some extra weight on you — it's like having your cat or dog lay on your stomach when they know you don't feel well. I feel like I'm not doing a good job describing what it's like, but tldr; if my house were burning down and I only had time to save one thing (other than my pets, obvi) I would drag this thing to safety.
Promising review: "I stalked my delivery man for hours before this came, it came very fast. as soon as I got it I ripped open the package and brought it straight to my room. Oh my GOD is this blanket amazing. I got the 20-pound one it feels like I’m being swaddled like the perfect baby I am hehe. I have bad anxiety and I can never sleep. As soon as I got it I took a long nap and woke up hours later. I never even napped after finals in college, this knocked me right out. I will say it’s not very cooling, however I am always hot even if i sleep with no blanket at all. I highly recommend this blanket. I had looked at like 70 of them before getting this one. My bed is a full and it fits perfectly. Even my dog approves!!! :)" —Ceci

I spend 25% of my life in the bath so I may be biased here, but man I love this stuff. The scent isn't too strong and the bubbles are long-lasting — two things that I always look for!
Promising review: "I would say that this is my all-time favorite bubble bath, but the fact is, since I found it, I haven't tried any other. I am sure there are others just as good, but I'll stick with this and buy it in bulk so I won't run out. The bubbles are plentiful and sumptuous and cleansing. They don't dry out my skin like others have (though I cannot go so far as to say they moisturize). The scent is pleasant and soothing. This potion assures me a luxurious, relaxing bath time that will aid my transition into a good night's sleep." —Oakley

I have never been one to splurge on sheets but these babies changed my mind. You know that feeling of sliding into clean sheets with freshly shaved legs? How cool and soft and incredible everything feels? That is what these sheets feel like 24/7, even when you haven't taken a razor to your legs in months.
Promising review: "I’ve had these sheets for a few months now. I wanted to give a review once they had been washed and slept on a few times. I can now say....hands down....THE BEST sheets I own. The color stays true and does not bleed. The fit stays perfect. And they truly do get softer with each wash....which is extra lovely because they start out already feeling great. They do get even better with use. I’ve owned a lot of sheets in my life, and as it’s time to replace what I have it will be with Looma. Absolutely. I couldn’t be happier." —Tracy C.

Promising review: "I’m absolutely in LOVE with this sound machine! I’ve been using an app on my iPhone for as long as I remember to reduce anxiety with hearing myself breathe when trying to sleep. In time, I realized the damage it probably does to my phone battery when it’s on all the time so i decided to look into buying a sound machine. This machine has so many different sounds (even though I only ever is the one, the others are a plus). It’s super easy to operate and has a beautiful design. The volume is adjustable from quiet to loud with amazing sound quality. The night light on it is sooo perfect! It goes from dim enough to just find the light switch on my nightstand to bright enough to illuminate the whole room! I’m just absolutely obsessed with this noise machine. It gives me those stress-free comfortable nights I’ve been craving. Seriously, if you are looking for a sleep machine, look no further. This is it!!!" —Laurel Linda

Promising review: "I love this cream dearly. I have so much trouble sleeping due to stress and anxiety. But, I think I may have Pavlov's-dogged myself with this lotion. Whenever I put on Sleepy, the lavender and tonka scent immediately relaxes my body. It has gotten to the point where I use the Sleepy bath bomb or shower gel before bed to prep myself mentally and physically for bed. I'm even considering the Sleepy spray (though its a bit above my budget). The lotion itself is very moisturizing; I never fail to wake up with soft and hydrated skin (especially important during the cooler and drier seasons)." —Princess Jo

Promising review: "Before I purchased, I read through so many of the reviews on these curtains. I had previously purchased similar curtains from Bed, Bath & Beyond and was sorely disappointed when they didn't work, so I was a bit skeptical that these would be any different. But, I figured hundreds of 5 star reviews couldn't be wrong — and they weren't. These do exactly as they say — block the light completely, and help to muffle sound. I live next to a busy highway and as soon as I put these up, it sounded like the highway was far in the distance. I track my sleep every night, and since I've had these curtains I've gone from a 60% to 70% quality of sleep to 90%+ every single night. Highly recommend!" —Nichole

The alarm/bedside reading lamp has ten different brightness settings as well as an FM radio, snooze button, and dimmable display. You can also choose between five different wake up sounds including chirping birds, ocean waves, and classical music.
Promising review: "Best purchase EVER for the year!!! I am sleeping 8+ hours a day now (previously 5.5 hours). It is easier to wake up in the morning and to fall asleep. I was going to counseling service to improve my sleeping conditions (I was not able to fall asleep at all even when I have no tasks to do during holiday). $150 one time. My problem was resolved by this lamp and I haven't visited a counselor for two months while my sleep conditions significantly improve. This thing ACTUALLY SAVES MONEY. (I am not saying this thing can replace therapists/counselor — they really help and you should still seek assistance if you need to)." —Wenz

"No, CBD will not get you high. But, it will make you feel like you’re turning the volume down on the chaos in your life jusssst a little bit. THC is the stuff that gets you high, and all of our products have less than the federally legal limit of 0.3% THC." — Happy Dance CBD 101

Promising review: "OMG!! This is THE BEST pillow ever! I am not pregnant, but I have a plethora of back problems and thought this might help me sleep better. Just the comfort and the way you can lay just about any way with ease is so very helpful. I have only owned this pillow for three hours and had a quick nap, and had to come write a review (which I hardly ever do). So, if you have back, hip, leg or neck problems, you should definitely try this out. Thank you to whomever created this delight!!" —You Wish Louise

The breathable, deep-pocket topper hugs your mattress like a fitted sheet, so you don't have to worry about it popping off in the middle of the night. Plus — major plus — it's machine washable, so you don't have to drag it to the dry cleaner's.
Promising review: "Whoaaa this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress, that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape so I didn’t want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn’t working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it’s like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night . Haven’t slept that good in a long time. I also like that it’s attached to the mattress pad, so it’s not sliding al over. It slept very cool, I’m assuming that’s because is cotton. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." —Julie

Promising review: "This is a beautiful and elevated diffuser. I was searching for a ceramic diffuser with an elegant form for under $100 and this is it! It functions well and even comes with a small measuring cup for pouring the water in (which I did not think I needed, but now cannot live without because you can refill it without having to unplug the base and walk to the sink). I own several diffusers and this one is my favorite. Highly recommend! I diffuse several drops of therapeutic-grade lavender and eucalyptus at the same time and my house smells like a spa." —Liz O.

Promising review: "I absolutely had to write this review on the off chance that it might help a fellow insomniac. I am in my early forties and have suffered terribly from insomnia since my early twenties. I just can't turn my head off at night and fall asleep. If I'm lucky and take my meds, I might be fortunate enough to sleep for maybe four hours, and that's intermittently. I still constantly wake up and it takes me forever to fall back asleep, if I'm lucky enough to even fall back asleep. When I do sleep, it's very lightly; I never reach that wonderful deep sleep stage. So basically I feel awful and am tired all the time. I have used other pillow sprays and they were just a joke and a waste of my money. The first night I used, I fell asleep within minutes AND DID NOT WAKE UP OR MOVE A MUSCLE ALL NIGHT. I slept for eight hours straight and woke up feeling amazing because I was so rested and refreshed. I was obviously thrilled but figured it was probably just a fluke. I have been using this every night for over a week now and I sleep like a baby every single night. I have literally cried tears of joy at the relief I feel of finally being able to sleep like a normal person." —Ulta Customer

Promising review: "AMAZING! I get very dry lips from allergies and my night guard. I’ve used this two nights in a row and I LOVE IT! My lips are so soft when I wake up and not dry at all!! I love that it stays on all night, and comes with the applicator (good for me cause I have long nails and I don’t get it all in my nails LOL). I don’t really find it tastes like anything but I don’t wanna lick it off either LOL ... but I can see the difference in the texture in my lips and feel it with no cracks... very very happy!!... you don’t need much so worth the money!!" —inaa
Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in four colors/scents).
Promising review: "OMG these things really work. I bought these bad boys two months ago since my upstairs neighbors (a nurse and a police officer) have crazy work schedules and our 100-year-old hardwood floor squeaks with every step. I just moved into this apartment and since the first night I knew I would not be able to survive here without something that blocks the noise. I wake up to every noise and every night for the first week I was waking up as as soon as they get up out of bed or came home (between 3am and 6am) and couldn’t fall sleep again. That was until I got these. They cancel out most of the noise from upstairs and are comfortable to sleep in. I can’t even hear my husband’s alarm in the morning. I was worried they would get stuck in my ear canal as some reviews mentioned, but honestly after using them for two months, I don’t understand how that is even possible. These things don’t break apart easily. For the price, quality, and functionality, these are 100% worth buying." —Mis

Turning them on/off is super simple: use the Smart Life app on your phone, or connect them to your Alexa or Google Home speaker for completely hands-off functionality. If you know you always fall asleep or wake at the same time, you can even set them to turn on/off based on your routine.
Promising review: "I am sensitive to the 'blue light' in the evening /nights as it can reduce melatonin production and cause insomnia. Now, these bulbs gave me the option just like switching the iPhone or iPAD to 'night shift mode' — which is essentially reducing the color temperature from 5000K+ to 2700K or 3000K. With these, I do not have to struggle anymore. The bulbs look like standard A19 type medium base and easily connected via the accompanying app. The app is amazing and has various options, including four temperature modes." —S. Dhruva

Promising review: "I LOVE these pajamas. I thought I had lost my mind ordering them because of the cost but now I couldn’t sleep in anything else if I wanted to and I’m consideering a second set. I do think they run small and wish you could mix and match sizes, but those are small complaints!" —Autumn B.

Promising review: "I am in love with my blue-light-blocking glasses! Not only do they reduce my headaches and keep my eyes from going numb after staring at a computer screen for so long, but they actually help me get sleepy while laying in bed watching Netflix! I used to stay awake for at least an hour after shutting it off at night and now I start dozing off while I’m still watching. Plus I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them:) Highly recommend!" —Alicia H.

The glare-free display reads more like a traditional book than an electronic device and a single battery charge lasts for weeksss. Since it's waterproof, you can also read in the bath and if you're a fan of audio books, you can nod off as you listen to a story on Audible (the e-reader can be paired with bluetooth headphones or a speaker).
Promising review: "I really like the new Paperwhite Kindle. Previously, I used an older Paperwhite (I think the first one that came out) and loved it as well. The new one has a flat bezel, which I like better, and the device just seems faster and more intuitive in general. I love having a device just for reading, especially in bed, and the Paperwhite Kindle does not hurt my eyes or cause a glare. I am able to sleep just fine after reading on this device, unlike the problems I have sleeping after using my iPad or phone before bed. Lightweight and waterproof (I read in the tub often but have not yet dropped my Kindle into the water!), this latest iteration of the Kindle Paperwhite is well worth the money. If you want a device JUST for reading and not for web surfing or anything, this is the one to get." —Bookwyrm

The compact, 1.5-liter appliance can operate for 16 continuous hours and an optional night light makes it even more bedroom-friendly.
Promising review: "I didn't realize how much moisture I was losing from my skin until I received this humidifier. I can actually breathe at night; where I live the temperature fluctuates on a daily basis...example: one day 45 degrees Fahrenheit and the next 70 degrees Fahrenheit. My eyes were getting very dry from working on the computer and since I have added a humidifier in my bedroom and office I haven't had nearly the issues I was having before: I sleep better, my eyes aren't nearly as red as before, and my seasonal allergies do not leave me debilitated due to weather fluctuations. This device is easy to setup and use right out of the box and does not use much electrical energy. Thank you for making a humidifier that is cost effective, elegant, and practical." —A_V

The hand-carved lamp (controlled via a 6-foot dimmer cord) gives off a tranquil amber glow that's said to "infuse a natural calm."
Promising review: "I love this! It’s beautiful and helping me sleep better at night. I like the dimmer switch because it allows me to turn it very low at night time, because I like to sleep in a very dark room, so it does not affect my ability to fall asleep. I feel that in my home I’m breathing so much better. I work out in my home and I put a lamp in that room and I noticed that I breathe easier while exercising. I am going to have one of these in every room in my home and I recommend you do the same. It was also delivered quickly, packaged great and it looked even better than I thought it would look for the price. Great product will order more!" —LisaB31

Promising review: "The Sleep Pod is absolutely amazing. I am 41 and have had sleep maintenance insomnia for most of my life. If you don't know what that is I fall asleep fine but don't stay asleep. I'd wake up between four and eight times a night and sometimes only sleep two hrs and that'd be it. I have used the hug sleep for a week and have slept between seven and nine hours only waking up once. It's comfortable not too warm and the pressure it applies is comforting not restricting. I have recommended to everyone." —Amy Archambault

Promising review: "I go through my day habitually nose breathing. However, once I go to sleep, I start mouth breathing, and I snore. After the first night I used this strip, I noticed that my nose wasn't clogged at all. I'm usually congested until I take a hot shower. My wife told me that I slept silently, not the slightest snoring sound. To prove it, she recorded one night without the strip and one night with. The results sleep for themselves. I haven't missed a night since I saw how much my sleep improved. No dry mouth, no congestion, no waking up my wife!" —Amazon Customer

We should also mention that the pillowcase is great for your hair and skin (less friction that other fabrics like cotton), so it's a real win all around!
Promising review: "Definitely had one of those 'girl, don’t do it' moments when contemplating buying two of these, but I’m glad I did! I’m going to save to buy two more. If you’re on the fence, try at least one. You’ll wonder how you ever slept on anything else!!!" —Jazmin Q.

Promising review: "My favorite robe ever! It's so soft and I love the long length to keep my ankles warm. The hood is fantastic and the purple is such a pretty color. By far, my favorite part of it is the deep pockets! The pockets in my other robes are fairly shallow and my phone always falls out. These are much deeper and I've had no issues losing anything I put in it." —A
