1. A sleep-focused essential-oils blend made with chamomile, sage, and lavender to help soothe anxiety and reduce stress before bedtime and promote prolonged sleep.
Promising review: "I saw this product recommended on TikTok and am so glad I came across it! I am new to the essential oils world, but this scent is so calming and peaceful." —Julie Durlyea
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
Psst — if you don't have a diffuser, you can get a popular, well-reviewed essential-oil diffuser on Amazon for $14.99.
2. A contoured sleep mask designed to alleviate pressure from your eyes and plunge you into total delicious darkness all night long, while staying put on your head without any Velcro snagging in your hair in the middle of the night.
Promising review: "I don’t require complete darkness when I sleep, so I hadn’t thought I’d ever want a sleep mask. Then 2020 happened! The pandemic and its associated anxiety have messed up my sleep in a major way. I often get to sleep just fine but wake up later unable to get back to sleep. I’ve decreased caffeine, established a regular bedtime, avoided screens hours before bed, and tried melatonin. I guess it’s all mental for me, but when I wake up like that, heart racing and sweaty, and I can’t see anything — no clocks or moonlight, no dozing form of my beloved next to me, no cat demon staring at the foot of the bed — I tend to settle down easier. It’s like wearing the mask reminds me I’m supposed to shut my eyes and sleep. And I usually do, right until the alarm goes off. I like the molded cups around the eyes. A flat mask would make me feel like I’m rubbing off all my eye cream and lash serum through the night. I have not washed this mask yet, but I think it’ll hold up just fine gently hand washing it. The adjustable band is soft and doesn’t slip out of place. If you’re on the fence about trying a sleep mask, you might as well get a really nice one! Give this a try, especially if you have anxiety like I described." —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three colors).
3. A set of melatonin sleep patches made with an all-natural blend of melatonin, magnesium, and valerian root to help you gently nod off into dreamland without any of the groggy side effects that come with sleeping pills.
Promising review: "I initially found this patch from people doing TikTok videos and was skeptical. I have to say that they have really been working after using for just two days. I washed my wrist, let it dry, and then applied the patch about an hour before bed. I did not lie awake for an extended amount of time like I usually do nor have I gotten up in the middle of night, which is pretty common as well. Nothing works for everyone however, if you struggle with getting to sleep and/or staying asleep these are well worth a try. Working for me." —CC Renae
Get a 28-pack from Amazon for $34.99.
4. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect that can help you relax, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep.
5. A set of silicone anti-snoring nose vents to dilate your nostrils and help promote healthy air flow, so you won't wake yourself (or other people!) up with your snoring.
Each set comes with four reusable vents in different sizes, so you can find one that perfectly fits your nose.
Promising review: "I've had a snoring issue for several years and now with the coronavirus it's been harder on my girlfriend because it's no longer just a weekend thing because we sheltered together. This has made a HUGE difference not only for her but for me and my energy level. I immediately slept through the night. They do take a little getting used but they are very worth it. Buy with confidence." —Philip M
Get a set of four from Amazon for $21.99.
6. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of your choice in a comfy headband, so you can enjoy the calm of it all night long.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness! Where has this been all my life?? Just a couple of days ago I was trying to sleep with earbuds in. I would wake up every time I moved because they were hard and hurt my ears. But THESE wireless headphones are the best! I can turn over in bed freely and it doesn't wake me up. I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Now I can play sleep videos which help drone me to sleep and keep me asleep. The only drawback is that while I love the material it can be a little warm in the middle of the night. I LOVE THEM!!" —Godsinger
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
7. Or a set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have nearly 220,000 popular reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are truly an excellent dupe for more expensive "sleep" earbuds. These are comfortable, have 14 hours of charge, and will get the job done just as effectively without the bajillion dollar price tag.
Aside from sleeping, the earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so you can use them during workouts or runs, and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone. Psst — these are also a great option for going outside in a mask, since they don't have wires that'll get tangled in the mask straps.
Promising review: "I have problems with insomnia including those nasty earworms (having a song stuck in your head). I am able to fall back asleep with the right earbud in while listening to rain/thunder from an app. The sound quality is pretty amazing for these buds." —Nander
Get it from Amazon $29.99+ (available in five colors).
8. A dream balm made with calming herbs and essential oils like lavender, chamomile, mugwort, and valerian to help you nod off to dreamland and actually *stay* there.
Woodland Herbal is an Ohio-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in skincare, salves, and tea blends.
Promising review: "I tried it last night and I haven’t slept this hard in a long time. The smell alone is soothing when you put it on your temples as you drift off to sleep. I usually toss and turn but I slept like a rock." —Emily Irvin
Get it from Woodland Herbal on Etsy for $15.
9. A plush memory foam mattress topper to quickly transform any old spring mattress into an oasis — this helps distribute your weight on your mattress more evenly to reduce pressure on your joints, so you're less likely to toss and turn.
Promising review: "This thing has changed my sleep for the better. My mattress has always been kind of uncomfortable with painful springs, but I just put up with it. Since switching to working nights and sleeping during the day, I wake up more easily and needed something to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. This topper is so nice! It doesn’t feel cool to the touch, I just don’t overheat while I sleep. It’s so soft I can fall asleep without a pillow. I love it!" —Avery Basford
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in 2- or 3-inch depth and in eight standard bed sizes).
10. An affordable sunrise alarm clock that's a total game-changer for heavy sleepers or people who sleep in pitch black rooms, which make it all too tempting to slam "snooze" in the morning. This gradually lights up the room in the minutes leading up to your alarm, so your eyes are already adjusted to the light and significantly less groggy when it's time to get yourself up and at 'em.
Promising review: "I haven’t had an alarm clock in my bedroom for over four years, because I can’t stand how bright the lights are. I was hesitant to buy another alarm clock, but wanted to give the sunrise feature a try. I love it! Firstly, I’m glad I didn’t pay for the expensive version, because this is exactly what I wanted. I can completely dim the clock’s light while I sleep, so I’m not bothered by the illuminated clock at night. I then set the sunrise feature to begin 30 minutes before wakeup, and set the alarm to the bird chirping/nature sounds. It has completely changed the way I sleep and wake up and begin the day. The sunrise feature slowly wakes me up, and the nature sounds for the alarm are soothing and pleasant instead of the usual jarring blare of an alarm clock. Very happy with this purchase! Would recommend." —Tara
Get it from Amazon for $39.97.
11. Or a Hatch Restore sound machine that works overtime as a touch-controlled smart light, bedtime reading light, sunrise alarm clock, and — most importantly for the insomnia-prone out there — a wind-down light that helps you get into a healthier sleep routine at night.
Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.
Get it from Hatch for $129.99.
12. A cooling weighted blanket made with natural glass beads on the inside for weighted pressure, which may help relax your body and make those "!!!" parts of your a little more "..." when you're trying to fall and stay asleep.
Promising review: "I’ve always had trouble sleeping ever since I can remember. I move around a lot, twist and turn and take sometimes HOURS to fall asleep — even then my sleep tended to be very poor. I would find that putting multiple blankets or pillows would help, because of the weight, so I decided to give this product a try. Ever since I started to use this blanket I’ve had a lot less trouble falling asleep and STAYING asleep until I need to wake up for work. This definitely helps with anxiety and insomnia issues; I guess it makes me feel secure/safer. It’s definitely worth it!!" —Natalie Galindo
Get it from Amazon for $31.90+ (available in nine varied sizes and weights).
13. Or a super plush faux fur weighted blanket designed with tempered glass beads to give you the kind of deep pressure that may help reduce anxiety and restless sleeping, giving you an extra *bonk* to your consciousness you want to fall asleep quickly and deeply.
Comma Home is an eco-friendly home goods company that works with small organizations in all 50 states to donate 10% of sales to help the homeless.
Promising review: "I'm about to order my third one for a loved one. These blankets are the real deal, my son and I both suffer from anxiety and coming home to this bad boy after work and relaxing has never been easier or more restful. I cannot recommend enough worth every penny and the faux fur is glorious!" —Meagan B.
Get it from Comma Home for $169 (available in two weights and two colors).
14. A compact light therapy lamp that thousands of reviewers swear by — this UV-free bb is helpful not just for people who need a little more light in their lives in the winter, but to help restore your natural circadian rhythms when the early darkness throws you off at night.
Promising review: "I have had chronic insomnia ever since I worked the graveyard shift at an old job and nothing helped — medication, meditation, exercise, etc, but this light has helped to reset my circadian rhythm and I'm finally getting to sleep quickly!! It does make me feel tired after using it for a short time but my physician has recommended I try using it longer than 30 minutes." —Jessica Fugate
Shipping: Usually ships within 9 days; non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
15. A soft, breathable bamboo nightgown to prevent you from overheating at night and waking yourself up when your bed feels like a sauna.
Promising review: "So look...we get to a certain stage in life where sleeping isn't always easy, no matter how tired we are. We are hot and sweaty, every thing is itchy, we have insomnia...I was looking for a just right nightgown and I've finally found it! This gown is INCREDIBLE! A relaxed fit but not over size arm holes that would expose you, long enough that you could actually answer the door or wear to the pool, etc ... and SO SO SOFT! The bamboo helps keep you cool and comfortable all night long. For sure my new favorite and I'll need a long sleeve one for winter." —Myranda Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $15.39+ (available in women's sizes S-4X and 37 colors).
16. Dr. Teal's Melatonin Sleep Soak, a relaxing Epsom salt formulated with lavender, chamomile, and melatonin you can pour in with running bath water and soak yourself in to help alleviate muscle tension before bedtime.
17. An insulated soundproofing strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door, giving you some peace and quiet and bedtime and making it *much* less likely that you'll hear people rooting around the Cheez-Its box in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
Psst — this insulated strip also stops air conditioning and heat from escaping out of the crack under the door, saving energy and money!
Promising review: "Product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation, I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out, until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Revueltas
Get it from Amazon for $8.57 (available in two colors).
18. A set of bed bands to lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so you can finally get the peaceful, untangled sleep you deserve every night.
Promising review: "OMG my wife and I LOVE these clips to hold the bedsheet together in our Cal King mattress. Seriously enjoying not having to constantly fix the sheets and trying to avoid the uncovered areas in the middle of the night because I'm too tired to fix them. So far, so good without any bedsheets tears. Great quality, strong elastic bands, sturdy clips that remind of those stylish suspenders back in the day, and easy installation. Can easily place these things while the bed is set in place. Highly recommended product if you have a King or Cal King-sized bed with sheets that keep coming undone." —Aku
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99.
19. A knee pillow designed to help with better spinal alignment for people with back, hip, knee, or sciatica pain that will make any notorious side sleeper go "Ooohhh" when they try it for the first time.
It even comes with an adjustable strap if you're someone who tosses and turns in their sleep (or if you're using it to recover from an injury that may lead to limited mobility). Psst — a lot of pregnant reviewers and reviewers with arthritis pain and cartilage pain swore by this, too!
Promising review: "Goodbye side-sleeper back pain! I love this knee pillow. It is small and compact so it is not cumbersome like trying to place a regular pillow between the knees. The shape of the pillow allows for perfect placement between knees or upwards toward the thigh area. It does help back pain that is caused by the back not being aligned for side sleepers. The cover is removable for washing." —J. Gotsch
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
20. A customizable herbal sleep pillow that may help soothe your nerves before bed and give you a calmer, more restful sleep. (As much as we all love having Liz Lemon-esque nightmares about beloved cheese snack mascots.)
La Aquarelle is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in plant-dyed sleep masks, eye pillows, and herbal sachets.
Promising review: "The scent is beautiful, strong but pleasant! It’s small enough to keep at the side of my pillow for an added sleep aid. I love it, thank you!" —Hannah Doolan
Get it from La Aquarelle on Etsy for $12.83+ (available in five scents).
21. A set of super comfy wax ear plugs that mold to the shape of your ear like putty and stay locked in place all night, helping block out noises in and around your home.
TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs. You can read my full review of Macks ear plugs for more deets!
Promising review: "I adjusted to my BF's sleep schedule when I moved in to quarantine with him, but his housemates stay up later. I found out that I'm incapable of falling asleep if I can make out language: words or parts of words of what someone's saying. Doesn't matter if they're being reasonably quiet, the door is so thin I can't stand it. I swear when I put these in it's like I can only hear my own body." —Lin
Get a pack of six pairs from Amazon for $3.96.
22. Or a set of reusable silicone ear plugs you can spin as you insert it into your ear to help block out noise.
One of the pairs even comes with a string connecting them, so you're less likely to lose them!
Promising review: "The best earplugs I have ever owned. I’ve worn earplugs for years as my room in my house is in the middle of everything. Add four adults and two kids under 4 and it’s a very loud house. I’ve tried just about every earplug, and I have the same problem: trouble getting them in, and them always falling out. These earplugs solve all my issues with earplugs and I’ve never been happier. So easy to use, just pull your ear up and twist it in. It feels so secure, no fumbling with rolling the ends and holding it in place. Nice snug fit that’s comfortable. I put them in at night, and I wake up when I want, no 5:30 a.m. screaming matches and toys being thrown downstairs to wake me. If I were awake, I could hear commotion but it sounds very distant. Best part: they’re washable and reusable. No more scattered earplugs around. I have very small ears and these are comfortable. Best money I’ve spent." —Ofbengal
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.79.
23. A caffeine-free herbal Sweet Dreams tea designed to promote better sleep with a mixture of chamomile rose blossoms and mint herbs, which have calming as heck properties.
Promising review: "I tried this tea after a friend suggested chamomile tea for easing anxiety, a big problem for me during the current COVID crisis. This tea is delicious with a little squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of honey and in combination with my Coyote Oldman CDs, it really has helped me be less anxious. I just ordered more so I have a good supply on hand." —Country Artist
Get six boxes with 20 teabags each from Amazon for $16.63.
24. A calming lavender spray for linens and pillows to make your whole bed smell like you're floating above a lavender field and help relax you into sleep.
Promising review: "I ordered this to be shipped to my daughter who is a medical assistant in Florida. With the coronavirus on the forefront and her being on the frontline, she struggles with getting to sleep easily at night. The spray arrived quickly and she loves it! It helps her to fall asleep! Thank you so much!" —Lorena Beal
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
25. Or a lavender reed diffuser that'll emit a soothing lavender fragrance known to promote relaxation and calm — this can also give you more peace of mind than a candle or electronic diffuser, since you won't have to worry about open flames or electronics working all night.
Blk+Grn is a sustainable, Black-owned artisan marketplace established in 2017 featuring all-natural, environmentally friendly Black-owned products across all categories, from home to beauty to groceries to menstrual care.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure how well this product would work when I unboxed, but I've been pleasantly surprised! The reeds diffuse the scent of lavender and it creates a gentle fragrance throughout my apartment. I already know I'll be re-purchasing when this bottle runs out." —Grace L.
Get it from Blk+Grn for $20.
26. A set of light-dimming stickers you can stick on all the LED lights blasting their glow like tiny UFOs in your room at night. They come in a pack of all different sizes, so you can find the perfect ones to match your gizmos and finally get the restful sleep you deserve every night.
Promising review: "I have wicked insomnia because of chronic medical issues, so I do everything I can sleep, hygiene-wise, in hopes of actually sleeping. We live in a studio and between the microwave, water cooler, air con, and handheld vacuum, there was a LOT of bright blue light keeping me up. Spent two minutes stickering the hell out of everything and it's PERFECT. These are a must have for me, for life." —Erica Rose
Get a set from Amazon for $4.99.
27. A white noise machine that makes a constant pfshhhhhh sound or nature sounds all night, helping mask outside noises while you're trying to conk out and/or your neighbor watching The Office at 3 a.m.
This compact machine has six noise modes: White Noise, Thunder, Ocean, Rain, Summer Night, and Brook. You can either have it make the noise continuously until you shut it off, or designate it to make noise for 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Promising review: "I've always struggled with sleeping, but the stress of 2020 was definitely making it worse. It was to the point where I was just waiting patiently for the the next day to start like Kenneth Parcell. The first night I used the sound machine, a switch flipped. I fell asleep almost instantly, and I stayed asleep. I personally find the ocean setting the most pleasant. You can adjust the volume to suit your needs and the timer would be helpful for those who work nights while their spouses/significant others work days (or just so it's not on for hours). I'm currently running it on batteries, and haven't had an issue with power draining. Is this white machine solving all of my issues around stress? No. That would take a miracle. But, sleep is important. Not only does it help to reduce your stress, but it keeps your health on track. This noise machine helped me tremendously and I'm feeling much more rested." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $21.90.
28. Or a sleep therapy sound machine with seamless looping sounds created specifically to promote better sleep. It also comes equipped with a USB port to charge your phone and other devices, so you can make the most of the space on your bedside table.
The loops on this machine include White Noise, Fan, Ocean, Rain, Stream and Summer Night, which you can set with a 15, 30, or 60-minute auto off timer. It's also super lightweight and compact if you're on the move!
Promising review: "I love this product! I am a night shift registered nurse working in the ICU and since COVID happened I have had trouble sleeping. Since I started using the Wave sound machine I now fall asleep quickly and able to stay asleep peacefully. The sounds are soothing and help block out the daytime noises!" —Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
29. An acupressure mat and pillow set to help relax tension and relieve stress at the end of a long day of being a human. The mat and pillow are equipped with over 7,000 (!!) acupressure points, which help release tight muscles. It's a little bit jarring when you first lay on them, but you should feel results within 10 to 30 minutes of laying on the mat, and feel perfectly primed for a good night's rest.
Promising review: "I rarely take a moment to write a review but I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this mat. The kitchen table quarantine desk, toddler miming, and stress of a pandemic has wreaked havoc on my body. Everything the other reviews say is true. The spikes are pointy. It will hurt at first. I put in some music and reached into it and it was glorious. I plan to use it daily before bed for meditation and relaxation." —Sarah Kovit
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 14 colors).
30. A set of sleep aid light bulbs designed to block the blue light that tricks your brain into staying awake — instead they release a gentle amber light that's still bright enough to read and see around the room with, but not so bright that your eyes are like, "Well, it's dawn o'clock somewhere!!"
Promising review: "I’m really happy with these blue-light-blocking light bulbs! We have a baby coming in three weeks, so I put one in the nursery, and one in our bedroom, so feedings can be relaxing for him, but still possible for me! I’ve been reading by the bedroom one every night, and I swear it’s helped my third trimester insomnia. It’s gives off a really warm, almost amber light that I feel like lets my husband sleep soundly, but is plenty bright for me. Great purchase!" —Eddie
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
31. A full body pillow that yes, was initially designed for pregnancy, but is so versatile and handy that anyone can make good use of it. The wrap around design is excellent for back, leg, and hip support, so once you find a comfortable position at night, you're much more likely to *stay* in it.
Psst — it's even detachable to convert into a reading station (or create a hole for your arm if you're a side sleeper!).
Promising review: "I’ve been eyeballing these types of pillows for a long time but was always discouraged by the steep prices. Not pregnant, but have always had to sleep with multiple pillows around me to support my back and legs otherwise I toss and turn all night long. Ever since COVID began, my sleep has been worse than ever and I’ve been trying to find new ways to just try and get better sleep, so I decided to finally bite the bullet and order one of these pillows. After doing a bunch of research and going through the ratings/reviews, I decided to go with this pillow and now I only wish I’d ordered it sooner! I was originally skeptical about the zipper feature where you can remove one side of the pillow but it’s actually a pretty awesome idea — gives me space for my arm when sleeping on my side, without restricting my circulation. It’s nice and firm which I love because I feel that it provides more support that way. It also makes sleeping on my back more bearable because the two sides provide adequate support. The cover that it came with is like a jersey material and was nice and soft after I ran it through a wash cycle. The case was also extremely easy to remove and re-apply. This pillow has also been so convenient for when I’m doing my online classes in bed — I fold one side over my lap and place my laptop on it." —Ashley M.
Get it from Amazon for $42.95 (available in six colors).
32. A Tuft & Needle adaptive foam mattress to provide full body pressure relief by supporting your body's most vulnerable pressure points and muscles like your neck, shoulders, hips, and knees *without* that "sinking into the mattress" feeling. It's also designed to be heat-wicking and breathable, so you won't wake up from overheating in the middle of the night.
It also has a "localized bounce," meaning you're less likely to disturb your partner if you share a bed — they won't feel the shift nearly as much. Arguably the most convenient thing about this, though, is that it ships in a compact box straight to your door — once you open it, you just have to wait 72 hours for it to fully expand, and voila! Plus, if you don't like it, you have a 100-day sleep trial to return it (*plus* a 10-year warranty to boot).
Promising review: "When you’re tall and big, you just don’t take much pleasure out of mattress shopping. Millions of promises re: this bed will be the best that you’ve ever had and maybe for two to three months, it’s good. After that, you start to see a degradation in your sleep quality and your comfort. It’s been almost three years since I first purchased this Tuft & Needle Twin XL (two for one king size bed) and I love this mattress. The shape hasn’t changed. The support hasn’t changed. The comfort is still there. I am a side sleeper. Since COVID, I have spent a few days a week working from my bed and still — nothing has changed in the way of shape, support, or comfort. For a week, I was in bed 20 hours a day while recovering from a back injury. I feel like the comfort and support aspect aided in my recovery period. When and if I have to replace this, I will go with Tuft & Needle again. It’s the first mattress that lived up to all of its promises." —Kristina
Get it from Amazon for $548.25+ (available in six sizes).
33. The Nocturnal Journal, a workbook filled with creative, thoughtful prompts and illustrations designed to help night owls get to the bottom of whatever it is keeping them up.
Promising review: "Lee Crutchley's book is the literary answer for insomnia. This is the perfect book to keep by your bedside when counting sheep just isn't doing the trick to send you off to dreamland. Open The Nocturnal Journal to any page and let your imagination run wild. It's a good idea to keep a pencil or pen handy to answer the questions posed on some pages. Exploring some of the thoughts that are keeping you awake will definitely help you calm them down, answer them, or help put them to bed so sleep will come more easily." —Dee Long
Get it from Amazon for $16.
34. A neuropathy cream made with castor oil, valerian root, peppermint, and hemp flower that may help anyone whose sleep gets interrupted by chronic pain.
Body Essentials Herbal Care is a Colorado-based, woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2015 that specializes in zero waste hair and skincare.
Promising review: "I will always buy this for my dad. He's diabetic, has advanced neuropathy in his feet and ankles, worked 40+ years as a meat cutter on a cemented floor, and has Charko (the calcification of veins, with limited ankle joint rotation). I rub this AMAZING cream onto his feet before bed every night. If I don't he wakes up in pain and his feet/ankle joints are stiff. This cream is a godsend." —uenaverin160
Get it from Body Essentials Herbal Care on Etsy for $25 (psst — this item ships for free!).
35. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses to help defend your eyeballs against the strain of your transition from phone to laptop to television to laptop to phone, aka your eyes' new itinerary. These can also promote better sleep by blocking blue light from your screen at night, which generally signals to your eyes that it's daytime (and makes them want to be awake at a time that is, well, deeply inconvenient for you).
Promising review: "I bought these because I am a teacher and I have to spend more time in front of the computer because of COVID-19 and distance learning. I had found that with the increased screen time, my eyes were hurting more, were becoming difficult to focus and the exposure to harsh light right before bed was affecting my sleep cycle. Not anymore. These glasses take the edge off and I can sleep normally. If I'm in front of my computer now, I'm wearing these blue blockers. Also, they look great. They also help when driving during midday sun." —Alec Z.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.98.
36. A set of blackout curtains if you want to prolong the ~darkness~ — these will block out sunlight (and help reduce noise!) to your bedroom, and come in so many different colors and sizes that you're bound to find one to match your setup.
Promising review: "These curtains are a god send. I'm up at 5 every morning until the virus hit. Now I know the pain of waking up to the sun in my face. These curtains blocked all the light...all of it. I get to be a bum till whatever time I want now. They're nice and thick too so there good for keeping the heat of the day out while the AC does its thing. Good buy." —Justin
Get it from Amazon for $22.97+ (available in seven sizes and 22 colors).
When your sleep mask is so good you stay asleep for 100 years:
