Promising review: "My husband likes to leave the TV on all night, the glare is too much for me.This is the first sleep mask I have been able to wear all night, it blocks the light from the TV completely, and is very comfortable. It also blocks the sunlight in the morning should I want to sleep late. Previous masks I have tried have not been nearly as good. The eye cups do not press on my eyes, and the nose cutout is perfect. You can adjust the velcro strap to your liking for a perfect fit. Very pleased with this product and the quality, also the reasonable price." —SWiandt

Get it from Anthropologie for $34 (available in grey and pink; backordered to March 21st).
Promising review: "Personally, I have never been an individual who sleeps with a mask! This purchase though was a game changer for me. I sleep on my side for the most part and it seems to never fail me — It’s also incredibly comfortable and doesn’t feel awkward. I never understood the benefits of something like this before either but I can’t live without it anymore! I own a light pink one and got my mom the black one for Christmas :)" —Syd3

Promising review: "Just received these headphones, used them last night, and I am quite pleased -- pleased with the sound, pleased with the comfort. I bought a pair for my husband as well, as he listens to podcasts to drift off to sleep, I listen to music and meditations all thru the night, and comfort is extremely important. These are. They are lightweight, didn't know I had them on, and the sound is clear and clean without noise or interference. I look forward to using them. They're perfect for our needs. Can't ask for more! Thank you." —Marilyn

Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in sizes narrow twin–California king, both standard and deluxe).
Promising review: "Well this exactly what I was looking for. I bought a platform bed with headboard, footboard, and side rails. Not too long after we bought it the center support broke and slate started to crack and we kept dipping into the middle. Looked for 'heavy duty bed frame' and that’s exactly what this is. The 2” recessed edges make it so it fits inside of the side rails. It took about 10 minutes to set up, no tool required and was quiet, not a squeak at night. We are newlyweds, so we have really put it to the squeak test and it’s quiet as be. Extremely happy with our purchase. These are probably going to go in all our rooms because I know it will be no problem to get years' of use out of these." —Ryan Hughes

Get it from Amazon for $21.96 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "This thing is amazing! It's very subdued with the cover on. If you take the cover off, woah! It's like a full-on professional laser light show. My wife and I laid in bed listening to music and watching the show until we fell asleep. I slept better than I have in a long time, probably because I was so relaxed when I went to sleep. Great for adults, and probably kids too." —SpaceManSpiff
Get two panels from Amazon for $24.95 (available in three sizes and 20 colors).
Promising review: "Best blackout curtains ever for the price. I've shopped all over and these are truly what they are advertised. I didn't think I would need blackouts, but I work nights and sleep till noon and these are absolutely perfect. The color is a rich navy which are difficult to find in store. Trust me when I say, I went everywhere: Lowes, Home Depot & Home Goods, Tuesday morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target. No place had them in this color for this price. I love, love, love, Amazon Prime because I wasn't sure if these were going to work out, but they are above and beyond what I expected." —Josie Holdridge
Get them from Amazon for $59.99 each (also available in king-size).
Promising review: "Finally, I’ve found the perfect pillow! Supportive and cool. I have spent so many years and so much money trying every type of pillow. I am a side sleeper who desires a great deal of support. I even tried expensive memory foam pillows, but they just condensed, providing no support. They also became very warm. I was constantly rearranging and flipping my pillow every which way. Because this pillow has pieces of memory foam, instead of a solid piece, it does not condense and it is airy, providing air flow, keeping it cool. In addition, included with the pillow is a bag of additional filling. Therefore, this pillow is customizable. Add more, take some out. You decide. Personally, I filled mine up making it very big and firm. Now I sleep through the night, cool and comfortably. Finally." —Jujubees
One of our food writers talked to an MD who specializes in Ayurveda before trying moon milk for herself (her brew is pictured above!). Check out her first-hand experience with moon milk — spoiler alert, it *did* make her sleepy — for all the deets!
Get a pre-made mix perfect for moon milk (with turmeric, coconut milk powder, cinnamon, ashwaghanda, ginger, and more already in it) from Amazon for $21.99.
Promising review: "Love this Tur Latte Golden Milk mix! I'd been making my own from scratch every night and this is so much easier and tastes the same! Originally got this to just take on a trip but now will use this all the time as it's so much easier and there's no mess! I mix it with coconut milk and it's so yummy. If you use too much it tends to be a bit strong so don't overdo. It does help with sleep and I seem to have more energy! Highly recommend!" —J. M. Gray
Was this originally designed for pregnant women? Yes. Will everyone feel the benefits? Also yes. It also has a removable cover you can toss right in the wash for easy cleaning!
Get it from Amazon for $53.79+ (available in four sizes and five colors).
Promising review: "This pillow saved me! I was not sleeping AT ALL. Tossing, turning couldn't get comfortable. I am not pregnant, I just needed additional support for my back which this provides and has helped ease hip and leg aches. It also keeps me in one spot so I don't wake myself up constantly moving around, but allows me to easily maneuver if I need too and I fall right back to sleep. My dogs love it too. I will often find them snuggled up in the middle of it under the blanket. Have no issue with the fluff. I throw it in the dryer every other time I wash the cover and flip it over often sleeping on both sides." —Karen
Remember that thing you did in third grade? You know how you stayed up half the night last week thinking about it? That's over now.
Get it from Amazon for $11.46.
Promising review: "Although I usually have no trouble falling asleep at night, lately I've found myself staying awake later -- sometimes anxious about all of the things I have to do the next day, and sometimes just with too many thoughts occupying my head. I like using this journal to learn more about myself and what my thoughts actually mean. I've found that some of my most cyclical and reoccurring thoughts are outlining fears I've been too hesitant to confront, and this journal is helping me to recalibrate them into more helpful thoughts." —Trevor Burbank
It also has a USB port built into the base for all your charging needs.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS LIGHT!!! It's fairly sturdy, especially for the price, and the variable light colors are THE BEST!! Being able to use yellow light at night to help with getting to sleep while I'm reading, then change to blue light during the day with just a couple of taps, is awesome. The variable light level control is super easy and convenient, and there are a ton of ways to reposition the light to meet your needs. As someone who prefers clean lines/contemporary design, I also love how it looks on my nightstand." —Shauna B.
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes twin–oversized king and 12 colors and styles).
Promising review: "I have insomnia and this is exactly what the packaging says: 'an adult security blanket.' It keeps you warm without getting too hot and it’s light and fluffy."—Alby Yasmeen Sumague
Get it from Muslin Comfort for $149.99+ (available in sizes oversized twin–oversized king and seven colors).
Promising review: "I have to admit, I was skeptical that this blanket would be enough to keep us warm at night, in the winter...and when I first saw it/held it, I was even more doubtful. But after one night it was clear that even though it feels light, this blanket is COZY! I haven’t woken up too hot or too cold since it arrived. I love how soft and luxurious it is. Absolutely worth every penny!" —Muslin Comfort Reviewer

Promising review: "I suffer from bad sciatica. I asked my doctor about a pillow, and he said not to get it because it may or may not help and he didn't want me to waste my money. Well after a couple of weeks I got desperate. I read all these reviews and ordered the cushion with the best ratings (within my budget). I was disappointed. My knees/ legs were barely apart. They were pretty much still touching. I saved the packaging so I could send it back. That night I tried it again just to give it a fair shot. THAT NIGHT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT I SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT IN SIX WEEKS!!! and it wasn't a fluke. A week later and I'm still sleeping through the night. My hips are no longer sore in the morning and it's not excruciating pain when I sit up in the morning. Don't get me wrong, I am still in pain especially when bending or stooping but the all-day 'just for no reason' pain has gotten a lot better. I have no idea how but this thing works. I won't even lay on the couch without it now." —Stacey Johnson
