13 Products For Anyone Who Is Just Really Damn Tired

Just attach an IV of caffeine straight into my veins.

I am so tired. All the time.

CBS

But like, actually. There are days I struggle to keep my thoughts straight — this adulting gig is not easy.

Fortunately, there are things out there that can make getting through the day easier. Here are 13 things for the permanently exhausted human.

1. This memory foam travel pillow, which will prop your head up when you inevitably fall asleep on the commute home.

Amazon

My husband literally brings a travel pillow with him to and from work, every day. I make fun of him, but he sure does look comfortable. This pillow might just convince me to cross over to the dark (read: dorky) side. Made of dense memory foam, it moulds to the shape your head, in whichever angle you choose to place it — infinitely more comfortable than inflatable or bean bag models.

Buy for $22.09 from Amazon Australia.

2. Otherwise, this hooded travel neck pillow that wonderfully removes the need for a sleep mask, which always slips off your face anyway.

Cotton On

Let's be frank — this looks kinda ridiculous and even that is an understatement. But I'm completely willing to bet I would get a decent nap in on the way to work with this around my neck. This pillow comes in six different prints (hello, tropical leaf pattern!), but I fancy this one-fits-all-occasions, grey marle style.

Buy for $29.99 from Cotton On.

3. This Lush Sleepy lotion, to help lull you to sleep if the cause of your exhaustion is a lack of zzz's

This is the sleep aid every tired human needs in the life and I will not rest until you all experience this magical lotion. It's this heavenly mix of oatmeal, lavender oil, organic cocoa butter and a bunch of other natural goodies. Plus, it smells divine. You will never sleep better than getting out of the shower, lathering this on, then jumping under the covers.

Plus, Lush only purchases from suppliers that don't test on animals, so you'll feel better bulk buying this when you inevitably become addicted.

4. This Garnier Aqua Face Mask that will give you the feeling of a splash of water, without it going down your front.

Amazon

We love face masks here at BuzzFeed Oz. You can catch us on any given Friday, masks on, typing away at our desk. Few things make you feel more refreshed and with such little effort. This particular face mask from Garnier is infused with ultra-hydrating pomegranate and glycerin — pop on for 10 minutes, then voila! Perky and supple skin.

Buy for $2 (you best buy in bulk) from Amazon Australia.

5. This Joco reusable glass coffee cup, because at this point, nothing but bean juice will keep you going until bedtime.

I own a Joco cup — I love it so much I included it in this round-up of my favourite things last year. They're 100% plastic-free, and made of non-toxic, non-porous and anti-bacterial glass and silicone. They come in every colour of the rainbow — though I quite fancy this army green one.

Buy a 355ml cup for $29.95 from Amazon Australia.

6. This French press, because you're trying to not give so much of your income to your local barista this year, but still need the caffeine.

Amazon

I've only recently become a coffee addict and already the damage to my bank account is eye-watering. This beauty of a device will extract aromatic oils and subtle flavours — unlike machines that soak it all up in their paper filters. With nothing but coarsely ground coffee, hot water and four minutes, you can up your caffeine intake once you feel the effects of the afternoon slump.

Buy for $41.97 from Amazon Australia.

7. This bath pillow, because at the end of the day, you'll no doubt want to rest your head and the edge of a hard tub does not a cushion make.

Amazon

I 100% percent prefer showers because lying in a bath is not as comfortable as movies lead you to believe – my neck can never find a comfortable position. This bath pillow would allow me my much desired rest, thanks to an ergonomic design to support my neck and back. It's easy to wipe down, is waterproof and non-porous.

Buy for $72.20 from Amazon Australia.

8. This Mario Badescu facial spray, which will give tight, dry and tired skin that little bit of pep needed to get through the 3 p.m. slump.

Cult beauty favourite Mario Badescu is responsible for refreshed faces all over, with this facial spray you really ought to have sitting on your desk. Formulated with rose, thyme and gardenia, it can be used to hydrate skin before or after makeup — but we suggest you use it to calm your senses and give you a pep whenever the occasion calls for it.

9. These room darkening curtains, which will shield your tired eyes from the aggressive sun come the A.M.

Ikea

Now that it's summer and the sun is rising much earlier, it can be hard to get quality hours of sleep. These blockout curtains from Ikea keep pesky sunlight beams from your face for as long as necessary and can be used on any curtain rod — whether it be by hanging from rolling hooks or threading the rod through hidden tabs. Each curtain is 250cm long and 145cm wide.

Buy a set of two for $69 from Ikea.

10. This queen-sized linen sheet set, because a sweaty sleep will inevitably leave you feeling like a zombie in the morning.

Target

If you're not sleeping in linen sheets yet, you're missing out. The natural, temperature-regulating properties of the fabric keep you cool in summer and warm in colder months. Choose from flax or charcoal hues — though personally, I love how effortlessly elegant the latter is.

11. This silk sleep mask, which will not only make sleeping at night easier, but reduce the signs of the exhaustion you feel from your face.

Amazon

My daughter gets her best sleep with a sleep mask on — she's four years old and already knows that silk is ~luxury~. This particular silk sleep mask has copper-infused ions woven through the inner fabric — though initially sceptical of its claims to smooth wrinkles, reviewers report less puffy eyes in the morning, that it is extremely comfortable to wear and completely blocks out the light. A win either way.

Buy for $39.90 from Amazon Australia.

12. This rechargeable, hand held deep tissue massager, because your tired muscles deserve some love and attention.

Amazon

My idea of luxury are massages. Like, keep your fancy chocolates, your champagne, first class plane tickets (actually, I wouldn't mind those) — just soothe me of my many aches and pains. This is the number one bestselling electric massager on Amazon — it features a powerful motor that can produce up to 3600 pulses per minute, so you can trust it to loosen the tightest of knots. It comes with five different head attachments, so it is effective wherever you choose to use it.

Buy for $45.99 from Amazon Australia.

13. And finally, this memory foam pillow with cooling gel, so you're never overheated in the night and get your eight hours (or seven, let's not be too ambitious).

Amazon

This is the number one best-selling in throw pillow inserts on Amazon. Designed to retain its shape for months on end, this pillow will keep your neck aligned with their spine all night long. Most exciting? The cooling gel pads keep heads and necks cool whilst you sleep — perfect for the Aussie summer.

Buy for $59.90 from Amazon Australia.

It me.
