Sorry, I can't hear you over all this great sleep I'm having.
Promising review: "I have now had the Hatch Baby Rest Night Light for about six months. We started using it when we decided to sleep train our toddler. It works perfectly and is really easy to use and set up. I really like the app; I was easily able to customize everything for when he sleeps, wakes, and his nap time. For his night light, I used a soft amber color and in the morning I have it switch to green when he should be waking up. I think he is just now starting to grasp the concept of the colors, but I can see it being a lot more helpful in the near future. I saw some reviews stating that the white noise was louder than they had wanted it to be, but I did not find that to be the case with me. You can easily control the volume of the sound and the brightness of the light with multiple colors." —Pete

Promising review: "Imagine being trapped under a 15-pound bag of beans in a box half your size somewhere, but instead of being trapped you're comfortably cocooned and the bag of beans is actually just a blanket and you're in a bed that's the perfect size. Your initial thought of a 15-pound blanket is terrifying and confusing, but once it's on, you slip into absolute bliss. This blanket gives a sense of comfortability and security, no one with zero muscle tone will be able to disturb the deep slumber you will fall into while this blanket is on you. Great for falling asleep and putting aside the worries and concerns about the monsters under your bed trying to get you, because we all know they give up at the slightest inconvenience. Also it is really a great relaxation gift for others!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I always had sleeping problems. Sometimes it took a few hours for me to fall into asleep. While being kept awake, it lured me to play my smartphone, which made it more difficult to sleep. It messed up my daily life for quite a while. After getting this magic blanket, it turns into a new life for me. I don't know how soon I fall asleep, but I know it's very fast, because I never get a chance to play my phone anymore. And that's not all. Without this blanket, I usually would wake up for once or twice a night. With this blanket, I can keep in my sweet dream until being waken up by my alarm in the next day morning. This is really an amazing blanket for those who have sleeping problem. I'm happy to have this blanket. I've strongly recommended it to a few friends of mine. Some of them bought already and have the same experiences as mine." —amzer

Promising review: "I CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS THING!!!
I have terrible migraines, and the pressure that this puts on my head, eyes is so relaxing. I use it to sleep all the time, even when I don't have a migraine. I love the weighted feel of it and the fact that I can choose which of the two fabrics I want against my face. There is also a cool 'buttonhole' that you pull one end through to secure the mask around your head and it works so nicely. Light is blocked out, outside sound seems reduced, and when I want to wear headphones, I feel like they're a little more secure." —Kathleen Clay

Made with soft mulberry silk fibers, this luxe eye mask is larger than your average sleep mask, ensuring it's truly pitch black. The headband is adjustable so it won't tug or tangle your hair.
Promising review: "This sleep mask keeps the light out and it is super comfortable. The strap is not too tight and the silk finish is soft on the eyes and surrounding area. Putting on the mask signals my body that it is time to sleep, which I think has helped me fall asleep faster and return to sleep more rapidly if I wake to use the bathroom at night. We purchased one for my husband who was recovering from brain surgery and needed darkness in the hospital and thereafter. It worked great." —Moore Family

If you don't want to drill into the wall to install curtains, we recommend going with either a tension rod or Command hooks.
Promising review: "I don’t know why I didn’t buy these years ago. I live in a dorm with old curtains that barely helped block the parking lot light at night, let alone the blazing morning sun out of my east-facing room. I got these curtains and can now get my room pitch dark at night and darker than I had ever had it before even with the harshest light. The curtain itself lights up a little with the most direct sunlight, but it is still easy to sleep through and doesn’t ever wake me up. One of the best decisions ever and I have no complaints." —MallardTop

Promising review: "My favorite pillow EVER! I’ve purchased them over and over. The coolness of my head no matter what the weather keeps me sleeping like a baby. They’re so great I have had some stolen (not joking)! These are not squishy; they're just extremely wonderful for a good night's sleep. The cool gel is amazing and it can be flipped over for a less cooling effect. Also great after surgery. Highly recommend and I will purchase again and again and again. Another natural pain-relieving product! I’m happy!" —Susan

Promising review: "I suffer from bad sciatica, so I was so excited to get this. I immediately tried it and 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 6 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

Promising review: "I am somewhat new to the practice of meditation, but I love this pillow. It's firm and supports my back/hips, making it easier to sit for a longer period of time. I sit slightly forward so that my feet touch the floor. I was concerned when I read that it has buckwheat hull filling, it would hurt, but it doesn't. It's comfortable, and well worth the price. Much cheaper than other meditation pillows I've seen. It is a little hefty, so it would probably be a pain to travel with, especially because it keeps its shape. I would recommend this product for people who are both amateurs and seasoned to the practice of mediation." —Rebecca

Promising review: "I'm a college student in a dorm with two other roommates and there is construction going on near the building. These are honestly the answer to my prayers for a good night's sleep. The first few weeks of living on campus sucked because one of my roommates doesn't understand the idea of being quiet when others are sleeping and construction trucks decided that 4 a.m. would be the perfect time to ride around in reverse, beeping away. I went from rudely being woken up before I needed to sleeping soundly until my own alarm goes off. They expand very comfortably in my ear, and, for the most part, they stay in all night. The contour really makes a difference. I've been able to use the same pair for quite a while and they still work great. Once they start falling out in your sleep a lot, then you know it's time to throw them away and get out two new ones, but a box of these can easily last me three months." —Danielle

Promising review: "These are awesome! I listen to podcasts at night to help me block out the thoughts of the day and help me sleep, and have always used headphones so as not to wake my husband. But headphones work best when you are sitting up. Regular headphones are very uncomfortable when you are laying down, especially if you tend to sleep on your side. These headphones solve the issue. They are comfortable, and you can sleep on your side and you will barely notice them. The sound quality is pretty good — quite suitable for podcasts but not as good as the big old bulky Bose headphones that you can't sleep in. I'll plug these into my phone, turn on a podcast, and relax for a good night's rest. The cord doesn't seem to get in the way which is what I feared might happen, and so far the cord shows no sign of fraying or wearing through after about a month of using them. The material is warm and cozy but not too warm. And the headphones will help to block out other noise for a good night's rest. I love these." —Dog Lover

Promising review: "I’m renting an apartment and my front door doesn’t brush up against the floor. There was about an inch gap which was annoying because it meant light, noise, and bugs could get in. Ever since I’ve installed this, I’ve had almost no bugs, no light, and so much less sound! It’s great. The sound-blocking is especially amazing because my bedroom is near the front door and I hated hearing my neighbors conversations clear as day in the stairwell. It’s not totally noise cancelling but it’s so much better." —airazedy

Promising review: "I am on my feet for four to six hours a couple of days a week (usher at the local entertainment arena). When I get home, my feet hurt! This foot massager is AMAZING! It helps to relax my feet so that I can sleep. The next morning, I can get out of bed and walk without experiencing any pain. Great purchase." —Sonja Briscoe

Promising review: "I love the product, use it daily. Initially, I used it to help my foot pain, or plantar fasciitis...I was told. The pain is gone now, but I still use it to relieve the stressfulness of long days. I find that (for me) using it just before bedtime help sueds and relax my feet, which help me to fall a sleep faster. It's amazing to know that when your feet feels good, your whole body fells better." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "So for the last several weeks, I have been experiencing the negative effects of dry air in my home, particularly in my bedroom. My nose has been dry and sore with inflamed nasal passages along with my nose running 'like a sugar tree.' Sleeping with a fan as I have done for the past 15+ years became impossible. I don't know about you, but that combination makes for a miserable sleep. Anywho, I had never needed or used a humidifier until this purchase. Let's just say that my dreams have returned and I'm waking up to a nice mist rather than a pillow of Kleenex and a sore nose. Life is good." —Tracy Johnson

Promising review: "I live with a spouse who has a heavy hand when it comes to doors, cabinets, etc. He is what I call a slammer — I close things but he slams them! As our kitchen sits right below the master bedroom, I would finally drift off to sleep only to be awakened by slamming in the kitchen below! Not anymore!! These door bumpers are the best! High quality and they definitely do the job! They can be easily cut with a sharp scissors if need be. Our kitchen cabinets had a little ridge, so I had to cut some to make them fit. Easy to apply too — just peel off the backing and stick! Strong adhesive is an added bonus!" —Fitness Nana
Get a sheet of 100 on Amazon for $6.99.
Promising review: "We have a rather deep mattress and added a memory foam topper, which gave our fitted sheet a real stretch to be able to securely tuck at the corners and not slip off. It would hold some of the time, but we frequently had a corner or two slip off during the night. It was disrupting sleep, so I was ready to safety pin the fitted sheet corners in place. However, no need for safety pins. After giving Bed Band a try our fitted sheet slipping problem is solved! The clamp design grips like iron, but the best part is the adjustable bands that allow for a quick final fit after installing the clamps. The other designs require that you adjust the bands first, and then stretch the clamps into place under tension. With Bed Band, you clamp each band into place without tension, then you use the quick adjuster to apply tension as needed. This makes for a much simpler installation, and with a product that by its nature needs to removed and re-installed repeatedly (sheet washing), ease of installation is critical. Bed Bands is the clear design winner here for both function and ease of installation. A stellar product design at an affordable price!" —Huancayo

Promising review: "I have a difficult time being able to wind down from my stressful job at night and fall asleep, and I don’t want to take any oral sleep aids or meds, so I thought I’d give this balm a try. Just a little dab of the salve goes a long way! Every night right before bed, I apply some on my forehead and temples, gently massaging in a circular motion, and then to my wrists where my pulse is. The scent is very pleasant, a natural, herbal fragrance. Right away I notice a soothing, cooling sensation where I’m rubbing the balm into. The ointment itself feels clean and non-greasy going on! I’ve really benefited from using this balm. I find the combination of fragrance and cooling really relaxes and calms me as I’m resting!" —Janine Jones

Promising review: "I am 40 years old with behavioral and sensory challenges. I am 100% convinced the foot pads are helping me. I apply them bilaterally right before I fall asleep. I have noticed every time that I wake up HAPPIER, less moody, less irritated, more receptive, and more energetic. I have used this product for one week almost continuously. The nights that I have forgotten to apply the foot pads, next morning I can tell the difference in my behavior." —The reviewer

Promising review: "For a lifelong sufferer of miserable Restless Leg Syndrome, this is nothing short of a miracle! I was skeptical that the pod could help me, since nothing else has ever helped me, but I think since the pod contains my thrashing movements, I’m not waking myself up over and over at night. My dreams are typically very vivid and I usually don’t feel like I had a chance to turn my mind off and disconnect. I think I am getting more REM sleep with the pod because I haven’t remembered my dreams these past four nights. Also, I run hot so it’s a pleasant surprise that the pod truly is breathable and not sweaty." —Jennifer C
