1. A few sheets of LED-dimming stickers to finally keep those pesky router, TV, clock, and other electronic lights from ruining your ~room of complete darkness~. They'll instantly take those glaring beacons from a 10 to a 2, so your space is fully prepped for sleepytime.
2. A pack of lavender-scented shower steamers, because taking a warm shower (or bath) an hour or two before bed has been shown to help you fall asleep faster — and one of these can help make it an extra relaxing experience. One reviewer says, "it's like visiting the spa before bed"....I'll take 50 bags.
3. A lightweight, contoured sleeping mask that'll block every beam of light without pressing down on your eyes (even if you're a side sleeper), so you'll completely forget you're even wearing it.
4. Or a padded 100% silk sleep mask with lavender and flax seeds inside for a relaxing aromatherapy moment built right in to send you off to slumber. It's like a weighted blanket *for your eyes*. Ahhhhhhhhh...😴😴😴
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this sleep mask. I never write product reviews, because I never feel impressed about a product enough to write one. But this mask is different. It's PERFECT! It's super comfortable on your face. The adjustable strap makes customization easy, and the lavender smells amazing! It's such a great idea, and it seems like a really good company that makes them. If you want to sleep comfortably and block out the light, I highly suggest this mask. I will never need to try/buy another one." —Sarah W.

Asutra is a woman-owned company (partially owned by Venus Williams!!) Carrying products for self-care. Nothing is tested on animals or contains parabens, phthalates, or petroleum.
5. Or! The NodPod, aka a weighted blanket–sleep mask hybrid designed to put a comforting and relaxing pressure on your head — without the tight feeling of elastic behind your head or a serious case of bedhead when you wake up. The weight is distributed evenly, so it'll stay in place too.
6. The Nocturnal Journal, a creative notebook formatted to help any restless mind late at night — it's filled with interactive pages and reusable activities to de-stress, unwind, and just chill the bleep out so you can get to sleep ASAP.
7. An oscillating tower fan for anyone who needs a little white noise *and* some nice, cool air surrounding their cozy bed to get proper sleep. It's not as loud as most fans, but it does provides a light "whoosh" you might find soothing. And fret not, the LED lights turn off in "sleep" mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed. If you've been burned by not-so-cooling fans before, know that one reviewer nicknamed it "THE GLACIER" *and* said is "better than your air conditioner." Yup!
It has six speeds — up to 24 feet per second velocity — and three modes. It's sleek and narrow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room, and it looks surprisingly cool! It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed.
Promising review: "One year later and still loving it! I get hot incredibly easily — especially while sleeping. And my sleep has substantially improved since purchasing this fan. It says “quiet” but it still has that light white-noise that I love hearing when I sleep. But more than that, this fan has been a life saver time and time again! When the A/C has stopped in my medium-sized apartment, this tower fan has kept a room manageably cool all by itself. It’s so easy just to lift and drop in any room! And it really makes the hot southern summers more bearable! I have never regretted buying this fan once within the year of my owning it. In fact, I’ve instead remarked to my husband how buying this fan has been one of my best purchases!" —trinitymal

8. And two-tone PJs made of a moisture-wicking bamboo viscose material that'll feel ❄️cool❄️ against your skin... And help you not wake up in a pool of sweat night after night. That means they're ideal for hot sleepers or anyone who's ever experienced a night of tossing and turning, not able to achieve that perfect sleep temerature.
9. Or if you can't sleep at night when you're too *cold* or need a cold room with a warm bed for optimal rest, a hot water bottle complete with an adorable cable-knit cover to help preheat your sheets before you get into them — sometimes the old-school solutions are the best. Fill it with hot water (this one has a wide mouth for easier filling, btw), stick it between your sheets or under your blanket, and cuddle on up. Reviewers say it stays warm all night!
I love to warm up my sheets with a hot water bottle (mine is probably from the '90s) when I'm washing up for bed on particularly cold days, and I like that I don't need to deal with anything electric! I made up a little song that I sing when I do it; it's called "Preheat Your Sheets."
You can also use it as a heating pad for aches and pains or cramps — just be sure to use it with the knit cover when using on your body so it's not too hot.
Promising review: "Best buy for your money if you're sick of being cold. Where have you been my whole life? I suffer from this condition called "I hate the cold." I can't fall asleep if I'm cold, so I need my bed to be warm. I live off the grid, where electricity is limited so central heat is out of the question. Normally I have 5 comforters and those heated hand warmers in bed with me and I'm still freezing. I gave this water bottle a try and OMG! It heats the whole bed!! It stays hot for hours and by the time I wake up 8 hours later, the water is still warm! Plus, it takes no electricity! I use hot tap water to fill it. It doesn't leak and it seems pretty durable so far. I LOVE IT!!!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.76+ (available in various colors and two-packs).
10. And a heated mattress pad with a 12-hour(!) Auto-shutoff function so you never wake up shivering in the middle of the night. And attention couples: the queen and king sizes have different controls for *each side*, so you'll never have to fight over the thermostat again or scowl when your sleeps-hot partner is snoozing soundly while you're cold and awake.
Here's Viral News Only Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa: "When I say I'm obsessed...I think it's actually an understatement. I get GIDDY when I get to use my heated mattress pad — it's that good! I'm a person who is always a little cold, and I actually become more alert when I get into a bed that's cold. Not great if it's late and you just want to sleep! This mattress pad has changed my life. I get so excited about 10 minutes before bedtime because I get to turn it on. It feels very similar to laying down on a massage table that's been warmed up. Pure luxury! I don't know how I slept comfortably before I started using this one. I really like the timer (it goes from 1 to 12 hours) because as the night goes on I do get a little warm to the point where it can be uncomfortable. With the timer, the heater shuts off automatically so I don't wake up at 4 a.m. In a hot sweat. There are 12 levels of heat so you can customize it to your liking. Oh, and the queen and king sizes have two independent controls so you and your sleeping partner can pick your own levels of warmth. J'adore."
Promising review: "Heats up quickly and evenly. Automatic shut-off after 10 hours. Keeps temperature consistent all night. Very nice getting into a warm bed. Aids greatly in getting to sleep and staying asleep. It used to take me 30-60 minutes to get to sleep because the bed was cold, and my body needed to warm it up. Now it is warm when I get in, and I fall asleep within minutes." —Jam
Get it from Amazon for $42.28+ (available in four sizes and two styles).
11. A mechanical white noise machine (it works by creating rushing air, not fake electric "ocean sounds") to pleasantly drown out your neighbors, Scary House Creaking Noises, and that annoyingly cheerful morning birdsong. Just twist to adjust the volume to your preference, and you'll be sleeping soundly, with any sudden noises able to startle you awake drowned out.
12. Or a (compact!) Electronic sound machine if just one sound profile doesn't cut it for you. This one has *20* settings, including white noise, brown noise, pink(!?) Noise, waves, bonfire, rain, and birds — all with no looping (and no...pause... When it loops) for so you won't be annoyed *and* awake. Shoutout to the one reviewer who shared screenshots of their sleep tracker to show major improvements in REM sleep when using this!
13. A Goldilocks-approved pillow filled with shredded memory foam so your head is never too high (like traditional memory foam pillows that don't sink in enough) or too low (like the decade-old down alternative pillows on your bed right now). It's juuuuust right. You can even add or remove foam for custom comfort.
14. Not a fan of foam? No problem. A set of reviewer-beloved "hotel" pillows that tick all the boxes: soft yet firm, with enough density that you won't need to re-fluff in the middle of the night — and breathable, so you'll get that cool-side-of-the-pillow feeling (that means no overheating). One reviewer who stays in 150+ hotels every year says these are among the most comfortable and affordable ones available!
Promising review: "These had great reviews, but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." —Marissa Urey
Promising review: "God himself must use these pillows. I have (or had, haha) insomnia, not to mention a bad neck/back *and* hot flashes. The comfort and the cooling is AMAZING (even with a silk pillowcase). Thank you, TikTok, for influencing me!!!!" —Rickie White
Get a set of two from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in three sizes).
15. Or! A weird-looking pillow designed to help support sleeping in a properly aligned position, whether it's on your side or back. And yes, according to reviewers, that even means keeping snorers in a ~quieter~ sleeping position — that means better rest for everyone!
Promising review: "Throughout my second and third trimester, I was in dire need of neck support to relieve chronic snoring and heartburn that came about during my pregnancy. I tried several different kinds of pillows and wedges, but nothing provided me the level of comfortable, cozy, and immediate relief like the Osteo Hollow Design Cervical Pillow! Like, overnight success. Let's just say my symptoms were so bad that even my husband's sleep was being disrupted (from loud snoring and me getting up every 5 seconds in discomfort) — ALL GONE! Immediately! Thank you, magical pillow. I will be using you for years to come. The quality is excellent - the shape holds up, it is a perfect blend of supportive and soft, not too high, very instinctive to your body to use, and also there is NO SCENT. Run, don't walk to get one if you are also in need of the best sleep of your life while pregnant!" —Greenpoint Resident
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in standard and queen sizes and six colors).
16. A weighted blanket reviewers swear by to help with anxiety, stress, and insomnia. The just-heavy-enough pressure can help you relax and feel comforted enough to drift off, instead of thinking about that time you called your teacher "mom" in the third grade...
17. Or a Bearaby weighted blanket if you're looking for the same soothing heavy feeling, but not-just-right home decor ~keeps you up at night~. This chunky knit looks straight out of an interior design mag! And since it has holes in the knit, it's a great option to provide weight without overheating you.
18. *OR* a faux fur "Cuddle Blanket" with some substantial weight to it for the ultimate in luxurious rest. It's like the comforting weight of your pup, but this won't move around or abandon you in the middle of the night (and wake you up in the process).
19. A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets — your old bedding might be the culprit in keeping you awake, especially if it's scratchy, pilled-up, or too hot. These, however, are made of a super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric over 250,000 5-star reviewers (wow!) Love for being cozy and sleeping surprisingly cool. And all at a price that just might make you want to ditch your expensive, name-brand sheets (cough, Cozy Earth, cough) for these babies after the first night — lots of reviewers have.
Promising review: "I really love these sheets. They’re very soft and comfortable and I can tell by the fabric that they won’t get those lint balls. I like that the pillow cases have a little design touch to them. I usually get pretty hot at night, but since these, I have been sleeping soundly through the night — sweat-free! My whole family will be buying them for every bed. I’ve always been a big fan of microfiber sheets, and this price point for 1800 threat count is great! I accidentally left them in the wash for a bit, so I can’t completely verify the wrinkle-free, but they have smoothed out pretty well." —Juliana V
Promising review: "These sheets are indescribably wonderful! Its hard to believe that putting such a thin layer of anything on a bed transforms the bed into such a soft and caressing place. My wife and I agree that these sheets make it easier to fall asleep and sleep soundly. I was a believer in 100% cotton before this and would not have ever gone for "synthetic" sheets. But this brushed microfiber is actually more comfortable than cotton. It has to do with the way that the microstructure of the fiber breaths and traps moisture and feels soft against the skin. The other amazing thing is that these sheets are less than half the cost of comparably sized fine cotton sheets. So we've now ordered three sets. What a deal!" —Todd Becker
Get a set of queen sheets from Amazon for $34.97 (available in sizes twin–California king, plus sheet sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 40 colors and patterns).
20. A Levoit humidifier, because dry air can actually negatively impact your rest by drying out your airways (which might mean more snoring or interrupted sleep). And this humidifier is designed with ease of use in mind — it has a top-fill tank for painless refilling (no spills!) And a large opening to make cleaning a breeze. The 2.5-liter tank also means it can run for 25 hours at a time, so you can enjoy moister (sorry) air for longer.

Promising review: "With using our heaters, we have been having some nose problems! So we ordered this, and the first night, I felt like I slept a lot better, and my nose wasn’t as bad as it had been; I left it on max to check the functionality of the water capacity and durability, and after a full night on max, Functionality is 10, no leakage so far! Durability is a 10, Sleep quality has improved significantly! Love the top where you can turn the spout 360 degrees!" —Tracy
Promising review: "Very pleased with this humidifier! It puts out so much vapor that I can keep it on the lowest output setting most of the time, and it's a breeze to refill — you don't even need to turn it off; just lift the lid and pour in more water. On a low setting, it will run for 10-12 hours on a single fill. It's also very quiet, so I have no trouble sleeping with it in my bedroom. Pro tip: Use only distilled water with these things. Even filtered tap water or bottled spring water will clog the membrane with mineral buildup. I use steam distilled water from the grocery (it's cheap) and have no white powder, no residue, and no problems with the atomizer." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in black and white).
21. Or for moisture *plus* extra vibes, a sleek 5-in-1 humidifier/diffuser with a super quiet noise level and seven different LED light colors (you can also use it without the light!) To ~set the scene~ for your bedtime routine — use lavender or your favorite nighttime-friendly essential oil for an extra boost.
Reviewers note the water tank can last all night, but you can also set it to automatically shut off after 60, 120, or 180 minutes!
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Promising review: "I love this thing! I bought it for my granddaughter, but now I use it all the time for myself. It is quiet, easy to use, and easy to clean. It Does not drench your room with water like many vaporizers. Rather, it expels a light mist of water and scent. I add some eucalyptus or peppermint drops to it, and the light scent and mist really help me sleep better. It's perfect! Considering buying another just to have one for each bedroom." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six styles).
22. The newest Kindle Paperwhite (it even has a warm light option if you're trying to avoid blue light before bed!) So you can enjoy a few chapters without keeping the lights on, helping you (and your bed partner) wind down without too much light waking up your brain. Turn the TV off and get off your phone — this'll get you right off to dreamland.
23. A pair of stylish blue light-blocking glasses that could help make your evening screen time less disruptive to your sleep when you...finally close your laptop or turn off the TV. Revenge bedtime procrastination is real. Many reviewers note a significant difference in the time it takes for them to fall asleep.
24. Or a celestial projector shaped like a lil' astronaut to turn anyone's room (adult or child alike) into a magical star show...and soothe and distract you from going over your to-do list for the thousandth time so you can focus on what you're going to dream about (only good things!). It has eight different nebula-style effects you can (optionally) combine with a twinkling green star effect for an out-of-this world experience that'll completely transform your space.
It comes with a remote so you can control it right from bed, and it has auto-shutoff options, too, if you use this as a nightlight! You can check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "After a close friend passed away, I was having issues falling asleep at night. A friend of mine showed me this, and I bought one as a sort of distraction/night light, and boy did it help. You can turn the “nebula” on or off (it’s less bright with the nebula off), and you can dim the stars and change their speed or pulse, and it’s very relaxing and bright enough but not too bright. It helped a lot. I’m sleeping fine again, and I don’t use it as much, but it’s a fun thing to have with neat lighting effects, and the lady friend loves it too." —Cat Marr
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in black and white).
25. A Tuft & Needle mattress if your old lumpy, bumpy, too-hard, or saggy mattress is just not the right foundation for a good night's sleep. It might be time for an upgrade, and reviewers love this option — it has a hybrid of adaptive foam and pocketed coils designed not to sag or get uncomfortable. Just pure body-sinking-in comfort and support. Good luck getting out of bed!
26. Or if you're not looking for a new mattress or are not a fan of memory foam, a hypoallergenic bamboo mattress pad with an extra-plush filling to create a breathable, cloudlike layer over your mattress to make "sleeping hot" a thing of the past.
27. A lavender and chamomile aromatherapy mist to spray on everything and make your bedroom a ~Cave of Slumbers~. It's made with all-natural essential oils to create a sleep-friendly atmosphere that might help you feel a little more calm and relaxed. Spray it on blankets, pillows, clothes — you can even spray it on yourself!
28. Or for a two-in-one option, a lavender pillow spray designed to kill zit-causing bacteria so you don't have to change out your pillowcases as often. AND, thanks to its soothing lavender scent, you might just be off to a solid dose of beauty sleep in no time.
29. A bulk box of Sleepytime herbal tea; with a soothing blend of chamomile, spearmint, and lemongrass, it could help you wind down at the end of the day and prepare for...well...sleepytime. Instead of counting sheep, I'll be visualizing myself as the Sleepytime Bear — cozy!
30. A reviewer-certified squeak-free bedframe for anyone whose restless bed partner rustling in the night is keeping them from getting any real rest. Just add the decorative headboard of your choosing to dress it up!
31. A pair of insulating blackout curtains so you can enjoy a properly dark room, even if your neighbors refuse to turn off those lights that are somehow brighter than the sun at 3 a.m. And if you feel like sleeping in (good for you!) These keep annoying sunlight out so you can get a solid eight hours in.
32. A bottle of tart cherry juice you can taste on its own or try your own Sleepy Girl Mocktail like you've seen all over TikTok by mixing with magnesium powder and sparkling water (or soda) for a refreshing bedtime sip.
33. Cozyphones, a fleece headband with flat headphones built right in, because sleeping with earbuds in your ears is damn painful, but your "go to sleep" playlist (whether that's tunes, podcasts, meditations, or a white noise blend) is oh-so-important.
34. A mega-fluffy down alternative all-season duvet insert, because being cozy isn't just for the wintertime — and cozy and sleep go hand-in-hand. This has a nice weight that's perfect for cuddling under year-round without overheating; just listen to the aaaalmost 100,000 people who rated this 5 stars.
35. Or a "365" blanket designed to be used, you guessed it, 365 days a year. It's thin, oversized (so you don't wake up freezing when your partner steals the covers), and temperature-regulating so you can snooze in comfort all. Year. Long.
36. A U-shaped body pillow that'll be your cuddle buddy and grown-up stuffed animal companion to help keep your body aligned and give you a comforting, cocooning sensation to help you relax and doze right off.
37. A high-density memory foam pillow ergonomically designed to align your knees and hips to reduce pressure on your lower back. That means less waking in the night in pain (according to Amazon reviewers) and easier time falling asleep.
It's time to turn off your inner Bethenny Frankel.
