A viral sunrise alarm clock

Hatch Restore 3

The Hatch Restore 3 is more than just a sunrise alarm clock; it's a customizable bedside sleep system designed to help you build a more consistent nighttime routine and wake up more naturally. It pairs gradual sunrise-style light with soothing soundscapes to guide you from wind-down to wake-up, supporting your circadian rhythm rather than jolting you with a harsh alarm. The latest version adds convenient on-device controls, improved sound quality, and a sleek, compact design. While the paid Hatch+ subscription unlocks an expanded content library, the device includes a solid selection of options on its own.

Breathable pajamas that keep us from overheating

Dagsmejean Slip Dress

Dagsmejan uses patented fabric technology, including its "Nattcool" textile, which the brand says is up to eight times more breathable than cotton and designed to wick away moisture as you sleep. I put it to the test during an August heatwave without air conditioning, and it kept me noticeably cool and dry through the night. While I wake up with damp pajamas when I overheat, I felt genuinely comfortable and surprisingly refreshed in this slip dress.

A warming, lavender-scented plushie

A breathable linen quilt for even the hottest sleepers

Parachute Linen Box Quilt

As a hot and light sleeper, I've found that even lightweight comforters are too warm, which is why I've relied on the Parachute Linen Box Quilt for the past six years.

A heated, massaging eye mask

Therabody's SmartGoggles combine heat, massage, and vibrations into a blackout eye mask. There are three settings for personalized relaxation, headache relief, and sleep prep.

A cooling, plush pillow that's wallet-friendly

Beckham Hotel Collection Down Alternative Gel Pillow

More than 250,000 Amazon shoppers agree that the Beckham Hotel Collection down-alternative pillow is an elite, budget-friendly pick.

A white noise machine that uses a real fan

Snooz White Noise Machine

During a visit back home for the holidays, my partner's grandparents urged us to try their Snooz White Noise Machine. We ended up loving it so much that we got our own. It uses a real fan to create comforting, soothing sounds that help you drift off to sleep.

A pair of sheet straps to keep the fitted sheet from slipping off

A cool, luxurious silk pillow

Cozy Earth Silk Pillow

A sleep support supplement

Natrol Melatonin Supplement (5mg, 150 count)

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally in the body that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. In supplement form, it can be helpful for short-term sleep issues caused by jet lag, shift work, or adjusting to changes in daylight-saving time. Since melatonin is a supplement that authorities haven't evaluated, you should talk to your healthcare professional before taking it.

A weighted eye mask

Nodpod Weighted Eye Mask

Move over, weighted blankets. Weighted eye masks are all the rage. Sometimes described as "hugs for your head," they have gentle weights with just the right amount of pressure to lull you to sleep. For someone who's a light sleeper like me, I love how this completely blocks out light.

Earbuds that are actually comfortable to wear to sleep

Soundcore Sleep A20 Earbuds

These Soundcore sleep earbuds stood out as the best we tested, thanks to their secure, comfortable fit and effective noise cancellation. They stay in place all night — even for side sleepers — and dramatically reduce ambient sound. A simple double-tap switches them from music to sleep mode, and they're the only pair we tested that offer optional active noise cancellation.

It's a practical option for bright bedrooms, hotels, and planes.

An e-reader with adjustable brightness settings

Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite is a sleep-friendly alternative to scrolling through your phone in bed. Its 300 ppi glare-free display mimics real paper, reducing eye strain, while adjustable brightness and warm backlight settings let you customize the screen for nighttime reading. The lightweight, waterproof design and long battery life make it easy to keep on your nightstand.

A serene meditation app

Headspace Meditation App

In addition to meditation and mindfulness, the Headspace app offers dedicated sleep content. The popular Sleepcasts pair calming narration with ambient background sounds, and listeners can customize the balance between the two to suit their own preferences. While the free version offers limited access, it lets you preview the content before upgrading to a paid membership.

A smart mattress that automatically adjusts as you sleep

Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed

The Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed is an adjustable air mattress with 20 firmness settings, allowing sleepers to fine-tune their comfort level.

We chose it as the best adjustable air mattress in our best mattress guide.

Soothingly scented incense sticks

Nag Champa Incense Sticks

Satya incense is a popular option for adding a calming scent element to your bedroom routine (while also helping to mask unwanted household odors). Available in a wide range of fragrances like Nag Champa and Romance, the sticks burn slowly to fill your room with a lingering aroma that can help conjure a more relaxing sleep environment. Just remember, incense and candles should never be left unattended, and you should extinguish them before you fall asleep.

A convenient pillow spray you can bring anywhere

This Works Deep Pillow Spray, 75ml

The spray is vegan and made of cruelty-free ingredients like lavender, vetivert, and chamomile to help relax busy minds as soon as they hit the pillow.

A travel pillow so you can finally fall asleep on your flight

Trtl Pillow

The Trtl pillow reimagines the traditional travel neck pillow with a lightweight fleece wrap that conceals an internal support. Instead of cushioning your entire neck, the support rests against your shoulder or neck to hold your head in a more ergonomic position—without creating uncomfortable pressure points— when you sleep upright.

A light that slowly dims at night and brightens in the morning to mimic a sunrise

Casper Glow Light

The Casper Glow Light is a bedside lamp designed to support your natural circadian rhythm by mimicking the gradual dimming of a sunset. It begins bright enough for reading, then slowly fades over about 45 minutes, signaling it's time for sleep. The intuitive design lets you flip the light to turn it on or off, twist to adjust brightness, and shake to activate night-light mode.

A reversible mattress designed for side sleepers

The Saatva Zenhaven is a dual-sided natural latex mattress with impressive eco-credentials. Designed with zoned support to promote spinal alignment, it features a breathable, vented latex core that helps regulate temperature. While the mattress is flippable, with sides labeled Luxury Plush and Gentle Firm, our testers both found both felt firmer than expected and less distinct than advertised.
