From sleeping masks to pillow sprays, sound machines and more, here's everything you need to start sleeping better.
Contrary to popular opinion, getting a good night's rest might actually be simpler than people think — I mean, sleeping is a science after all. There are so many different factors that can affect the quality of rest that we get on a nightly basis. From varying sleep cycles and sleep apnea disorders to more environmental factors like the temperature of a room, the quality of a mattress or even the density of the pillows, getting good quality sleep is often (somewhat) within our own control.
Since good sleep is so precious and essential for your health, it's best to address the things that keep you up at night. With the season for hibernating nearly here, it's not just the shorter days of winter that can throw off sleep patterns. Dry air and colder weather are also factors, making now an ideal time to swap out your bedding and pajamas with something better suited for achieving ultimate coziness and relaxation.
To help refine your sleeping habits this winter, we've rounded up 15 of the most calming products, from tools and tech to sleep-inducing bedding. Ahead, shop helpful products that double as great gifts to give for a good night's sleep. Plus, check out this week's top mattress sales, and shop the best weighted blankets that will help you fall asleep even faster.
