Products for Better Sleep
Hatch Restore
Too much artificial light can throw off your internal body clock and cause circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Basically, all the light tricks our bodies into thinking we should still be awake.
The Hatch Restore helps to minimize and control the amount of light you’re exposed to before sleep. In addition to being a smart light, the Hatch can also serve as a white noise machine to play calming music before bed.
You can also control all the settings through a phone app which can help you create your ideal routine and a relaxing sleep (and morning) atmosphere.
Quay Australia Blue Light Glasses
We are all glued to the screens more than ever now that most of us work from home and as most things become more digitized.
All the excess screen time means more exposure to blue light which can negatively impact our internal body clock. Blue light affects our sleep because it holds back the body’s production of melatonin.
Sometimes all the screen time can be unavoidable, which is why blue light glasses may be a good investment for you. In fact, one study found that participants wearing blue light glasses showed about a 58% increase in their nighttime melatonin levels.
You can also go to Quay’s website to read more about the benefits of blue light glasses and find additional options.
Yogi Bedtime Tea
One of the main ingredients in the Yogi Bedtime Tea is chamomile. Chamomile tea is typically used to treat inflammation, reduce anxiety and treat insomnia. In addition to the ingredients in the Yogi Bedtime Tea, the warm water makes it the perfect pre-bed drink.
This soothing herbal blend is purposefully formulated to support relaxation. It is perfect for enjoying before bedtime to help you unwind.
Another favorite of mine is the Trader Joe’s Well Rested Herbal Tea.
Aromatherapy Diffuser & Essential Oil Set from Pure Daily Care
The use of essential oils, especially lavender, is used to invoke calm and set the mood for sleep. Essential oils can either be used with the diffuser, or you can rub a little bit on your wrists or mix with water and spray onto your pillow.
The Pure Daily Care Ultimate Aromatherapy kit includes one diffuser and a set of their top 10 essential oils. This diffuser also comes with 4 ambient light settings to help create a relaxing space for sleep.
Audible
Listening to audiobooks before bed is a great way to wind down for sleep. Audible even has sections in their library that are built specifically for sleep.
The sleep audio section includes bedtime stories for adults, ambient sounds for sleep, nature sounds for sleep, guided sleep meditations, and more! There’s also a sleep timer you can use in case you fall asleep.
Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Ergo Neck Pillow Firm Support
A firm pillow, like the Tempur-Ergo Neck Pillow, provides support and structure to keep you in an ideal sleeping position all night. Firm pillows are perfect if you sleep on your side because it keeps your head in the correct position.
The Tempur-Ergo neck pillow is engineered to relieve pressure and provide personalized support throughout the night. It also is made from material that will never lose it’s form.
Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt with Lavender
Warm baths taken 1-2 hours before bedtime are shown to help people fall asleep faster. The warmth and the magnesium levels in Epsom salt baths help reduce stress and anxiety levels.
The Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath Epsom Salt also has lavender in it, providing an extra relaxing experience. Lavender essential oils improve your quality of rest, soothe the senses, revitalize tired, achy muscles, and help provide relief from stress.
This can be the perfect treat on days where you’re feeling extra anxious or tense.
Luna Adult Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets have similar benefits to deep pressure therapy. They can calm a restless body, reduce anxiety, and make you feel more secure. It’s like getting a nice hug.
The evenly distributed weight of the Luna Adult Weighted Blanket also stimulates serotonin release, increases melatonin, and reduces cortisol (the stress hormone).
Note that the key to the right weighted blanket is to get one that is 5 to 10 percent of your body weight.
HoMedics White Noise Sound Machine
White noise machines are great for light sleepers or people who live in noisy environments. Studies show that the masked external sounds help you sleep better.
The HoMedics White Noise Sound Machine can mask loud sounds that stimulate your brain when you’re trying to sleep.
Contoured Sleeping Blindfold
Sleeping masks are great for blocking out unwanted lights and distractions as you’re trying to sleep.
The Contoured Sleeping Blindfold is special because it removes the pressure on your eyes, allows them to blink, and is made of memory foam to be more comfortable.
Elegant Revolutionary Cooling Blanket
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night or have a hard time falling asleep because you were too hot? It’s natural for our bodies’ temperature to fluctuate during the night, but sometimes overheating can disturb our sleep.
The Elegant Cooling Blanket is a game-changer, especially on those warm summer nights, because it will keep you cool all night. Their special cooling blanket is made from special Japanese Q-Max 0.4 Cooling Fibers that absorb body heat and transfer to a cooling throw blanket.
