Promising reviews: “I’ve had many bad experiences with sleep deprivation over the years, from not being able to fall asleep to waking up too early. When I learned that I needed true, pure darkness to lull me into rest, these curtains were bought instantly. Not only do they keep my room pitch-black, but they keep it colder too. Now there’s very little to keep me from getting the rest I need, and I’ll always thank myself for this purchase.” —Junior Balderas

"These curtains help muffle outside sounds, making my space much quieter and more peaceful. If you live near a busy street or have noisy neighbors, these will definitely help create a more serene environment." —LReco Aieron

Promising review: “This little guy is great! It’s small yet powerful enough to drown out the upstairs apartment’s monster child that stomps and jumps continuously! I have not had a full uninterrupted day (I work nights) of sleep since I have lived beneath them! I have had other sound machines, I’ve tried apps on my phone, I have even worn earplugs!! This little machine has done what nothing else has been able to do, which is to silence the demon spawn above me!! My prayers have been answered!!” —R.J.

Promising review: “The fabric, design and fit of this mask are something that was thoughtfully designed and you can tell. This is probably the cheapest and best sleep mask I’ve purchased. It blocks any light at a 100%, regardless that I’ve chosen the pink, and I thought that because it’s a light nuance, it might mess up with the light blockage — nah, nothing like that. Not pressing my eyelids is an extra bonus. And talking about bonuses, the ear plugs that came with it as a gift happen to be one of the best sound blockers I’ve come across so far (and I’ve tried A LOT, including Bose’s sleep buds). Overall, best spent $10 ever — if you happen to be a light sleeper and you need some extra help, this is your solution!” —Jenya Paranova

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in 12 colors and in two-packs). 

It offers 8–10 hours of playtime on a single charge, so it'll last all night without interruption. 

Promising review: "I live in an A-frame cabin and when the sun comes up, the light shines in the windows right in my face…I was able to wake up, take some medicine and put in my mask and listen to the Bible, podcasts, audiobooks, and music until I got back to sleep. Also, while traveling, this is nice to have in your car when you need to rest. I love it and highly recommend! The sound is perfect and the mask is very comfortable." —Jenni

Promising review: "I am probably one of the hardest people to please when it comes to pillows, so when I say this pillow is hands down the best pillow I’ve ever had, omg it truly is! RUN!!!! Don’t walk to get this pillow! No more sweaty nights, waking up with a wet neck and hair because it stays so cool to the touch. My partner is no longer snoring, thus allowing me to sleep better. I ended up putting the extra stuffing they sent in mine because I do like a fuller pillow, but still, even without it, it still was so amazing! I was super hesitant to get a gel/foam type of pillow as it would be my first, but after sleeping on it a few weeks; WE have ZERO REGRETS!!! The restful sleep I’ve gotten has already paid for them, definitely worth every penny!!!!" —Jamie Waybright

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available with one-sided or double-sided cooling, in packs of one or two, and sizes standard through king; also available as a body or camping pillow). 

Heads up: This does have a gentle glowing LED light to let you know it's on and has water in its tank, so if you are someone who needs your room to be full blackout, you may want to position it away from your direct line of sight or place it slightly out of view.

Promising review: "I did A LOT OF SEARCHING AND RESEARCH ONLINE FOR a cool mist humidifier for my son's room. I have had so many of the 'old ones' that needed replacement filters. Not for me anymore, they are expensive, a pain to find and just gross! This humidifier is perfect. Just the right size, makes NO NOISE, VERY EASY TO CLEAN! and EASY to fill. One fill up will last one and a half nights. No more morning dry throats or nosebleeds. And it is a cool shape and color!" —Denise M. Wajnowski

Get it on Amazon for $44.99 (available in eight colors). 

This set comes with six essential oil blends: marjoram and eucalyptus, jasmine and vanilla, orange and lavender, peppermint and basil, lavender and chamomile, and rosemary and eucalyptus. 

Heads up: 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 got this to pair with a new essential oil diffuser and it works great! Tons of options for whatever mood you’re in. I use mine while I work or before bed. Definitely helps to wind down and relax!" —Amanda

Promising review: "When it comes to sleep, this product is a game changer!!!! I am not pregnant BUT I have always struggled with sleeping comfortably due to chronic pain — fibromyalgia and herniated discs issues. After making this purchase, I am FINALLY able to sleep comfortably all night!!! Plus, it’s super soft!!!! Very happy with this AMAZING product." —Ashley

You'll get one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough about this product. I have insomnia along with hot and cold flashes because of being in menopause. Ever since I got these sheets I have not woken up sweating or throwing off my blankets. With these sheets I am guaranteed a good night's sleep. I told my sister about these sheets and she said they were all she uses. They feel like real silk too. It’s worth the investment!" —Sara K. Kumpf

If you use this as a body mist, avoid contact with your eyes.

Fun fact! Asutra is a woman-owned wellness brand (and co-owned by Venus Williams) that makes self-care products. Think calming aromatherapy, bedtime essentials, and feel-good body care designed for when your nervous system is doing the absolute most. 

Promising review: "I have been having trouble sleeping and get very bad migraines, so I decided to try some type of aromatherapy. I have been using this for a week, and the first night, I sprayed the room, and noticed the scent was very pleasant and soothing, so I proceeded to spray my pillows and even did a body mist. I woke up the next morning and realized I actually slept a full five hours, (I often wake up every other hour). I did this every night and was very relaxed and sleeping great. My migraines haven't been as bad or as frequent, but last night I forgot to spray my pillow and couldn't sleep and woke up with migraine. I am not sure if it's all in my mind, but I do know, that when I do use this spray, I am very relaxed and able to sleep better when I use it at home. I have ordered more, so I won't run out." —Linda Tabarez

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this exact tower fan: "LET ME TELL YOU: It comes in clutch. And not only in the summer, but year-round — in the winter, this thing keeps us from burning up once our ~overzealous~ radiator kicks on (New Yorkers know). So yeah, our Dreo fan works pretty much 365 days a year and has been going strong since summer 2023. It keeps me cool at night, it's quiet, and the night mode is super handy because it turns off the LED display quickly if you need to adjust the speed during the night. You can mute the little beeping sounds with the remote too if needed."

Promising review: "I am a very light sleeper and am sensitive to noise and light. I had a fan from another company that started making a ticking noise. I bought this one after reading how quiet it was. This fan is amazingly quiet! I had it on the lowest speed and it was a very nice speed for sleeping. The display goes completely black so there are no lights to keep you awake. There are nine different speeds, and number nine is strong but not noisy. The oscillating seems to have a larger span than my previous fan. Very satisfied so far and would highly recommend." —cs

Promising review: "I love the scent after a long day. They have helped me calm my mind before bed. I suffer with severe anxiety and depression and these have helped a lot with me going to sleep, I usually take a couple of hours and after using these I go to sleep within the hour. I am very pleased and have already bought my best friend some and she loves them!" —Sophia

Promising review: "Honestly a great deal. I’ve been drinking the original Sleepytime for 31 years (since I was 4). I should honestly win some type of lifetime achievement award or something haha. It’s not only a part of my bedtime routine, but genuinely a part of my night that I enjoy still to this day. It smells amazing, has a flavor that is great and palatable for even new tea drinkers (it’s not overly dark or strong), and just gives you a warm sleepy hug at the end of the night. As someone with insomnia, I rarely skip this step, and even if it doesn’t knock me out with just this step alone, it certainly helps. I recommend this to anyone even remotely on the fence." —Kat

Promising review: "I’m a 33-year-old woman with anxiety and insomnia. I’m not ashamed to admit that stuffed animals help when I’m trying to sleep or calm down. This weighted stuffie is probably the favorite one I have now. He is soft, cute, and the perfect size and weight for an adult. I think this is worth every penny. It’s sturdy and think it’ll last a long time. I like that the weighted insert can be removed in order to wash the shell. I would like to get more soon." —Nique

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 13 animal designs).

Promising review: "I haven’t written in it yet but I just got it an hour ago and flipped a few pages and I’m already excited to write in it. I have trouble sleeping, anxiety and OCD so jotting my words and thoughts down will help me ease up a bit. Getting a self-care journal is worth it if it’ll help you make space for beautiful thoughts in your head. Affordable and it came in pristine condition." —Mark Narvaez

Promising review: "This product is one of the best purchases I’ve made out of non-necessities. I’ve been having trouble sleeping and was at my wits end. I’ve tried weighted blankets, sleeping medicine, I’ve done it all. Searching on Amazon for the next sleep aid, I came across this. It had such good reviews that I figured, why not! I’ve had it about a week now and have slept better than I have in a long time. It’s comfortable and warm and makes me feel safe and secure. If you struggle with sleep anxiety or ADHD sleep problems, this product just might be what you need." —Kelly Thom

Get if from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 18 styles, including a longer length, plus full-zip and quarter-zip options).

Promising review: "I've been struggling with bouts of insomnia and an erratic sleep schedule. I loved having it at my desk with soft colorful ambient lighting and soothing sounds during the day. It was easy to set up the sunrise alarm, and I was very optimistic! I am a hard sleeper and haven't had a proper alarm in years. I just woke up 15 minutes into sunrise, and the brilliant light really kicks the circadian rhythm into gear! I was so pleased that I put my head back down smiling. Haha. I'm up though, and the snooze effect was a surprise I'd forgotten about. I remembered how to turn it off and away I go!" —AW

Promising review: "Exactly as pictured!! We love so much and my husband said he had the best sleep since middle school. Also love that it’s cotton and linen, hard to find a good comforter like this. Not to mention it’s gorgeous! Would 100% recommend." —Carlie Aucoin
