Melatonin
I’ve gone through a few bottles of this over time. If you’re looking for a more natural remedy, this OTC one is worth a shot. I’ve tried numerous treatments for insomnia but there are few that I repeat at the end of the bottle. I’ve read it’s not a g...
Biote® Best Night Sleep
Sleepwear
100% Cotton PJ’s are a must
Always check the tag for the fabric for 100% cotton- no blends. Blends can cause night sweats which disrupts sleep. VS always has a great selection of desirable choices of pj’s.

Tempur-Pedic
We chose this Sealy for a few reasons.

I own one of these pillows and it truly is a nice hug for your neck and head. It is formed and specially contoured for ergonomic reasons. I think it’s the most comfortable pillow I’ve ever had. I swap between my seely and this one but all in all, I’d...
We keep the temperature set to 68-72 depending on the outside temperature. Using a thermostat that is programmable is a smart way to save money on your bills. Even a few degrees makes a difference in your electric bill. Believe it or not.

Brown Noise Sound Machine with 30 Sounds & Night Light
Dim the lights!
We own a couple of these masks. They are silky soft and are fantastic for blocking out light for daytime naps or shift work. They don’t press on eyelashes either. Very well made and extremely comfortable.
