Good sleep hygiene has been a huge goal of mine since the start of nursing, and these are just some items that have helped me to sleep easier at night.
I wouldn’t skimp on this product. This is the best sleep mask I’ve ever tried. The weight is perfect, not to light or heavy, and makes me fall asleep so much faster.
Another game changer. The weight helps to get rid of the post shift anxiety and helps me to fall asleep so quickly

As someone who sleeps fetal position and needs a body pillow for help with pain in my lower back and legs after long shifts, a body pillow has been essential in reducing stiffness and soreness!

Honestly any sound machine/ alarm clock will work, but the hatch has been my favourite. The different lights and sounds help me to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up so much more easy than just a traditional phone alarm

I have an adjustable bed frame and love it. I can sit up in bed propped up on my actual matress, I can do zero gravity, and adjust certain parts of my matress to relieve pressure on my joints. I would highly recommend.

As a warm sleeper, these sheets are thin enough to be airy, but are thick enough, good quality and soft.
