Oura Ring Gen 4 "If you’re serious about biohacking, you need data. I prefer the Oura Gen 4 because it’s much slimmer than the older versions and the sleep tracking is incredibly accurate. It doesn't just tell you that you slept, it tells you why you...

Most weighted blankets are just too hot. But this hand knitted one from nearby is a game changer because of the airflow. It feels like a big, grounding hug that shuts of my racing mind an night. If you struggle with anxiety or restless legs this is ...

I've tried the cheap flat masks, but it feels like my eyeballs are being crushed. Or they let light in around my nose. This mask cups your eyes so you can actually blink when wearing it. It's 100 percent blackout even if your partner likes to read wi...

Don't confuse these with the clear 'computer glasses' you see everywhere. These amber lenses are specifically for the 2 3 hours before bed. They signal to your brain that it’s nighttime, even if you’re finishing some work or watching Netflix. I notic...

I call this 'sleep in a bottle.' Most people are magnesium deficient, and spraying it directly on your skin (I usually do my legs or stomach) helps it absorb faster than a pill. It relaxes your muscles almost instantly. It can tingle a bit the first ...

This is the all in one for a reason. It combines a sound machine, a smart light, and a diffuser. You can program a 'wind-down' routine through the app that starts with a dim red glow and the smell of lavender. It’s like having a high-end spa right o...

I’m a side sleeper and a 'hot sleeper,' which is a bad combo for most pillows. The Lagoon Otter is adjustable, so you can take out some of the fill to get the height perfect. The gel-infused foam actually stays cool to the touch all night, so you are...

White noise is okay, but 'Brown noise' is much deeper and more relaxing think of a low rumble of a distant thunderstorm. This machine is way better than using your phone speaker. It masks outside traffic or noisy neighbors perfectly without that tinn...

I use this for 10 minutes every evening while I’m winding down. Red light therapy is great for skin, but for sleep, it helps regulate your circadian rhythm. It’s much more effective than just warm light bulbs. It’s a bit of a splurge, but your recove...

Besides looking great, the warm orange glow is the perfect low stress light for the bedroom. I keep mine on the lowest setting for about an hour before bed. It creates a calm environment that's much better for your eyes than overhead LED lights.

I know it looks crazy, but mouth taping is the biggest trend for a reason. It forces you to breathe through your nose, which improves oxygen intake and stops snoring. Since I started using these, I wake up with zero dry mouth and way more energy. The...

Sometimes you can't sleep because your brain won't shut up about tomorrow's to do list. I use this journal for a 'brain dump' right before I turn off the lights. It’s a simple analog habit that makes a huge difference in how quickly your mind settles...
