I have had insomnia for years and have tested most of this at my own expense. Sorted by what is actually keeping you awake — light, temperature, noise, or a brain that will not stop. Not medical advice; see a doctor if it is chronic. (Note: This list...
CBD with melatonin, third-party tested. Check with your doctor if you take other medication.
CBD Sleep Gummies with CBN & THC
Broad spectrum with no THC, which matters if you are drug tested at work.
CBD Softgels (10mg, 25mg, 50mg &100mg)
USDA-certified organic and lab-tested per batch. Sublingual works faster than gummies.
Aspen Green
Gentle weight across the eyes instead of pressure round the head. No strap to tangle in your hair.
nodpod Patented Weighted Gentle Sleep Mask
Ten dollars and comfortable enough to forget. Start here before spending more.
Alaska Bear Silk Sleep Mask with Shaped Pad
Weighted around the eyes, which some people find calming. Try the cheap one first.
Soft enough to lie on all night. Higher noise reduction than the reusable silicone ones.
Alpine SleepDeep Reusable Earplugs for Sleeping
The highest noise reduction rating available. Cheap enough to keep a bag by the bed.
Mack's Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, 50 Pair
Masks noise rather than cancelling it, which works better for snoring.
Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™
Ten fan sounds and no looping, which is what makes cheap machines annoying.
Adaptive Sound Technologies LectroFan EVO
Two alarms a few minutes apart so you surface gently. No phone needed by the bed.
Loftie Clock
Simulated sunrise over thirty minutes. Genuinely helps in dark winter mornings.
SmartSleep Éveil Lumière HF3531/01
Water-cooled mattress pad down to 55F. Expensive and the best thing here for hot sleepers.
