Sleep aids
I’ve tried all the wind-down hacks and bedtime routines, but sometimes I just need something that will knock me out. These are my go-to sleep aids that help turn my brain off.
I don’t use these often, but when I really can’t fall asleep, Unisom is my emergency backup.
Unisom SleepGels
Best CBD sleep gummies I’ve tried. They help me fall asleep and stay asleep. FYI: Lazarus offers an awesome assistance program. (As always, check with your provider to see if they’re right for you).
Lazarus Naturals CBD+CBN Sleep Gummies
These help me relax without feeling groggy in the morning. Taste good too!

These are the sleep products that made a real difference for me – NOT the trendy fluff, but the ones that helped me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. I’ve tested a lot, and this list is what earned a permanent spot in my rotation as a tired ...
Mouth taping sounds weird, but it’s seriously helped with my jaw clenching and dry mouth at night. I use this medical tape instead of the branded kind because's cheaper, just as good, and super gentle on the skin.

It's a splurge item for sure, but I'm a hot sleeper, side sleeper, and have sensitive skin so I needed something breathable, adjustable, and washable.

Bedding
These actually live up to the hype. I’m a hot sleeper and these sheets are crisp and soft. They somehow get better after every wash too!
Brooklinen Classic Percale Fitted Sheet
As a side sleeper with neck and shoulder pain, I used to go through pillows constantly. This one’s soft but supportive and has held up for almost two years.
Casper Original Pillow
My husband and I bought separate twin-size weighted blankets for our king bed and we’re never going back. It’s breathable and the weight is calming without making you overheat. Tip: aim for 10% of your body weight!
Cooling Weighted Blanket (Breathable Bamboo)
Ambiance
This section includes the background players that make my happy place feel zen. Think of this as my bedroom vibe checklist for better rest!
We got this for our daughter... then bought one for ourselves. It uses real air, not a looped track, and blocks out everything from traffic to hotel hallway noise. My #1 sleep must-have!
Dohm® Classic Sound Machine
This made a big difference in how fresh our bedroom feels. We have one in almost every room now. It’s quiet and filters well. Perfect for allergy season too.
Blue Pure 311i Max Air Purifier
Tiny LED lights used to drive me crazy at night. These stickers are a small fix that make a huge difference. They dim or block out those little glows so your room stays dark.
Light Blocking Stickers for Electronics (4 Sheets)
I’ve had this for over 8 years and still love it. The warm, low glow is perfect for winding down before bed. It’s held up great, just had to swap out the bulb a couple of times.
Spantik Himalayan Salt Lamp with Massage Balls
No MLM snake oil, just pure essential oils produced in Oregon.
