Finding the ideal product to improve your sleep is often exciting and a little overwhelming at the same time. Whether it’s a need to improve the level of noise, light, relaxation or comfort, there are countless products designed to help.
Each of the reviews below will help you learn about the most popular products currently available. Hopefully you’ll find the right solution to any problems, or simply find something which makes your nightly sleep that little bit better.
White noise machines
White noise machines are the ideal combination of sound masking and relaxation. They can block out a surprisingly wide range of sounds – anything from television to traffic. And with extra features like responsive volume control and multiple soundscapes, you can always find the perfect sound to fall asleep to.
Sleep headphones
If you enjoy listening to music in bed, then some sleep-phones can allow you to do so comfortably. And if you need to block out unwanted sounds, then you have the option of upgrading to some high-tech noise cancelling headphones.
Wake-Up Lights
If you struggle to wake up or get out of bed during on the dark winter mornings, or just find your alarm clock wakes you with an unpleasant jolt, a wake-up light could help. With a sunrise simulation on your bedside table, you can wake up slowly and naturally, hopefully feeling more refreshed and ready to face the day.
Pillow speakers
Pillow speakers are another good option for listening to music, talk shows or television at night. If you don’t like using headphones and don’t want to disturb your partner by playing music from a stereo, then an under-pillow speaker works well as an alternative.
Earplugs
Earplugs are one of the simplest and best ways to block out noise at night. Whether it’s a partner snoring, traffic or a neighbor’s music, the right earplugs can make all the difference. These reviews will help you find the perfect combination of sound blocking and comfort.
Over the counter sleep aids
Find out which sleep aids are available to buy without a prescription, and which type is most likely to suit your needs. Usually based on either melatonin or anti-histamines, the effects can be very different from one sleep aid to the next. So these reviews will help you find one which is strong enough to help you sleep but won’t leave you feeling groggy all of the following day.
Air mattresses
Whether you’re camping, having guests over or staying somewhere yourself temporarily, an air mattress is a convenient way to magic a bed from nowhere. Not to mention much cheaper than a normal bed! The design has come a long way over the years, and you can now find air beds which won’t let you down in any sense of the word.
Sleep masks
If light is an issue for you at night or when traveling long distance, a good sleep mask can make all the difference. And at the end of a long day an eye mask with a cooling section or ergo-beads can provide a little relief and relaxation. From the simple to the ultra-comfortable, acupressure to aromatherapy you’ll find just the right one for your needs.
Travel pillows
It’s never much fun waking up on a long journey to realize you’ve been sleeping in a bad position. With a good quality travel pillow though you can avoid the pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Not only that but it can help you relax and fall asleep in the first place.
Acupressure mats
The acupressure mat may not be a dedicated sleep product, but it perhaps should be. Combining Eastern practice with western design, it helps reduce stress, alleviate tension and promotes sleep.
