When I’m feeling nostalgic, I think back to the days when staying up late was a rite of passage. I resented my 7 o’clock bedtime and hoped against hope that my parents would let me stay up just a couple more hours. Even as a college student, all-nighters were the norm and forgoing sleep felt like the only way to have a social life. Well, needless to say that I, along with many of you, no longer want to function on too few hours sleep a night. We’re big fans of sleep around here and will try almost anything to ensure we’re getting at least 8 hours a night. That’s why I rounded up my favorite products to help me sleep—here’s hoping they let you get some restorative shut-eye, too.
From shutting the phone down a few hours before bedtime to keeping the bedroom cool to eating a light dinner, (and, of course, wearing breathable pajamas) we have our evening routines on lock. But what happens when your body or mind just won’t let you fall asleep? Thanks to a lot of testing (re: sleepless nights), I’ve got the answers. 10 to be exact.
From calm-inducing capsules to relaxing pillow mists and the most luxurious sleep mask you’ve ever slipped on, these are my tried-and-true products that’ll help us all ease into a peaceful slumber. As always, consult your physician if you have specific needs or questions!
