Sleep is an extremely essential part of your life. After all, humans spend around a third of their life sleeping – that’s about 26 years on average! 

With that much time spent in bed, it’s important that you spend it comfortably (even luxuriously) since it impacts your life so much. 

Having trouble sleeping? 

You’re not alone. Around 10-30% of Americans struggle with insomnia, and luckily many of them recover. 

If you’re struggling with sleep, there are a few things you can do to help you wind down at the end of the day and get a peaceful night of rest: 

  • Minimize your screen time – blue light from electronic devices can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm. If you have to look at a screen, use an app that reduces the amount of blue light exposure. 
  • Set a routine before bed. Whether that means a warm shower, a cup of herbal tea, or simply reading a book, a routine will let your body know it’s time to wind down and relax. 
  • Go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. 
  • Avoid caffeine after 2 pm (or switch to decaf). 
  • Create a restful environment. It’s important that you have a quiet, dark, and cool room that is peaceful and clean. A comfortable bed is also essential to getting great quality sleep. 

Below, we’ve compiled a list of sleep accessories that will help you drift off seamlessly to dreamland: everything from bedding to tech to beauty products to pamper yourself. Transform your bedroom into a haven and treat yourself!
