| The comforter that will best keep you feeling warm and cozy in the colder seasons isn't always the one that you want during those hot summer months. However, we don't all have room to store multiple cover options in our closets. That's where this two-in-one set comes in. It comes with a standard comforter (as well as pillowcases and shams) and a soft blanket that can be easily attached to boost its coziness and warmth. Use code TODAY to score 30% off the set until 3/18. |

According to sleep expert Dr. Wendy Troxel, to help prevent pain and make it easier to fall asleep, your pillow ideally should keep your neck in neutral alignment — so it's not tilting forward or back — and shouldn't be overly firm or soft. Because this pillow is adjustable, it can be customized to meet your needs. Commerce writer Danielle Murphy vouches for it, describing it as "truly a Goldilocks product." Score 30% off with code TODAY until 3/18! |

| Clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris says that she loves a sunrise alarm clock, and Hatch, in particular, is a great option. The screen-free alarm clock not only helps you wake up gently with a gradual light and non-jarring sounds, but it also supports your natural circadian rhythm with a nighttime routine that quiets your mind for deeper sleep. Be sure to also check out the Hatch Baby, which took home our award for "best aesthetic alarm clock"! |

"Earplugs can help reduce nighttime disturbances and protect sleep continuity and quality," explains Troxel. And while there are a number of earplugs out there, Loop is a top pick among our editors. Thankfully, Loop's plugs deliver 24 dB (SNR) of noise reduction and come with four different ear tip sizes that you can swap out to find your best fit, per the brand. |

| Take your beauty sleep to the next level with this award-winning lip mask. It features PDRN and 3D collagen, which the brand says helps to restore hydration and elasticity. And editor and producer Julie Ricevuto says that it makes her lips "baby soft." "It's thick and glossy, which I love putting on before bed because I wouldn't necessarily want something so thick during the day," she adds. |

Looking for a nightcap that won't wreak havoc on your sleep? This pre-bedtime latte may be just what you need. The caffeine- and dairy-free mix features ingredients like ashwagandha, reishi, L-theanine and more. When she's up late tossing and turning, deputy managing editor Jess Bender says a "'sleepytime' sip, like this latte, does just the trick." |

| If you want your space to support a good night's rest, sleep expert Andrew Colsky tells us that your bedroom ideally should be "dark, quiet, cool and comfortable." He adds, "Darkness helps your brain release melatonin, so use blackout curtains if you can." Of the blackout curtains we tested, this claimed our top spot. Bender says that they're extremely effective at blocking light — so much so that during peak daylight hours, when you may be able to see a little bit of light coming through, it feels more like dusk in her apartment. |

Editor Vivien Moon fell in love with these sheets from the first time she slept on them a few years ago — and she still swears by them to this day. "They've been washed countless times and never lose their softness, which is so wonderful," she shares. "I am truly in love with these sheets and have not been disappointed with them once." |
| | |
| This light is designed to mimic the sun, shifting from bright in the morning to warmer and dimmer in the evenings, which the brand says encourages your body to release melatonin and ease you into sleep. Associate editor Lauren Witonsky says the light has given her home a "warm, cozy and inviting," feeling that she doesn't get from the harsh overhead lights. "As for whether these lights 'nudge your body to release melatonin,' I accidentally fell asleep on my couch for the first time while using them," she shares. |

There's nothing better than a warm soak at the end of the day. Just ask Garlin. "A relaxing bath really helps me wind down after a long day," she shares. And her secret to taking soaks to the next level? This treatment. It features ingredients like magnesium, vitamins A and E and l-carnitine and has a sweet and floral yuzu scent. "This, combined with a hot tub and dim lights? A blissful night of sleep," Garlin says. |

| Consider this an overnight cream for your body: Just apply it before bed and the brand says that it will help visibly tighten, tone and lift skin, thanks to ingredients like retinol and magnesium. When you use the code TODAY, you can save 30% across the Nakery site until March 18. |

Not only is Ollie the orangutan a particularly cute snuggling companion for both adults and kids, he can also be a soothing tool for your sleep routine. The plush is both microwaveable and freezer-safe, so it can deliver targeted heat or cooling wherever you need it. It's also weighted for an additional comforting sensation. While Ollie is particularly cute, the brand also offers sloth, bat and sea turtle versions. |
