A Hatch Rest 2 if you want to bring a touch of champagne era to your sleep routine by introducing an all-in-one sound machine and night-light. You can set a schedule or change it up by choosing your particular flavor of wind-down lights and music each night from an app on your phone.
Promising review: "These sound machines are pretty darn amazing. The way you can set up a rise schedule has changed my morning, and they can get loud and block out noise without being harsh on the ears. They are easy to program and I love the light and clock on there. There are lots of sound options even if you aren't willing to pay for the pro plan (which I'm not) and they are so easy to use. The only annoying thing was setting them up was a little bit of a pain in the beginning. Once you're connected to the phone it is smooth sailing and I've been sleeping like a baby ever since. Highly recommend. It is very worth the money." —KTraverPrice: $59.99
A splurge-worthy smart Oura Ring Gen 4 that can track steps, sleep, and *so* much more, making it a great alternative to that one watch if you want movement and sleep data without the bulk of a wrist device. Plus, this adjusts your movement goals to your sleep data, so if you had a not-so-great night, it calibrates accordingly. (A WIN IS A WIN.)
I've had my Gen 3 for about a month, and I can absolutely say it is WORTH IT. I never bonded with smart watches, but this is so sleek and unobtrusive, I've really loved having it. The app is easy to navigate and the data is truly astounding. I love seeing how much deep sleep I've gotten but also that the tech adjusts your activity goals to match the good (or not so good) sleep you got the night before. You *do* need a subscription to access most of the features after the first month, but reviewers (AND ME) attest that it's worth it!Promising review: "Best sleep tracker. I'm new to Oura ring. I always assumed I wouldn't see any value in wearing one as an Apple Watch user. While some metrics are still calibrating, I'm impressed by the depth of the insights and recommendations compared to my watch. I'm also pleased with the battery life." —Jacob MPrice: $349+ (available in ring sizes 4–15 and in six finishes)
A 6-inch Kindle that's a new TikTok fave and Amazon's lightest, most compact e-reader yet. This is truly a WONDERFUL size if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night and want some e-ink screen time instead of glaring-bright-white-light-in-your-dark-room screen time. (Ask me how I know.)
Here is one of my most FAVORITE cozy creators on TikTok talking about why she loves her new lil' Kindle (and in particular for middle-of-the-night wakings)!Promising review: "I love physical books, but as a working mom of four ( one being a baby), I wanted something I could throw into my bag and go. That was compact and charged well. I absolutely love my new Kindle. I'm on my fifth book this week!!!" —MamaoffourPrice: $109.99
A collared pajama set so you can be your most comfy self when slipping into bed.
Promising review: "Love these pajamas because of the super soft and stretchy fabric. The cropped legs are perfect for petites too. I have the red, navy and black ones. They wash well too!" —VeronicaPrice: $21 (originally $30; available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors)

A weighted knit blanket reviewers swear is the snuggle companion of dreams in weight, softness, and cuteness.
Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.Promising reviews: "Oh this is so plush at the fraction of some more big box stores selling them for way more. Its weighted but not uncomfortable which is why I love it, it doesn't feel like its crushing you. Anthro looks at target price? Win win! Buy it, you wont regret it!" —Hols"This is the 3rd weighted blanket I have tried and by far my favorite. Compared to traditional weighted blankets, the knitted design is elegant. It's not only functional, but a statement piece. The flexible knitted design also provides even weight distribution across my entire body creating a hugging sensation that prevents me from tossing and turning throughout the night. Unlike blankets filled with beads, this one is virtually silent as you move it. There are no distracting rusting sounds, allowing for uninterrupted sleep. Thanks to the knit pattern, this blanket also excels at temperature regulation and not trapping excessive heat. This blanket is fit for all seasons. My favorite feature is that it is perfectly oversized which gives me the freedom to sleep in any position i find comfortable while still enjoying the pressure of the blanket. The only drawback I've noticed is the light color, which makes me a bit more cautious about potential stains, especially since there's no removable cover. However, with proper care, I'm confident this blanket will continue to be a staple in my nightly routine." —JuliaPrice: $105 (available in two colors)
A box of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra tea I *always* have in my cabinet because it tastes like bedtime. Sometimes, I think our human brains just need a repetitive routine to tell our bodies IT'S BEDTIME, and this is certainly part of mine.
Promising review: "This is a perfect turn down tea. It relaxes me, and puts me in a lights out zone." —Sexysiren74Price: $5.49
An itty bitty Nanit sound machine obviously perfect for parents, but also: I have taken this from my "kid travel kit" for my own uses. And those uses are I'm gonna take a cozy nap or read my cozy book and I don't wanna hear my neighbors doing yard work while it happens. This one is perfectly sized, too, so if you're not keen on having a big machine permanently on your nightstand, this one can be easily tidied away.
I got the Nanit traveling bundle for taking my preschooler out on overnight adventures (which absolutely should be in any small-children-havers cart) and quickly grew enamored with the Polly Pocket-ness of the sound machine, and now even my kiddo calls it "Mama's good friend." I use it for naps or for white noise buffer if I'm working in my office and joyful-but-loud chaos is happening with my son and partner outside the doors. Price: $79.99 (originally $99.99)
A cotton top mattress pad to give your mattress a little protection and a whole lot of fluff. If you're on the brink of needing a new mattress but aren't quite ready to crack open the piggy bank, this might extend the life (and your comfort!) a surprising amount.
Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this mattress pad! It's a little puffy, and feels like a treat to sleep on below cotton sheets. My Temperpedic mattress sleeps very warm, and this pad provides a solution with the cotton covering. Very pleasant and cooling!" —ChiChi"This mattress pad fits my king size bed great. It washed up and dried nicely. The filling will add an extra level of comfort to my sleeping experience. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!" —Mimito5Price: $45.99+ (originally $64.99+, available in sizes twin–California king and in three colors)
