BRB, gotta pick between a weighted dragon and a weighted chicken as my new optimal sleeping companion.
1. A box of sleep earplugs designed specifically to be comfortable for sleeping and to block out the dog barking next door, your own dog snoring beside you, car horns, and all that annoying, not the vibe ambient sounds keeping you from super deep sleep.
Target
Promising review:"Love how affordable and effective these are. I keep these in my travel bag and they've been life savers since I'm a light sleeper." — Tt
2. A clip-on LED reading light because everyone knows too much screen time can be a bummer for your sleep hygiene, so why not chuck the phone in favor of this handy light attached to that new BookTok book everyone is talking about?
Target
Promising review:"Love it! I use this almost every day for about 30 minutes before bed. I appreciate that it has various levels of brightness, and the neck can bend in any direction. Super handy if you're a nighttime reader!" — ladylove123
3. A microgel down alternative pillow if your old pillow is looking (and feeling!) a little worse for wear. This one is medium firm and the microgel will hold its shape over time so that you can come back again and again to your new perfect neck setup.
Target
Promising review:"Some of the best pillows I've owned so far. I love how the packaging has a meter on it as well. These pillows bounce back unlike any other pillow. I've slept on. For $15 each this is definitely a bargain." — oreofox22
4. And a Kitsch satin pillowcase which can help prevent hair breakage and uncomfortable fabric bunches that can contribute to fine lines, but is also ~super~ cooling. If you've ever wished for someone to always have a cool side of the pillow, time to return the favor to your own human self!
Target
Promising review:"This pillowcase is amazing! I love that it has a zip closure so the pillow stays in place." — Cat Mom
5. An ESW Beauty sheet mask duo set perfect for helping you unwind. If you are having trouble sleeping because the pressures of the day are weighing on your shoulders and brain, maybe try unwinding with a luxurious self-care moment.
Target
Promising reviews:"Absolutely loving this set! The formulas are top-notch, and they include some of my all-time favorites in one convenient bundle. They stick really well, too, and don't dry out quickly. I was super excited to find these masks at my Target!" — Brit
"I grabbed a few of these sheet masks for our monthly girls' night, and everyone loved them! The masks delivered a gorgeous glow, making our night even more special. Plus, the ingredients definitely feel way more premium than any other sheet masks I've tried in the past." — Katie
6. A two-pack of ultra cozy crew socks I bought so aggressively because the colors are downright magical and I cannot stress enough how soft they are. I'm usually a "hates to wear socks to bed" kinda gal, but *these* are an exception. Frozen toes no more!
Target
Promising review:"Best socks by far!! I love the length, thickness, and quality! Don't hesitate, just buy! The colors are soo cute too!" — Alicia K
7. A vanilla introvert candle if some cozy unwind vibes are just what the Target doctor ordered to help get your space in the right ~ ambiance ~ for optimal sleeping.
Target
Promising reviews:"I love this scent, introvert. When I leave it on a few hours in my room, it definitely leaves the room smelling wonderful without it being overwhelming." — Dp28
" MY FAV CANDLE!!! So cozy and the smell fills my bedroom. 🙏💕" — lilli m
8. A set of soft double-brushed sheets to help you slip into a new year of self-care and cozy sleep hygiene. You know what *doesn't* help you drift off? Itchy or worn sheets that have little snags and tears that are going to irritate you.
Target
Promising review:"The double brushed microfiber feel makes all the difference! These are seriously like butter. Super soft and warm but also light. I got a set for my bed and one for my son. These are a great buy to keep a couple of extras around so me they are so affordable." — Marissa
9. A four-pack of Uniball gel pens because hear me out: how often have you been almost asleep and then remembered *that one thing* you forgot to do? Well, we might not be able to stop that from happening, but you *can* stop yourself from obsessing over it for hours by writing it down for your morning self to deal with!
Target
Don't forget to grab a hardcover journal so you can jot notes easily from bed!
Price: $6.49
10. An Ototo tulip tea infuser because if your fave loose-leaf tea helps tell your brain it's time for sleep, this super cute infuser will be a welcome addition to your bedtime routine.
Target
You *know* I'm a longtime Ototo fan, because why not have your kitchen and home products go the extra mile in quality and whimsy?
Promising review:"This is just darling! I love it so much! It's super easy to use. It's silicone so it's easy to open and fill, and easy clean afterwards also. But it's really just a great little happy for your tea mug, and we all need that!" — Meme
11. A sweater pajama tank top I ~personally~ own in every color because these are my ideal sleeping situation: Warm and cozy but no annoying long sleeves to lightly strangle my arms at night.
Target
Promising review:"I saw these in the store and they looked so cozy! It is a very soft knit, light weight, but also keeps me very warm. Love that this comes as a set, and the top is kinda a crop, can wear with high waisted styles (I would also wear it as an undershirt or out and about). I bought a matching set for my daughter and more colors online. Wish they had even more!" — Programmer4Life
12. 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.
Target
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." — KTraver
13. A five-pack of self-heating eye masks so you can catch some warm shuteye no matter where your adventures take you. (Even if those adventures are just crawling into your own bed at the end of a long day.)
Target
Promising review:"I use starry eyes when I travel, perfect to relax and have a rested sleep on my business journies. The heat from these masks is so soothing on my eyes. I also use it if I have a headache to take the strain off my eyes. Definitely the best heated masks!!!" — Target Customer
Price: $24.49
14. Or a reusable silk eye mask to make sure that no matter the light situation in your room, you'll be sure to get some excellent shuteye. (And what is life for if not to pursue the best naps?)
Target
Promising review:"Best sleeping mask. I am a very light sleeper and super sensitive with light and harsh fabric . These are so perfect I bought the grey one. Even ordered some for my friends and family. Also these are real SILK, not polyester satin." — Vz
15. 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.)
Target
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 M
16. A portable space heater perfect for anti-cold gremlins who want to heat up their bedroom to their ideal sleeping temp without roasting their entire home.
Target
Promising reviews:"Fantastic product for small spaces. My central heat broke and this saved the day! Highly recommend." — Sima
"Great for a small space. I like that it stops once off the floor, great safety feature. Doesn't take too much space." — N A
Price: $44.99
17. 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.)
Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed
18. A collared pajama set so you can be your most comfy self when slipping into bed.
Target
20. A bag of Dr. Teal's Epsom salt sleep soak, which belongs by the bathtub of any sleep-lover keen on perfecting their shuteye conditions. This salt smells divine, and with a blend of lavender, chamomile, and melatonin, it *may* just help make you feel a little calmer before bedtime.
Target
21. A weighted knit blanket reviewers swear is the snuggle companion of dreams in weight, softness, and cuteness.
Target

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." — Julia
22. 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.
Target
23. 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 winter nap or read my cozy book and I don't wanna hear my neighbors blowing leaves 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 for fall travels) 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.
24. 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.
Target
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!" — Mimito5
25. And finally, a weighted dragon plush perfect for kids and adults who want a comforting, plush presence to cuddle.
Target
Read more about their weighted blanket cousins and how they help with sleep from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"He is so cute!! This little dragon is a great sleeping buddy and he's just right, not too heavy, not too light! Honestly he's so good I would contemplate buying a different too!! Great for side sleepers not just little kids!" — Kimberly
Price: $20 (also available as a dinosaur, a pegasus, a chicken, and more!)

The LeapMove is a gamified camera designed to get kids off the couch

LeapFrog has announced a new electronic learning system that swaps controllers for a camera. In fact, the LeapMove looks like an oversized, kid-friendly webcam, but is designed to connect to TVs like a console and get kids off the couch using educational games that require full-body movements to play. It's reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect or the PlayStation 2's EyeToy, but simpler and much cheaper than competitors' products like the $249 Nex Playground. The LeapMove will be available through retailers including Target, Walmart, and Amazon for $69.99, and comes with 25 motion-based games designed for kids aged 4 to 7. It might be hard to pull the older end of that demographic away from games like Roblox, Among Us, and even Fortnite, but in addition to motion detection, the LeapMove uses its camera to make players appear as themselves or 'whimsical characters' in several games, which may appeal to younger kids. The games cover 'foundational school subjects' including math, reading, and spelling, and require players to do everything from dancing around to waving their arms and even attempting to catch on-screen objects. The LeapMove connects to a TV over HDMI, and instead of rechargeable batteries it needs access to a power outlet. It can be used either sitting beneath a TV or perched atop it like a webcam using a fold-out support. LeapFrog says additional games will be made available for the LeapMove at a later date, which can be loaded by connecting the device to a computer and using the company's LeapFrog Connect desktop app. They won't be free, but unlike the Nex Playground, the LeapMove doesn't come with any subscription fees. Parents concerned about privacy, particularly with devices that rely heavily on a camera, may appreciate that the LeapMove has no wireless connectivity. In 2018, VTech, LeapFrog's parent company, agreed to settle for a $650,000 fine after the FTC alleged it collected kids' personal information, including names, emails, and genders, through its KidiConnect mobile app. The LeapMove is completely standalone and keeps track of up to three players' progress locally.

29 Hilarious Signs From July That Will Make You Laugh So Hard You'll Forget Fall Is Almost Here

July is ending, and I can hardly believe it! Every week, we scour the funniest signs from Reddit to bring you a little pause in the day for some top-tier comedy. And, now, we've decided to round up all the ones you couldn't get enough of from the entire month for some extra laughs. So, here are 29 signs you loved in July, and what our BuzzFeed readers had to say about them: 1."The Raccoon was the best.

I say this as a native English speaker. We have so many dumb rules and contradictions that make no sense. Countries should be pronounced like Count - trees because ou sounds like OW like house or out, right? Or maybe it's one of the times it's pronounced like Oooh like soup or youth. Or maybe it's only of the times it's pronounced like Uhh like trouble or cousin. Or maybe its one of the times it sounds like uhhh like would or could. Or maybe it's one of the times it's pronounced like shawa like anxious or nervous. Or maybe it's one of the times it's pronounced like Oh like shoulder or though. THE LIST GOES ON! WHY?!? Make it make sense! No wonder English is so hard to learn!" —Lalalace1640 7."Funny and clever!" —hiddencupcake431 8."The mythical double male adapter cord. It's too much power for us humans.

The offenders are mostly teenage boys who speed down my street. I'd love to see their reaction!" —slysword775 14."It's one of those papers you hand back facedown." —@deliciousgoose90 15."Eastern NC has a community named Jackass Flats. Oregon has a community named Nimrod. Those are a couple of the more entertaining communities I've personally visited." —savorycookie506 Related: 16."I have worked on washing machines that were used for horse blankets and a couple that had human shit in them. I would rather work on the ones with human shit. A 1,500 pound animal sweating heavily for hours into a blanket, and shedding pounds of hair too. No thanks." —nathaniel 17."Out of seven kids, my youngest sister (20 years younger) and I (second oldest) were the only accidental kids. My second daughter was an accident.

The three of us have a house together." —smartwitch66 18."I'm curious how many folks will pee on the floor because they saw it on the sign." —keathome2010 19."Do they realise instructions are updated as things need to be accounted for. Do not drink the contents of the battery is there BECAUSE the previous generation drank it." —artisticelf953 20."I love the mask one" —kimw28 21."We just going to ignore the other sign saying not to feed the cute chickens because they will get aggressive and steal your lunch? Lol." —artisticcaptain33 22."Super funny" —Theatre kid 23."😄" —magicalcupcake737 Related: 24."Whoever wrote this sign missed two gigantic loopholes: high school students under 17 are banned from the store (but dropouts can come in?); banned 6am - 6pm (but ya'll come hang out late at night?)" —cuteasteroid638 25."Makes me miss Austin. I drove by that El Arroyo on West Fifth when I worked downtown. The signs always made me smile, so I was in a good mood when I arrived at work." —shabooshabah 26."When God speaks, people listen.
