I'm a sleep tech tester — 5 Prime Day deals from $9 I'd snap up if I was sharing a dorm this semester
Shared dorms can be noisy, and you and your dorm buddies may not always have the same night light preferences or sleep schedules. So, heading back to school with a toolbox of effective sleep tech is key to getting quality rest between lectures, social events and finals. Top of your cart should be an affordable but reliably supportive mattress for college students. Then you can think about gadgets that will help you block out ambient light and noise to get the best possible sleep this year. It's the final day of Amazon Prime Day sleep deals and I've been shopping to bring you the last remaining offers on such gadgets. My team of sleep experts and I have tested them ourselves and can assure you they are worthy investments. If I was heading back to college this summer with a spare $10 to $50, here's what I'd buy... 1. Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs: was $27.95 now $16.95 at AmazonThere's no doubt you'll have at least one night this semester where you'll need to block out rowdy roomies to get to sleep. Our sleep editor Lauren used these earplugs when sleeping next door to a nightclub and found they were effective at masking loud music and revelers. The Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs are 39% off for Prime members now, cutting the cost to $16.95 — we think that's a fantastic deal considering they are super comfortable and reusable. User score: ★★★★ (based on 12,520+ reviews) 2. Musicozy Sleep Headphones: was $25.99 now $15.19 at AmazonThe Musicozy sleep headband is a two-in-one sleep gadget combining sleep headphones with a sleep mask to block out both light and noise. In short, it's a dorm-sharers dream. Our tester Ruth says the Musicozy's light masking is "exceptional" and surround sound is "immersive". It's still 42% off for the final day of Prime deals, so if you buy now you can get it for just $15.19 (was $25.99) — cha-ching! User score: ★★★★ (based on 23,300+ reviews) 3. COMLIFE Portable Handheld Misting Fan: was $19.99 now $9.49 at AmazonLet's be honest, sharing a dorm room can get stuffy and sometimes downright sweaty, so having a cooling sleep companion to hand is a wise move. This simple fan comes complete with a small water tank so you can mist yourself before bed to reach the best temperature for sleeping well. It's half price today at a bargain $9.49 (was $19.99) — now is the time to order to get it before the next heatwave. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 6,720+ reviews) 4. Bob and Brad eye massager: was $74.97 now $49.98 at AmazonThe Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Eye Massager is a digital eye mask that combines heat, pressure and acupressure to relieve stress and strained eyes. It does this while blocking out light so you drift off into a more restful sleep. Essentially it delivers dreamy eye relief after you've been staring at a laptop all day, powering through assignments. This is your last chance to bag 33% off this gadget, with the price at $49.98 (down from $74.97). It's more of a splurge than other sleep masks, but your mid-finals tired eyes will thank you for it. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 1,830+ reviews) 5. MyHalos sleep mask: was $12.99 now $10.39 at AmazonIf you prefer a reliable light-blocking sleep mask without the bells and whistles of the Musicozy headband or Bob and Brad's eye massager, this memory foam mask is a great choice. It's made with ultra-soft, breathable fabric and puts zero pressure on your eyes, so you can bag a comfortable night's sleep even if your dorm mate likes a night light. There's 20% off for the final day of Amazon Prime deals, so if you act fast you can grab it for under $11 — at that price it's a no-brainer. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 12,410+ reviews)

Forget counting sheep, I've been counting Prime deals — and it's these 7 under $17 that'll help you sleep better
Part of my job is tracking sleep sales and in the past week I've scrolled through so many Prime Day deals I'll be dreaming of Amazon listings. But at least I will be dreaming (and sleeping soundly) with these offers for better sleep under $17 — the Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs for just $16.95 are already in my cart. From affordable eye masks to an elegant pillow spray that will make you feel like you're drifting off in a five-star hotel, these savings can improve your sleep and give you change from a twenty. It's the last day of the longest Prime Day sales event ever but there's still time to snag the best Prime Day sleep and mattress deals. These are the sleep deals your cart is missing. 1. Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs: was $27.95 now $16.95 at AmazonFor those who prefer to sleep in total silence, the Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs can block out the sound of busy roads, noisy neighbors and even your roommate on the night shift. Each set comes with four different sized ear tips (for every ear shape) plus a carry case (so you can doze on the train). Prime members can save up to 39%, reducing the Quiet Ear Plugs to just $16.95. 2. Mavogel Cotton Sleep Eye Mask: was $8.99 now from $5 at AmazonThe humble eye mask is an unsung sleep hero, blocking out light to create optimum sleep conditions whether you're at home or on the go. The Mavogel Cotton Sleep Eye Mask has over 60,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, the lightweight build is designed to be both portable and comfortable, and Prime Day savings bring the price as low as $5, depending on your preferred color. I have a similar sleep mask at home and I use it every night. It's also the first thing I pack when going on vacation because if I don't have my eye mask, no matter how comfy the hotel mattress is, I'll struggle to sleep. 3. samply Hot Water Bottle: was $9.99 now $7.99 at AmazonAlthough the perfect temperature for sleep is on the lower side (the body naturally cools at bedtime), I rely on my hot water bottle in winter to ensure that when I climb into bed, it isn't like snuggling up in the freezer. And as I've discovered, you can also fill your hot water bottle with cold water in order to sleep cooler in the summer. The samply Hot Water Bottle is a simple and affordable choice that comes in a variety of color options, and over 13,000 Amazon customer reviews. 4. Luna Orthopedic Knee Pillow: was $25.97 now from $16 at AmazonOrthopedic knee pillows feature an unusual cutout, dipping in the middle to accommodate your knees. They're designed to encourage good sleep posture in side sleepers and can also be used to reduce pressure build up — my mom has aching knees and an orthopedic pillow helps her sleep through the night. The Luna pillow uses memory foam to provide cushioning and while the budget-friendly build likely isn't as durable as pricier alternatives, it's a great choice if you've never used a knee pillow but are curious about the benefits. 5. MUSICOZY Sleep Headphones: was $25.99 now $15.19 at AmazonThe MUSICOZY Bluetooth Sleep Headphones can connect to your phone to play relaxing sounds directly into your ear as you drift off, without the discomfort of headphones pressing into your pillow. I tested a MUSICOZY Bluetooth Eye mask and the total blackout combined with the surround sound made for a cozy cocoon. It's a must for long-haul flights and road trips. Prime Day members can enjoy up to 42% off and there's a variety of colors to choose from — the black is the best deal but I'm partial to the Wine Red. 6. Breathe Right Extra Strength Nasal Strips: was $19.99 now $13.89 at AmazonWe think $13.98 is an excellent price to pay for some marital harmony, particularly if your snoring is keeping your partner awake. Nasal strips hold the nostrils open to improve air flow so you can breathe easier, and a member of our sleep team found these Breathe Right strips effectively quietened her snoring. I've also used them when a blocked nose was keeping me awake and they're the only thing that helped me sleep with a cold. 7. Muse Apothecary Pillow Ritual Pillow Mist: was $14.98 now $9.74 at AmazonI was gifted this pillow mist and the rich scent is perfect for bedtime. It's not floral — although there is a lavender option — but it does smell cozy and refined (I always feel fancy when I spray it on my pillows.) This pillow mist is infused with essential oils, and the spray bottle makes for easy application to pillows and bed linens. At $9.74 it's an inexpensive way to upgrade your bedtime.

'They stay in all night': Side-sleeping insomniacs swear by these comfy earplugs
Losing an hour's sleep to daylight savings time means we're clinging to every precious snoozy minute we can get. So if any little noise is going to interrupt your nightly rendezvous with sweet, sweet slumber, it's time to get serious about blocking out the world. Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs are Yahoo's pick for the best earplugs for sleeping, they're Amazon's No. 1 bestsellers in earplugs and shoppers say they're among the most comfortable and secure they've ever worn, especially for side sleepers. Made of soft, flexible silicone, these reusable earplugs muffle unwanted noise so you're able to fall asleep more easily. Yahoo writer Lindsay Boyers raved about this very feature in her review: "They formed a tight seal that blocked out most sound and turned my partner's jarring, chainsaw-like snoring into a dull background noise," she wrote. (We'll take five pairs!) And, unlike so many other options on the market, they come with four sizes of ear tips, S-XL, since our ears are like fingerprints — everyone's are different. "This is the first time I've seen an extra-small option, and the choices allowed me to get the right fit," Boyers said of the included ear tips. "They also have a loop shape (hence the name) that makes them easy to pull out in the morning." Though many buyers use their Loop earplugs as a sleep aid, others reach for them to de-stress, focus or block out distracting noises while flying. They come in seven colors ranging from black to lemon lime. Over 3,000 Amazon shoppers give their Loops a five-star rating, saying they're the most comfortable earplugs they've ever worn. One shopper said they've never once slipped out of his ears. "They fit and stay in all night even when side sleeping," the fan wrote. "They reduce ambient sound so well. Helps get rid of the annoying sound of my CPAP machine. It works so well [that] it makes it hard to hear my alarm go off in the morning." If your partner doesn't exactly sleep like a baby, shoppers recommend adding these to your cart immediately: "I use these for sleeping as my husband snores and these are the only earplugs that stay all night," this shopper noted. They also come in handy for blocking loud music: "I'm a bartender at a live music venue. We have music every day and some bands are just louder than ever," the five-star reviewer wrote. "I not only wanted to save my ears from future issues, but also be able to work without my ears ringing for hours afterwards. These are perfect. I can still hear my customers, but it muffles the sound of the bands and helps keep me comfortable throughout my shift." "The first night I used them, I was amazed at how much noise they blocked out," another impressed shopper wrote. "I finally slept soundly throughout the night. The Loop Quiet 2 are comfortable, discreet and incredibly effective. They've been a lifesaver for me." One four-star reviewer had this note of caution: "These are not earplugs that will completely block out all sound. They are designed (and redesigned from the original line of Loop earplugs) to minimize occlusion (what makes you feel like you're underwater when you put earplugs in) while also reducing the harshness of sounds. [The] only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I wish the material these are made of was just a little bit softer/squishier." If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
