The Best Sleep Restoration

Buying Guide

Sleep deprivation is a global problem, and studies estimate that as many as 60% of adults suffer from chronic sleeping problems. Experts recommend designing sleep environments to promote better, deeper and longer-lasting sleep for your health, including keeping the bedroom dark, reducing noise and lowering the temperature of the room. In recent years, some companies have also introduced many helpful products to help consumers improve their sleep.

Not all products work for everyone, so you may have to try a few different ones before finding your favorites. People who get too hot at night can benefit from cooling mattress covers and bed linens designed to maintain consistent body temperatures. Some sleep well by wearing eye masks, listening to ambient noise or having relaxing scents in the air. Others swear by weighted blankets.

Whatever sleep restoration products you choose, there are real benefits to the use of sleep aids. Give one or more a try until you feel your nighttime routine is improved.

• If you want to try a weighted blanket, look for one that is about 7% of your body weight. Otherwise, it might be too heavy.
• Be sure that the material of your weighted blanket is breathable so you won’t get too hot.
• Look for eye masks that are ergonomically designed, otherwise they could slip off. Eye masks are also great for daytime naps and travel.
• Play around with the thermometer in your room to see which temperature is most comfortable for sleeping.
• Sleeping in different places can make it harder to sleep; look for portable products to take with you when you will not be sleeping in your own bed.
