5 Sleep Tools to Help You Get Those 7 Hours

One of our main values not officially listed here at Splendid Shopper is sleep. Failing to get a good restful sleep of seven hours, which according to a Harvard Health Publishing article is the recommended minimum amount for adults, can lead to a numerous amount of negative side effects such as being prone to heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline and so forth. I, for one, notice a huge difference in my mood if I don’t get enough sleep. My anxiety is off the roof, I’m cranky and irritable, and just can’t seem to focus throughout the day, no matter what I’m doing. Creating a nightly routine is so important for our overall mental and physical health – they are connected! – especially as we age. We’ve created a list of products to add into your sleep routine to help you achieve your best night’s rest.

Dr. Teal's Sleep Spray

Introducing the King of wellness, Dr. Teal. This product combines melatonin with calming lavender and chamomile scents to promote a restful sleep. Spray it on your pillow, which I highly recommend, in the shower as a misty-sauna effect, or on your body. The brand offers a huge selection of health and wellness products aside from this sleep spray, including bath salts and scrubs.

Lunya Pajamas

Incorporating silk into your nightly routine, be it through pajamas, an eye mask or a pillow cover, is scientifically proven to help protect your skin and hair during sleep. This sustainable Washable Silk Tee Set is designed to help maintain a comfortable body temperature. So long are the days of waking up overheated!

Knight Weighted Therapeutic Plush

Step aside weighted blanket! This Knight Weighted Therapeutic Plush stuffed animal helps reduce anxiety and relieve stress, and it’s not just for kids! It’s proven that deep pressure stimulation helps you sleep well, increases level of focus and boosts your mood. What better way to fall asleep than cozied up with one of these adorable Plushy Buddies? 

Coyuchi

Eye masks are an essential element of my nightly sleep routine to ensure that I don’t get woken up by the sunrise creeping through my blinds. Coyuchi’s eye mask is a great sustainable product made of a silky 300-thread count woven with sateen fabric. Remember that lavender melatonin spray I just talked about? A spritz of that on this Organic Sateen Eye Mask is guaranteed to help you reach maximum zzz’s.

DIFF Charitable Eyewear 

I’m not suggesting you spend hours scrolling through your feed in bed, but in all honesty, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t guilty of this. I’ve been trying to reduce my screen time at night after hearing about all the negative side effects of using technology before bed has on your sleep schedule. One thing that I’ve found to help support my journey towards a no-technology before bed rule is blue light glasses, which are said to help reduce eye strain. DIFF Charitable Eyewear is a great sustainable, philanthropic brand that I’ve grown to love. The brand offers a variety of products at an affordable price that are perfect to wear throughout the day. They even offer BOGO for customers to try out two products!
