In honor of National Sleep Day, the products we use to help us catch our zzzs

Getting a good night’s rest isn’t easy for many of us. In fact, according to the American Sleep Association, 50 to 70 million adults in the United States are dealing with a sleep disorder. While some of us might wish we didn’t need sleep to survive and could stay up doing all the things we want to do, the reality is, sleep is extremely important to our health. Poor sleep can affect everything from our heart to our mood. It’s a serious matter, people.

You can make certain changes that may help you get better sleep, such as limiting caffeine, having a regular exercise routine, eating healthy foods, and not looking at bright screens an hour or two before bedtime. (Ahem, that means no late-night Instagram lurking.) There are also products that can help you fall asleep, like weighted blankets and scented pillow sprays. Yes, there is hope.

If you’re someone who has trouble sleeping, here are 12 products we use to visit Mr. Sandman.
