Devices for creating a Healthy Sleep Environment

White Noise Machines

White noise machines help mask disruptive sounds like traffic, voices, or household activity that can fragment sleep. Research shows they can reduce micro-awakenings and help light sleepers or those in noisy environments get deeper, more continuous rest. Studies have found that white noise can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and improve overall sleep quality — especially for shift workers, hospital patients, and infants. It’s a simple, drug-free way to manage noise-related sleep disturbances.

Block out disruptive sounds with these expert picks:

  • Yogasleep Dohm Classic – Fan-powered white noise with simple analog controls. A favourite since 1962.
  • LectroFan Digital – 22 non-looping sound profiles with digital clarity — great for home or travel.
  • Manta White Noise Machine – Dual speakers, curated sleep tones, minimalist design.

Need a travel option? Try the Yogasleep Travel Mini, Dreamegg Pocket Sleep 1, or Yogasleep Rohm — all compact and powerful for sleep on the go.

Silk Sleep Masks

Silk sleep masks help block out light and reduce sensory input, which supports melatonin production and healthier circadian rhythms. Research shows that even low light can disrupt sleep. Silk is hypoallergenic, gentle on skin, and reduces friction — great for hair and sensitive skin. Studies show eye masks can boost REM sleep and help you fall asleep faster.

Top silk mask picks:

  • Manta Silk Sleep Mask – 100% silk, contoured for blackout comfort.
  • Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Eyemask – Luxuriously soft, perfect for travel.
  • Lunya Washable Silk Sleep Mask – Doubles as a headband and is easy to wash.

Blue Light Filtering Glasses

Blue light from screens and artificial lighting can suppress melatonin, delaying sleepiness. Blue light glasses help reduce this effect, supporting better sleep quality, more total sleep time, and better-aligned circadian rhythms. Clear-lens blockers help for daytime screen use, while amber or orange lenses are best for evening use.

Protect your sleep cycle with these options:

  • Gunnar Intercept – Ideal for gamers or heavy evening screen time.
  • Cyxus Clear Lens Glasses – No-yellow tint option for daytime.
  • Livho Blockers – Affordable and comfortable for night-time screen fatigue.

Light Therapy Glasses

Light therapy glasses emit specific wavelengths that mimic morning sunlight. Using them early in the day can help reset your body clock, making it easier to fall asleep at night and feel more alert in the day. They’re helpful for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), delayed sleep phase, or frequent travel.

Popular light therapy picks:

  • AYO Circadian Glasses – Blue-turquoise light with app-guided programmes.
  • Luminette 3 – Portable, mimics 10,000 lux light therapy.
  • DreamTech Glasses – Budget-friendly option for SAD support.

Light + Sound Alarm Clocks

These clocks use gradual light and gentle sound to wake you up naturally, instead of a harsh alarm. Research shows dawn simulation can reduce grogginess, boost mood, and help align your circadian rhythm. Many models also include white noise or calming sounds for bedtime wind-down.

Wake up gently with these favourites:

  • Hatch Restore 3 – App routines, meditations, gradual sunrise light.
  • Soothing Sunrise Lamp – Budget-friendly with adjustable brightness and sound options.
  • Circadian Rhythm Lamp – Affordable dawn simulation with peaceful soundscapes.

Sleep Nutrition Supplements

Magnesium for Relaxation

Magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters and the nervous system, supporting relaxation and deeper sleep. Studies show it can improve sleep onset, duration, and reduce night-time awakenings — especially for people with low magnesium, insomnia, or anxiety.

Top picks:

  • Thorne Magnesium Citramate – High bioavailability, gentle on digestion.
  • Jigsaw Health MagSRT – Sustained release for overnight support.
  • Magtein L-Threonate – May help calm the mind for sleep.

Melatonin for Circadian Regulation

Melatonin helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. It’s great for jet lag, shift work, or delayed sleep. Low doses (0.5–3mg) about 30–60 minutes before bed are often effective. Too much can cause grogginess or vivid dreams.

Try:

  • Thorne Melaton5 (5mg) – High-quality, consistent dose.
  • Pure Encapsulations (3mg) – Hypoallergenic, third-party tested.
  • Olly Sleep Gummies – Tasty, with chamomile and L-theanine.

Tip: Start low and adjust only if needed.

Ashwagandha for Stress Relief

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps reduce stress and promote calm sleep. Research shows daily doses (300–600mg) can improve sleep quality by lowering cortisol and quieting the mind. It works best taken daily for 6–8 weeks.

Recommended brands:

  • Transparent Labs KSM-66 – Clinically dosed and purity tested.
  • Nutricost KSM-66 – Great value option.
  • Gaia Herbs – Organic and dietitian-approved.

Aromatherapy for Relaxation

Aromatherapy with oils like lavender, chamomile, and clary sage can reduce stress and support better sleep. Research shows it can lower heart rate and promote relaxation before bed, helping you fall asleep faster.

Relax with:

  • Maple Holistics Essential Oil Set – Includes lavender and other calming scents.
  • BedJet Aromatherapy Kit – Diffuses oils directly into your bedding.
  • Edens Garden Roll-On – Handy melatonin and essential oil blend.

Tip: Diffuse oils before bed or apply roll-ons to pulse points. Keep pets safe — some oils can be toxic to them.
