A good night’s rest makes you feel like a whole new human, so it’s worth investing in products that solve for the most common sleep-busters: Smart light bulbs you can program to give a calming rosy glow or dim on schedule, a blue light-blocking shield for your phone, and a fluffy, cloud-like comforter that keeps you cozy without overheating.
