2. Bedgear M1 Pillow 3.0

Trash your sad, clumpy pillow and check out the M1 Pillow 3.0 from Bedgear. It has an emphasis on cooling technology, and the moisture-wicking fabric on the surface of the pillow zaps away drool and night sweats. The brand’s special ventilated side panels tag team the cool-and-dry feel by keeping air flow to a max. The 3D mesh fabric helps to maintain “ambient temperatures,” so you don’t get that warm, tepid, face-to-pillow sensation in the dead of night. What’s more, this material prevents allergens and dander from burrowing into the pillow’s cores. Lastly, the pillow’s filled with a proprietary blend that molds to your head and neck but won’t deflate. ($119, bedgear.com)

3. Casper Sheets + Pillow Case

With sheets this nice, Casper will become your new scapegoat for just about everything—why you’re late to work, to pick up your girlfriend, to meet your gym buddy. The brand uses a supremely soft Supima cotton—grown in California’s Central Valley—which has some of the longest, finest fibers that withstand wear and get softer with every round of laundering. The 400-thread count sheets are light and breathable, with that crisp, cool, lie-in-me-forever feel. Which you should totally do. Sleep ranks supreme, after all. Surely your girlfriend will understand. Right?…right? (from $120 to $160, casper.com)

4. Sheex Performance Cooling Comforter

Few things are worse than feeling like you’re drowning in a sea of blankets in the middle of the night. When you fall asleep, your core temperature drops and gets trapped in the bedding. Luckily, that’s not something you have to worry about with SHEEX’s Performance Cooling Comforter. While the 500-thread count gives the material feather softness you’ll want to cloak your naked body in (totally normal), it never gets suffocating. The heat-regulating fabric is targeted in the central portion of the comforter, keeping your core cool without freezing out your feet. If you really run hot, you’ll appreciate the 1.5″ bit of mesh fabric sewn along the length of the comforter that further releases heat. The comforter is also crafted from a bacteria-inhibiting material that can reduce odor, staining, and the need to wash your bedding as frequently. Score. ($140, sheex.com)

5. Nightingale Smart Sleep System

Don’t call the Nightingale Smart Sleep System a mere noise machine. Designed by acoustics experts, this smart clamor-masking system immerses your bedroom in “sound blankets” that account for carpeting, windows, and furniture. There are 15 customized, comforting ambient sound options, as well as nature sounds. Simply plug the two units into outlets in your room, and Nightingale will not only help you drift off, it’ll make sure nothing disrupts you. It’s designed to mask unwanted noises; whether that’s snoring, a siren, or your phone’s text message alerts. It won’t, however, mask your alarm…or smoke detector. Smart, indeed.

6. Withings Aura Connected Alarm Clock

Nobody likes waking up to a blaring alarm—so don’t. The Bluetooth-enabled Aura Connected Alarm Clock from Withings is set to start nudging you awake with blue light and soft sound effects that gradually build as your actual wakeup time approaches. The alarm clock/lamp/speaker syncs up with your Spotify account and an optional sleep tracker pressure sensor that tracks your shuteye. Better yet, the Aura automatically changes colors to match the sun’s rise and fall. In the morning, it’ll emit blue light (akin to natural sunlight) to decrease melatonin production in your body; at night, Aura glows a warm red to promote your sleep hormones. You can also opt to hear shuteye-inducing sound programs. ($190, withings.com)

7. Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker

Unlike some wearables that feel bulky and uncomfortable fixed to your wrist at night, and sleep trackers that just don’t do a great job of gathering your metrics and offering actionable advice, the Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker slips under your sheet to analyze the quantity and quality of your sleep, nightly heart rate, breathing, snoring patterns, and bedroom environment. It prompts you to take notes about your daily habits (here are 15 things you can do during the day to help you fall asleep at night, by the way), then compare these behaviors and sleep metrics to offer trends and explanations why you toss and turn at night, and what you can do to stop it. What’s more, Beddit 3 can be integrated into your physician’s electronic health record and provide sleep reports for coaches and therapists so you have deeper insights and help. If you snore at night (Beddit 3 has an ambient noise detector), your doctor can help diagnose an underlying condition like sleep apnea, which can cause depression, weight gain, and insomnia. This tracker is so popular, it’s currently sold out. Don’t freak, though. The next shipment is May 9, 2017. ($149, beddit.com)

8. BedJet V2 Dual Zone Climate Comfort System with Biorhythm sleep technology

If you sleep naked, have fans aimed at your face, ditch bedding halfway through the night, and still can’t keep your cool, meet your saving grace: the BedJet V2 Dual Zone Climate Comfort System. It circulates air through a specialized AirComforter sheet split down the middle, so you can stay cool without freezing out your girlfriend. (In fact, she can have warm air pumping through her side.) There are even programmable settings so you can customize the heating and cooling temperature every hour of the night. It even has its own temperature wake-up setting. You can thank BedJet for ending your nightly thermostat feuds for good. ($790, bedjet.com)

9. Bath and Body Works lavender chamomile aromatherapy pillow mist

Not keen on being that guy who’s got diffusers perfuming his apartment to reap the soothing benefits of aromatherapy? Bath and Body Works’ lavender and chamomile essential oils spray can be sprayed over your pillow and/or sheets to help calm your mind and enhance sleep. (Be advised: A little goes a long way, so make sure you let the fabric dry before you face plant. ($13, bathandbodyworks.com)

10. Under Armour Men’s Athlete Recovery Sleepwear Henley

This pajama top? It’s inspired by Tom Brady. Whether you love or hate the man’s supremely healthy, talented guts, you gotta admit he’s one hell of an athlete—and that’s thanks (in part) to optimized recovery. The sleepwear has a special print on the inside, which harnesses the power of “far infrared,” which is basically “warm” energy that’s emitted from the sun and our bodies. As your body emits far infrared, the soft print absorbs that natural heat, then reflects the far infrared back to your skin, which Under Armour says will reduce inflammation, help you recover faster, and sleep better. The fit is next-to-skin without being too tight, has four-way stretch, and moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you cool. ($100, underarmour.com)
