I am a terrible sleeper. That’s why I was so excited to try out the following products that promise to help me sleep better. Here, our fellow sleep-deprived health editors weigh in on whether these supposedly snooze-inducing products live up to their hype.
Yes, Your Mattress Matters
20 Products That'll Help You Sleep Like Never Before
There’s a pretty good chance you will spend at least one night this week tossing and turning (and the entire next day chugging coffee).
A recent survey from Consumer Reports found that of the more than 4,000 U.S. adults surveyed, 27 percent say they have trouble falling or staying asleep most nights, and 68 percent — or an estimated 164 million Americans — struggle with sleep at least once a week.
But we aren’t just sitting idly by letting the sleepless nights add up. Americans are actively searching for the secret sauce to lull us to sleep. In 2015, Americans spent an estimated $41 billion on sleep aids and remedies. Furthermore, that is expected to grow to $52 billion by 2020, BBC Research told Consumer Reports.
That being said, there are some smart products that can make dozing off — and staying asleep — a little bit easier. Here are some of our top picks:
