If you've ever struggled to fall asleep (or stay asleep), you're definitely not alone. In fact, even aiming for a standard eight hours [1] can mean you often fall short [2]. Add in the negative ways the pandemic has affected our sleep patterns [3], and you likely found yourself getting less shut-eye than ever [4] over the past year. Then, while daylight saving time brings more daylight (yay!), it may also bring on major grogginess, too (boo!). All of those things added up can leave you lying awake in bed for hours (possibly even reading this on your phone as you do so).
Now, there's never a bad time to get better sleep, but there's no better time than the present, so we hand-picked 19 products at Target to help you rest easy. From melatonin patches to essential oils galore, see the items to bring on sweet dreams [5] this spring and hopefully let you say goodnight to insomnia [6] once and for all.
Nature's Truth Rejuvenating Lavender Aromatherapy Essential Oil Mist Spray
Spritz your bedroom or your body with this Nature's Truth Rejuvenating Lavender Aromatherapy Essential Oil Mist Spray [8] ($7) right before bed, and let its calming fragrance drift you off into dreamland.
Hatch Restore Personalized Sleep Solution
There's pretty much nothing this Hatch Restore Personalized Sleep Solution [9] ($130) can't do. It wakes you up with a custom sunrise alarm clock and offers a soft-glow reading light without troublesome blue hues before bed. Of course, it has a range of sleep sounds, but if you're primarily interested in those, there's no reason an adult who struggles with sleep can't still use this Hatch Rest Sound Machine, Night Light and Time-to-Rise [10] ($60) with preset soothing sounds and lights instead.
Asutra Sleep Mask Set
The Asutra Sleep Mask Set [11] ($20) comes with a pure-silk weighted eye pillow and a cooling gel mask for tired eyes, so use whichever you need for maximum calm . . . or both at the same time.
Dr Teal's Melatonin and Essential Oils Sleep Bath Soaks
If you like a soothing bath before bed, you'll be hard pressed to pick between the Dr Teal's Melatonin and Essential Oils Sleep Foaming Bath Soaks [12] ($5) and the Dr Teal's Melatonin Sleep Epsom Bath Soaks [13] ($5). Personally, we'd grab them both to use the foaming bath to unwind daily and the epsom salts when our muscles are especially achy.
Sealy Standard Cool and Comfort Bed Pillow
A good pillow is a key factor for a restful night's sleep, and this Sealy Standard Cool and Comfort Bed Pillow [14] ($40) packs premium memory foam inside and two different options on the outside. Pick between a side with temperature-neutral smoothness and the reverse with body-heat-activated cooling technology so you'll always have a chilly side of the pillow.
Bose Sleepbuds II Wireless Noise Masking Earbuds
The only sounds you'll hear with these soft silicone Bose Sleepbuds II Wireless Noise Masking Earbuds [15] ($250) come from the Bose Sleep app, where you can choose soothing nature noises or total silence. A charge lasts for up to 10 hours, and you can even preprogram your alarm to ring right inside.
Room Essentials 50" x 70" Jersey Weighted Throw Blanket With Removable Cover
We love this Room Essentials 50" x 70" Jersey Weighted Throw Blanket With Removable Cover [16] ($49-$59) for a relaxing nap on the couch (it comes in 12-, 15-, and 18-pound weights of pink or grey).
Opalhouse 300ml Cutout Ceramic Colour-Changing Oil Diffuser White
This Opalhouse 300ml Cutout Ceramic Colour-Changing Oil Diffuser White [17] ($28) still looks so pretty sitting out even when it's not in use, and it also comes in an Opalhouse 300ml Cutout Ceramic Colour-Changing Oil Diffuser Aqua [18] ($28) version.
Nature's Truth Good Nite Aromatherapy Essential Oil Blend
With lavender, frankincense, cypress, and bergamot all inside, this Nature's Truth Good Nite Aromatherapy Essential Oil Blend [19] ($7) is a nice alternative to a popular pure-lavender pick [20].
The Good Patch Plant Based Dream Patch With Melatonin
Just slip The Good Patch Plant Based Dream Patch With Melatonin [21] ($15) on the inside of your wrist, and its melatonin, valerian root, and hops support a deep, restful sleep for up to 12 hours.
Room Essentials Body Pillow White
If you get the best rest with a bunch of pillows, this Room Essentials Body Pillow White [22] ($10) can take the place of separate options under your hips, back, neck, and stomach.
Olly 3mg Melatonin Sleep Gummies — Blackberry Zen
These top-rated Olly 3mg Melatonin Sleep Gummies — Blackberry Zen [23] ($14) help you sleep (and taste like blackberries), but if that dose isn't enough, there's the Olly Extra Strength Sleep Gummy Supplement [24] ($18) with 5 mg of melatonin instead.
Pure Enrichment Crystal Himalayan Salt Rock Lamp and Ultrasonic Oil Diffuser
Salt lamps give off negative ions to neutralise the harmful positive ones we're exposed to all day (from smartphones, TVs, and more). This Pure Enrichment Crystal Himalayan Salt Rock Lamp and Ultrasonic Oil Diffuser [25] ($60) adds that power to an essential-oil diffuser to spread your favourite scent, or there's a basic Pure Enrichment USB Salt Lamp [26] ($23) option, too.
Gravity Queen/King 35lbs Weighted Blanket
For the best sleep with a weighted blanket big enough for two, this Gravity Queen/King 35lbs Weighted Blanket [27] ($250) is a top pick (and can be popped under your favourite duvet cover as you please).
Up and Up Sleeping Foam Earplugs — 12 Pair
Sure, this may seem basic, but if you struggle to sleep because of snoring or other unwelcome noises in your home, you'll definitely want a pack of these Up and Up Sleeping Foam Earplugs — 12 Pair [28] ($4) close by.
Queen Mulberry 100% Silk Pillowcase
You'll get a better night's sleep when you're not worried about your skin (breakouts) or hair (breakage), so this smooth Queen Mulberry 100% Silk Pillowcase [29] ($55) lets you rest easy.
Sharper Image Sleep Therapy White Noise Machine
For an incredibly easy-to-use option, this Sharper Image Sleep Therapy White Noise Machine [30] ($20) needs just a push of a button to bring on the sound you love best, from white noise to ocean waves.
Martha Stewart 3" Down Featherbed Mattress Topper
Get the closest thing to sleeping on a literal cloud with this plush Martha Stewart 3" Down Featherbed Mattress Topper [31] ($77-$185) with a two-inch, feather-filled base and a one-inch top layer of 600-fill-power down.
Method Body Wash Wind Down
Even swapping your favourite soap for a special nighttime alternative can help you fall asleep, and we especially love this Method Body Wash Wind Down [32] ($8) for its calming chamomile and blue lavender.
