19 Sleep Gifts: Ideas for Those in Need of a Better Night’s Slumber

From an affordable little treat to the latest gadgets, there are so many amazing sleep products available on the market right now.

Whether you’re shopping for a full-blown insomniac or someone who simply loves sleep, we’ve put together a list of 19 perfect sleep gifts for you to choose from:

Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

Inhale calm and exhale worries

If you’re looking for a small gift, then this Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is the perfect solution.

We already know that your nose is a powerful force when it comes to slumber.

This natural remedy uses that knowledge to help people fall asleep faster, sleep deeper and wake up refreshed.

The aromatherapeutic mixture of lavender, vertivert and camomile is a blissful combination to calm both the body and mind.

It won’t stain bedding, is easy to apply and smells amazing – an essential addition to anyone’s sleep kit.

2.Aku Mat

Wrap up the gift of acupressure treatment

A mat covered in metal spikes might not seem like a great gift for someone who needs a good night’s rest.

However acupressure has been shown to have amazing benefits for sleep. Plus we’ve reviewed the market and there’s no better acupressure mat than the Aku Mat.

If you’re new to acupressure, laying back on the mat triggers the release of endorphins and invokes a deep sense of relaxation that encourages better sleep quality.

Unlike competitor mats that use plastic spikes, the Aku Mat is covered in 2,710 spikes made from copper, silver, zinc, nickel and iron.

You might be worried that you’re inflicting pain on the recipient, and Akuspike’s CEO said it can be painful at first! But you quickly get used to the sensation and the results are more than worth it.

Like the spikes? Aku offer a range of different products covered in their signature metal points.

3.TouchPoints for Sleep

Soothe someone to sleep with micro-vibrations

Research shows that low-amplitude vibrations can help to induce sleep, without you even recognizing the vibration.

TouchPoint have taken that thinking and popped it inside two soft wristbands to wear in bed.

30 minutes before going to bed, pop the sweatbands on your wrists or ankles and the clever micro-vibrations relaxes your body.

You can then take them off, or they’ll switch off automatically if the 30 minute treatment sends you straight to sleep.

Shortlisted for the TIME’s Best Invention of the Year, case studies have shown they can encourage deep sleep within 15 minutes.

Buying for someone who is struggling with wakefulness?

If you wake up at night, pop them on and they’ll soothe you straight back to sleep.

4.Hatch Restore - Sound Machine

Soothing light and sound for a great night’s slumber

Lighting has a huge influence on sleep, with the blue light of technology particularly shown to have a negative impact.

Wrapping up this smart light and sound machine allows the receiver to completely tailor their sleep-wake routine.

Hatch Restore can create a deeply relaxing mood through sound and light to help the mind and body unwind and prepare to rest.

17.PureZone 3-in-1 True HEPA Air Purifier

18.ComfySleep Rectangular Buckwheat Hull Pillow

A miracle pillow

As one third of our lives is spent in bed, it’s crucial to pick the right pillow.

ComfySleep’s buckwheat hull pillow is a lovely gift for that person who is tired of waking up riddled with pains.

Buckwheat hull pillows have actually been around for centuries.

But what exactly is a buckwheat hull we hear you ask?

It’s the outer shell of buckwheat seeds, the part that’s left over when the seeds are processed.

As they are slightly cupped, triangular and smooth, there are thousands of tiny air pockets between them when arranged in a pillow.

They’re great for anyone who gets hot in bed, as they don’t radiate or hold heat like a memory foam pillow does, providing a cool night’s rest.

Buckwheat is natural and hypoallergenic, giving the much needed support throughout the night.

This versatile pillow can be customized by the recipient of this thoughtful gift, using the extra hulls provided.

It will also provide the perfect alignment for the neck, shoulders and spine – excellent for posture.

Real care has gone into the design – the fabric used started off as organically grown cotton from Texas, that was then milled into tightly woven cotton twill.

Gone are the days of tolerating lumpy pillows, sweating at night and suffering in silence.

19.Withings Sleep Tracking Pad

Advanced sleep tracking technology

This gift is for anyone that enjoys a slick gadget and wants to optimize their sleep.

We can’t improve our sleep if we don’t know what is going on once we shut our eyes.

Lack of knowledge won’t lead to blissful ignorance, but grogginess, weight gain and potentially serious illnesses.

This sleep tracking mat is a real game-changer.

Slip it under your mattress, and its advanced sensors will provide everything there is to know about your sleep.

Learn about your duration, depth, interruptions, your sleep schedule and the time taken to drift off and wake up.

All the data is sent via wifi to an intuitive app on your smartphone, so you can keep track of everything.

The built-in coaching program acts as a best friend, providing much needed guidance and reassurance.

Lazier ones in your life will love the fact that it can also control the thermostat and lights, enabling you to set the optimal conditions.

If you’re shopping for a real health nut, they’ll love adding sleep optimization to their self-care routine.
