Everything you need for your best sleep ever

Add as a preferred source on Google

A good night’s sleep is the original self-care. Trending skincare products, meditation apps, vitamins, and supplements are wonderful additions to your daily routine, but they, unfortunately, will not make too much of a difference if you are not getting a recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Don’t worry — improving your sleep situation does not always require a complete bedroom overhaul. Instead of getting rid of your mattress or kicking your partner out of bed, try any of these five products and get ready to sleep well all through the night.

According to the National Library for Medicine, sleeping on your side is the most common sleeping position for adults. This particular sleep alignment also has the potential to relieve back pain, improve gut health, and sharpen brain function. Whether you’re a lifelong side sleeper or trying to adjust for a more restful night’s sleep, the Cushy Form Knee Pillow for Side Sleepers will make side-sleeping that much more beneficial. The washable memory foam pillow is contoured to fit between your legs, relieving joint pain that can occur during sleep. In addition, the elevation that the Cushy Form Knee Pillow for Side Sleepers provides can help to increase circulation and even aid in surgery or pregnancy recovery.

If you prefer sleeping on your back, the Zen Bamboo Memory Foam Half-Moon Bolster might be your go-to pillow at bedtime. The support pillow is the perfect size to rest under your knees or ankles, which can relieve lower back pain and increase leg circulation. Those who sleep comfortably on their backs thanks to the help of the Zen Bamboo Memory Foam Half-Moon Bolster can enjoy improved spinal alignment, relief from sinus buildup, and even a reduction of skin irritation and wrinkles.
Getting lots of sunlight is great—except when you are trying to sleep. That’s where the Natural Silk Sleep Mask & Blindfold from Sol Wellness comes in. This 100% silk eye mask effectively blocks your eyes from any unwanted light sources when you’re trying to wind down and fall asleep. The sleek mask is light and comfortable, with a contoured design that does not apply any pressure to your eyelids or eyelashes…which is especially helpful if you have eyelash extensions!
If you’re craving the luxury of silk sheets but don’t want to go for a full set, these Italian Luxury Silk Pillowcases from Bedding Emporium are for you. Instead of the hot, scratchy pillows you might be used to, you’ll be drifting into a luxurious night’s sleep on a smooth, lightweight cloud of 100% silk. In addition to aiding in a restorative night’s sleep, silk pillowcases can also help reduce frizzy hair and lead to clearer skin because the fabric is virtually frictionless and has natural antibacterial properties.
Weighted blankets have taken the world by storm—and with good reason. This Adult Weighted Blanket & Removable Cover from Quility weighs in at a whopping 25lbs, which is best suited for an adult between 220-280lbs or experienced weighted blanket users. Why are weighted blankets so beneficial to a goodnight’s sleep? Based on the science behind Deep Touch Pressure therapy, or DTP, the pressure provided by a weighted blanket emulates that of a firm but gentle squeeze (like a hug) that can calm the nervous system. As a result, weighted blanket users report significantly reduced levels of stress, helping to lessen symptoms of insomnia and other sleep-related issues.

If there’s any self-care practice you should make a part of your daily routine, getting a restorative, uninterrupted night’s sleep is the one to focus on. While it may seem like second nature to some, sleep does not always come easy and can be a lifelong struggle for those without comfortable sleep conditions. With the help of any of these simple products, plus regular exercise, hydration, and a healthy diet, you can start working your way to your sleep goals and enjoy all the positive benefits that come with a good night’s rest.

Everyone Is Talking About Protein. But Are You Getting Enough Fiber?
Symbol, Food, Plant

Introduction

Everyone is talking about protein these days. Grocery store shelves are lined with products boasting "high protein" on the label, and social media is overflowing with influencers sharing meals that pack 30 or more grams of protein into a single serving. Protein deserves the spotlight as it plays a key role in building and maintaining muscle, supporting healthy aging, and helping you feel satisfied after meals. But while many people know exactly how many grams of protein they are trying to eat, as well as how many grams of protein are in their smoothie, yogurt, and favorite bar, far fewer are paying attention to another nutrient that is just as important: fiber. Do you know how much fiber you are getting each day?

Why Morning Sunlight Might Be the Best Wellness Habit You’re Not Practicing
Person, Door, Sunlight

Sleep has become one of the biggest topics of conversation in wellness, and for good reason. More people are realizing that feeling rested is about far more than simply spending eight hours in bed. Quality matters just as much as quantity, and surprisingly, one of the most effective ways to improve your sleep begins long before your head hits the pillow.

It often begins within the first hour after you wake up. Unlike many wellness trends, this habit does not require an expensive supplement, a wearable device, or an elaborate morning routine. All it asks is that you simply step outside.

Person, Machine, Wheel

There is one exercise that strength coaches, physical therapists, and longevity experts consistently recommend, yet many women still avoid it because it sounds intimidating: the deadlift.

Despite its somewhat dramatic name, the deadlift is one of the most functional movements you can learn. It trains your body to safely reach down, pick something up from the floor, and stand back up. It is a movement you perform countless times throughout your day. More importantly, it strengthens the muscles that support good posture, protect your spine, improve athletic performance, and help you maintain independence as you get older.
