The Spruce's Sleep Week All-Stars

We all know getting a good night's sleep is important, but it's often illusive for so many of us. Whether you toss and turn for hours before finally drifting off, wake up sweaty in the middle of the night, or feel groggy in the morning when your blaring alarm goes off, getting a refreshing eight hours of shut eye can be a challenge. That's why we're here to help you finally get the best sleep of your life.

Between testing for quality in The Lab and real-world testing items in our homes for months, we've spent over 50,000 hours sleep testing 542 products. From foundational items like mattresses, sheets, and pillows, to upgrades like sunrise alarm clocks, blackout curtains, and weighted blankets, we scoured to find the very best items for sweeter dreams.

We're confident that the 10 products below will help you rest easier—no counting sheep necessary.

Olive + Crate Natural Eucalyptus Sheet Set

To buy: $99.99; amazon.com

Out of dozens of sheet sets we've tested, the Olive + Crate Eucalyptus Cooling Sheets impressed us the most. Not only are they incredibly soft and silky, they also boast cooling capabilities that can't be beat. They're also a more sustainable option, so you can rest extra easy knowing eucalyptus requires far less water to process than linen or cotton, and the sheets can be composted at the end of their life span. Choose from a handful of sophisticated colors sure to complement a variety of bedroom styles.

Philips HF3520 Wake-Up Light

To buy: $109; amazon.com

For a gentle, natural way to start your day, you need The Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light.

What's more, this alarm clock can also help you fall asleep better too, thanks to its sunset mode that gradually descends through the light’s 20 brightness levels.
