Sleep habits can have a significant impact on your overall health. Inadequate or poor quality sleep has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

With all the demands we have in life something’s gotta give and it seems that more often than not the first thing to suffer is sleep. Whether it’s environmental factors or a relentless to-do list, sleep can be a pipe dream for some. But with a little help, perhaps it’s a dream that can come true.
Big Red Rooster White Noise Machine
A noisy neighborhood or a snoring partner can be detrimental to getting a good night’s rest, but it’s not the source of the noise that wakes you up, it’s the changes in frequency. White noise machines can work wonders to drown out ambient noise by layering in white noise in an even frequency. The end result is that you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. The Big Red Rooster white noise machine allows users to choose between noise and nature sounds and the sleep timer can be set to shut off in 15-minute increments.

A new sense of calm will have you sleeping like a baby in no time.
Nicetown Bedroom Blackout Curtains
City lights can be beautiful but, but not so much when you’re trying to sleep. In that case, blackout curtains are a must.

Not too shabby if you ask me.
