Top 3 cheap sleep accessories to shop today

1. Alaska Bear Natural Silk Sleep Mask: $8.32 7.07 at Amazon
For just seven bucks, this silky-smooth sleep mask blocks out light to an impressive degree. Its Mulberry silk surface is comfortable and breathable and won't get too hot through the night. It comes with an adjustable strap that you can fit perfectly to your face — it's also got a deeper nose cutout than most sleep masks, designed to contour to the nose rather than press down on it. This mask is also recommended for dry eye sufferers.

2. Loop Dream earplugs: $49.95 at Loop
If you're a frequent concert-goer, you will have likely heard of Loop — the stylish and effective earplugs provide ear protection for the loudest gigs, and now, the brand is using its technology to help you get better sleep. These earplugs are designed specifically for sleep, with a silicone body and silicone-foam oval tip that'll fit snugly and comfortably in your ears. The earplugs offer 27 decibels of noise reduction, which will do an excellent job of blocking out snoring, loud roads and noisy neighbors.

Do you need a new mattress too?

If you're consistently struggling to get a good night's sleep, it's worth considering if you might need a new mattress. Most mattresses need replacing after 10 years, or sooner if your mattress is showing signs that it needs replacing, such as sagging or visible lumps and bumps. If your sleep is being hampered by discomfort or subpar support, it might be time to invest in a new bed.
