I had trouble sleeping for months, but these 9 Amazon gadgets finally helped me get some rest

Sleeping used to come effortlessly to me. Racking up at least 8 hours a night was the norm — until recent years, that is. Between my husband’s 5 a.m. alarm, a snoring dog and a street-facing bedroom in the city, a good night’s sleep is basically impossible.

In order to finally catch some Z's, I had to get creative, testing a range of sleep gadgets and gizmos along the way. Luckily, a few of them genuinely work and have made a real difference in helping me get a better night’s sleep.

In honor of Sleep Week (March 8-14), I've decided to round up some of my favorite sleep items. From sleep gummies and satin pillow cases to cooling blankets and alarm clocks, I've rounded up all my favorite sleep items. Even better? They're all available on Amazon.
