Not flowers — 7 Mother’s Day gifts under $70 that will help mom get better sleep

A sunrise alarm clock isn't just for Fall and winter – many of the neuroscientists we work with recommend them to help you wake up in a lighter part of your sleep cycle. The benefit? So you feel less groggy each morning. There are loads of sunrise alarm clocks on Amazon but none beat the DreamEgg for performance versus price. This beauty will help your mom drift off easier and faster thanks to its relaxing sunset feature, and wake up with more energy.

Perhaps a sound machine won't be enough for your mom to block out noisy distractions. The Loop Dream Earplugs are specially made for sleeping. They come with four ear tip sizes to ensure the most secure fit, and according to our Sleep Editor Nicola Appleton, they're even comfy for side sleeping. With a noise reduction rating of 27dB (SNR), it'll take a lot to bring your mom out of dreamland.

I've bought my mom multiple Cuddl Duds pajamas and they remain her favorite. This set is great for summer, with a relaxed fit and comfy capri leg pants to keep things light. It even comes with a matching headband — handy for when mom washes her face before bed. Choose from seven fun patterns. Note: Use coupon code FAMILY25 for the final sale price; shipping is free on orders over $49.

Sometimes, my mom relies on aromatherapy for sleep. Diffusers are great because they're an easy way to fill the room with a soothing aroma. This remote-controlled model has a built-in night light and automatic shut-off so all mom has to do is set it and forget it. Essential oils aren't included, but you can pick up this 6-pack of calming scents for $10.

If your mom can't help but be glued to her screen at night, gifting her a journal could help her adopt the 3-2-1 rule for better sleep. This 160-page lined journal comes in a variety of cover styles so you can choose the one that best fits your mom's aesthetic.

If your mom deals with hot flashes at night, this breathable pillowcase from Coop will turn her pillow into one of the best cooling pillows in an instant — and all at a reasonable cost, too. One side is made of Lulltra fabric (a viscose rayon and polyester blend), and the other is polyethylene and polyester for a cool-touch sensation.

This luxurious sleep mask from Kitsch will have your mom feeling like she's on a 5-star getaway every night. It has a slightly raised design so it's not touching the eyes or lashes, while the contouring will ensure no light creeps through. The strap is adjustable so mom can get it to fit just right.
