In my clinic, my patients with insomnia often ask me to recommend sleep products to them to facilitate the treatment.

I want to emphasize that we don’t want to rely on products to help us sleep better, we need to work on how to sleep with our own bodies and biological drive.

However, sometimes, some sleep products may be helpful to reduce sleep anxiety a little bit.

I list some products and tools on this page because I use them myself, or I have interviewed the founders of them and like what they do for the sleep field. I’ve done the research and trial and error so you don’t have to! That being said, I encourage you to consider only the products that fit your needs based on your own sleep needs.

CPAP machine& masks:

• DreamWear

• ResMed Masks

• ResMed CPAP machine (that is what I have and what I bought for my parents)

Earphones you can wear during sleep:

• QuietOn sleep earbuds (listen to my interview with their founder)

  • This is a must-have for me when I travel with my family. When a family member snores, I rely on this to help me sleep.

Pillows:

• Pillow Cube, a pillow designed for side sleepers like myself (listen to my interview with the CEO Jay). I use this pillow everyday now.

Bed Sheets:

• Cozy Earth

  • I received 2 sets from this company over the past 2 years, and I love them. They feel smooth when touching the skin, and keeps my body cool and dry at night. One of my personal favorites so far.

Circadian Glasses:

Ayo: Glasses provide easy circadian light therapy. Now I am wearing it every morning after I get up, before I head to work. It is very easy to wear when I cook, eat, and do other things in the house. It helps boost energy, sleep better at night, and adjust our circadian rhythm. I haven’t tried it after international trips, but the CEO of Ayo told me this glasses are helpful to cope with jetlag.
