Electronics giant Philips have released a pair of headphones in collaboration with sleep earbuds brand Kokoon to create a hi-tech, next-level take on earplugs. At just 6.1mm wide, the Sleep Headphones are the thinnest earbuds on the market - so slim you won't notice you're wearing them while trying to sleep. The headphones use noise-cancelling technology to block out external noises and distractions with greater efficiency than non-electronic earbuds.

Rigorous research has found that the Philips x Kokoon headphones can make you fall asleep faster and for longer. On average, sleepers will drift off up to 16% faster than they normally would without the headphones, and can get around 56 extra minutes of sleep when sticking to their usual routine.

Weighted blankets are an increasingly popular option for sleepers, even in the cooler months of the year when blankets are used less. Fitted with weights dispersed throughout the blanket, a weighted blanket is much heavier than a normal blanket, causing a gentle pressing effect on the body. Weighted blankets, backed by research, have been proven to help alleviate stress, anxiety, overstimulation, and depression. The blankets can be used by both adults and children, and are a popular option for neurodiverse people with diagnoses like ADHD and autism.

The Emma Hug Weighted Blanket is designed to recreate the soft weight of a cuddle, using pressure stimulation to help produce positive effects in the body. The blanket is designed to be comfortable during sleep, using a cool outer cover to control temperature and prevent overheating. The blanket is highly beneficial for sleep, promoting relaxation and help you to fall asleep faster.

With over 800,000 happy customers to date, Dodow's sleep aid device helps insomniacs and other sufferers from sleep and stress issues drift off an average of 2.5 times faster than they usually would. The metronomic system uses a blue rhythmic light for the user to copy with set breath exercises for either eight or twenty minutes before switching off, prompting a stimulation of the baroreflex, a blood pressure-controlling mechanism that promotes relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep. Using distraction techniques and retraining of the brain and circadian rhythms over time, regular use of the Dodow can permanently improve your sleeping pattern and how long it takes you to typically fall aslsep.
