For many of us, getting a good night's sleep is a privilege. Everyday stressors, phone usage, and conditions like insomnia can interfere with our ability to not only fall asleep, but also stay asleep through the night. If you're looking for a breakthrough in your sleep experience, we spoke with two experts, Dr. Shelby Harris, Director of Sleep Health at Sleepopolis, and Dr. Poonam Desai, board-certified physician and wellness expert, to get professional advice and recommendations that can help you take control of your sleep.

"One of the biggest culprits these days is having your phone nearby -- it's so tempting to scroll or check notifications, which can keep you up much later than you intended," Dr. Harris tells Real Simple. To fall asleep faster, Dr. Harris suggests sticking to a consistent bedtime and keeping your room dark, cool, and quiet. "These are key signals for your body to start shutting down," she says. "And, if you're using your phone or other screens before bed, try to keep them out of arm's reach to avoid distractions."

Outside of the small changes we can make to improve our quality of sleep, there are a handful of useful products that can help as well. Below, find recommendations from Dr. Harris and Dr. Desai, like a soothing weighted blanket, relaxing sound machine, and light-blocking sleep mask, to help your body unwind and sleep better -- all at Amazon.

"Weighted blankets can make you feel cozy and secure, helping with anxiety and relaxation," Dr. Harris explains. This one from CuteKing comes in a variety of weights, ranging from 5 to 25 pounds, but this 15-pound blanket is the perfect middle ground -- not too light but not too heavy that it causes discomfort. The blanket is constructed with a seven-layer design that includes a layer of glass beads, double layers of foam padding, and two outer layers of a breathable microfiber fabric that helps regulate your body temperature as you sleep. "I didn't know what I was missing until I had this in my life! It feels like a warm hug," one shopper shared.

If you're someone like me who likes having gentle background noise to help with sleeping, Dr. Harris recommends a sound machine to fall asleep faster. "Sound machines are great for drowning out noise and creating a consistent background sound," she says. The Magicteam Sound Machine comes with 20 non-looping sleep sounds, including white noise, brown noise, and nature soundscapes like rain and ocean waves to help your mind unwind. It also has 32 volume levels, five timing modes, and a memory function that stores your previously-used settings. "I've owned this sound machine for over two years now, and I think I'm addicted. It is so helpful to block out extra random noises throughout the night," one customer wrote.

My partner struggles with insomnia, so when I go to bed, he's usually still awake and watching TV in our bedroom. As comforting as it is to me, the brightness of the TV can make it difficult to fall asleep. "If light is waking you up, you may want to consider a sleep mask," Dr. Harris shares. The Newvanga sleep mask is a personal favorite of mine, as it's designed with contours to alleviate pressure on the eyes and blocks out 100 percent of light sources, unlike common sleep masks that lay flat and can slide off your head. Plus, it's made with an adjustable strap and a smooth, lightweight fabric that feels soft on the skin. One reviewer wrote, "I am very light sensitive and these are amazing...This eye mask is perfect for light blocking in the early morning hours."

At the end of a long day, there's nothing more relaxing than a hot bath, and this Epsom salt from Dr. Teal's can put you right to sleep thanks to its relaxation-promoting ingredients like magnesium and lavender essential oil. "Magnesium is a powerhouse mineral with numerous benefits, from improving sleep to aiding muscle recovery and relieving stress," Dr. Desai explains, adding, "One way to get a boost of Magnesium is through bath Epsom salts." This unique soaking solution contains pure magnesium sulfate, aka epsom salt, and lavender essential oil to ease the mind, soothe muscles, and provide stress relief. Not to mention, it's also formulated without parabens and phthalates, so you can feel good about what you're using. A final shopper wrote, "I love how it makes my evening baths so much more luxurious, turning them into a perfect pre-sleep ritual. It really helps in unwinding and calming down after a long day."
