I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
A sleep mask. My sleep is so much better with one on. I still have shit sleep quality, but it isn’t as shitty with a sleep mask. If I misplaced the mask, I wrap a black shirt around my eyes, but that doesn’t work as well.
I’ve used night masks before and they work well, but I always would wake up tired because it was too dark to see it getting light out. I ended up going with blackout curtains and an alarm clock that slowly turns the light on over a 30 minute period to mimick the same effect.
Obviously way more of an investment in money, but I find my sleep quality has vastly improved with doing so.
An extra bonus is that blackout curtains can help keep heat out if you live somewhere warm.
Add Bluetooth and your in heaven. I use towels instead but I’ve grown so used to the Bluetooth mask I’ve just purchased multiple…plus I can wash the gross stress sweat smell off them.
I have an amazing sleeping mask that i bought from brookstone some years ago (I was in NY and forgot mine at home so I bought this in line, paying for something else) The fuck thing is not only amazing but is has ben used and washed regularly for over 8 years and it’s in perfect condition. The best “overpriced” thing I ever bought
