Not all of us have the luxury of sleeping in if we want to feel refreshed when we wake up, so here are some of the best sleep gadgets for getting a good night’s rest. 

Jumping into bed after a long day can be a joyous activity, but if you struggle to drift off, it can be a daunting task. Thankfully, there are plenty of sleep gadgets around that aim to lend a helping hand by encouraging a blissful slumber.

Whether you’re in need of a soothing voice to put you to sleep, or bedding that regulates your body temperature, our round up of the best sleep gadgets has something for every kind of sleeper. This Class 1 graded medical device uses gradual and fading light to encourage a regular sleep pattern. The different lighting effects aim to either energise you so you feel alert in the morning, or help you to feel pleasantly drowsy in the evening when it is time to wind down. With a sunset and sunrise feature, you can gently nod off and rise with the help of the authentic pink, orange and red colours and pretend you’re relaxing on a sunny beach rather than watching Netflix in your room. 

If you like the thought of meditation but feel you lack the patience to properly commit, this sleep gadget with its short, guided sessions could be your solution. There are over 200 sessions to choose from so you can easily mix it up each night. This would work well if you like drifting off to sound before you sleep, but find podcasts or audiobooks too lively or gripping.

There are three keys to turn which allow you to put together your own creation. The first one lets you choose a theme, the second one selects the session and then finally, you can choose how long you’d like to listen for, with a range of 8 to 20 minutes. So thanks to the varying keys and their functions, you can discover what works best for you by trying out a range of routines.

With no screens or wires, and a lovely beech finish, this low-maintenance sleep gadget could easily slot into your room and if you find yourself getting attached, you can even take it on your travels due to its neat, portable nature.

One for the kids here, but let’s face it, anything that helps them sleep is a win for the whole household.

This fun, little, almost robot-looking gadget allows children to nod off to their favourite story. Just slot a card into the machine and it’ll start to play their tale of choice.

The cards are bought separately (so that’s an easy birthday and Christmas present sorted) and there is a wide library of podcasts, stories and music to choose from so your kids can put together their very own library.

The unique pixel display is a fun way of informing kids of the time and weather without acting as another screen in their life and you can also set specific times for sleeping and waking, so if your little ones are struggling to get into a steady routine, this handy gadget could help. And what’s more, when it’s not playing the Gruffalo or Paddington, it works as a Bluetooth speaker so everyone in the house can find a reason to use it.

Struggling to stay awake at your desk? Here are the best office gadgets to help liven up your working day. And there are plenty of experiences to choose from on the app, from white noise tracks and the typical relaxing sounds of ocean waves or rainfall, to guided body relaxation and breathing exercises. Plus, the app is able to capture sleep tracking data, and recommend audio based on your answers to questions about your sleep.
