TEMPERATURE REGULATING SHEET SET

Price: $140, Sharper Image

Also available onAmazon for $123 (normally $129), Target for $124, and Overstock for $104.

We've all been there: we're awoken from our sleep by the heat, and rustle around kicking off our socks and tossing the comforter to the floor. You curse your partner who insists on keeping the air off because they're always cold. What if we told you there is a sheet for that?

The Temperature Regulating Sheet Set is the ultimate solution for “thermally incompatible” couples. It uses the Outlast fabric technology, which was developed for NASA to deal with temperature fluctuations in space. The "phase change" fabric absorbs and stores excess heat from your body. When you cool off, it releases the heat back to your body to maintain a consistent temperature all night long.

"We definitely want you to be cool when you're sleeping. If you're too hot and you feel that the particular sheets that you have are making you too hot, then you can consider a different type of sheet," says Augelli. "Some people will swear by [temperature regulating sheets], others will notice no change. But people need a more breathable sheet. The National Sleep Foundation recommends 200-400 thread count sheets, which allow some air movement."

This set from Sharper Image clocks in at 300 thread count — so if you find yourself laying awake on hot summer nights, they are worth a try.

SENSE WIFI ENABLED SLEEP MONITOR SYSTEM

Price: $130, Amazon

Also available on Lowe's for $150.

Sense by Hello wakes you up feeling great, improves your sleep, and helps you learn how the environment of your bedroom affects your rest.

“The best cure for being unable to fall asleep is utilizing a sleep tracker which is available through many apps," says Lindsey Huttner, LCSW, psychotherapist, located in Queens, NY. "In the app you will document when you get into bed, approximate the time you fall asleep, how long you sleep, how many times you woke and for how long. The app will then 'prescribe' how much sleep you should aim to get."

In addition to tracking your sleep patterns, Sense has an ambient sounds feature to help ease you into asleep (and mask disruptive noise during the night), plus sensors that help you see how your environment (light, sound, temperature, humidity, air quality, etc.) are affecting your sleep (or lack thereof).

POLAR SLEEP PLUS

Price: $154-$209, Jet.com

Also available on Amazon for $40-$122

While Augelli is hesitate to recommend trackers that record sleep time (and unrest) due to a lack of evidence and accuracy, she does say that tracking your sleep patterns can be helpful for some.

"They will give you some idea of your sleep, but they aren’t really able to tell the difference between [REM sleep and deep sleep] with the technology that’s available on them," she says. "It can be helpful if you’re tracking your number of hours of sleep and making sure you get adequate sleep and that you’re going to sleep around the same time. That can be a problem with a lot of people, just not sleeping enough hours. If you’re not getting your seven hours of sleep then this can help track for that."

The Polar sleep system tracks a variety of different metrics, like total duration of sleep, actual sleep time and the time you fall asleep and wake up, plus it allows you to rate your sleep the next morning. Based on the data, Polar Flow will automatically provide feedback on ways to achieve better sleep. Users can then track their timing, amount and quality of sleep over time and make adjustments to their sleep schedule in order to reach their goals.

SLEEP ENVIE PILLOWS

Price: $69, sleepenvie.com

Also available on Amazon for $69.

Your sky-high stress levels may be to blame for all the tossing and turning, but that lumpy pillow sure isn't helping the cause.

The Violet Pillow is infused with lavender, a scent known for its calming properties. And the Skylar Pillow has cooling technology, using a gel memory foam layer on the inside and ice yarn cover on the outside to keep all sides of your pillow cool on hot summer nights.

EYEBUYDIRECT DIGITAL PROTECTION GLASSES

Price: $25 and up, EyebuyDirect.com

If you just can't seem to part with your nightly Netflix ritual, “you should wear blue light blocking sunglasses while watching television,” advises Lekkos.

"There are some small studies that show that the time it takes to fall asleep has been reduced for people who wore the light blocking glasses for several hours before bedtime," adds Augelli. "What you want to do ideally, is put away all your work and phone an hour before bed, in the process of your wind down routine. But if you have to work, you want to employ whatever you can to reduce the amount of impact it will have. Blue light blocking glasses reduce exposure to blue light thast suppresses melatonin, which is our natural hormone that helps with sleep; the decrease in melatonin can prevent you from falling asleep."

The glasses filter out the high energy visible (HEV) blue-violet light from backlit screens, helping to ease the disruption is has on your sleep cycle. Keep a pair next to your bed, ready to grab and slip on when you get sucked into that late-night Friends marathon.

MUTE SNORING

Price: $15, Amazon

Also available on Walgreens for $15.

According to Dr. Michael Gelb, DDS, MS, co-author of the new book GASP!: Airway Health - The Hidden Path to Wellness, more than half of us struggle with breathing through our noses. This struggle often results in snoring. And even if you're part of the lucky half who has no problem breathing at night, there's a good chance your partner's issues are affecting your quality of sleep. Time to trade in the shaking and kicking for tossing a Mute Snoring device their way.

By holding open the nasal airways like a stent, Mute helps noisy snorers and poor nasal breathers by increasing airflow in the nose. You can individually adjust the device for each nostril, so it's comfortable while you sleep. And user trials are promising: 75 percent of people reported less or much less snoring while using Mute.

RESTED APP

Price: Free, The App Store

At one end of the spectrum of restless sleep is sleep apnea, which goes undiagnosed in tens of millions of Americans because the traditional assessment is expensive and time consuming. Which is why the developers behind Rested created the free app, made to measure and analyze your sleep. The app is a great resource for those who may be suffering from sleep apnea and not know it — and also helpful for the rest of us who are looking to track our sleep and take steps towards getting a better night's right.

F.LUX

Price: Free, justgetflux.com

If you’re prone to checking email, or watching Netflix, on your laptop in bed at night, you may want to have your computer screen follow suit with reducing blue light. “You can run apps like f.lux on your laptop or computer that will automatically change the screen color as the day goes on,” says Dr. Lekkos.

Like Night Shift, f.lux uses your location to synchronize your computer with the rising and setting of the sun. At night, f.lux slowly adjusts the colors on your computer screen to a warmer hue that's supposed to be less abrasive on the eyes (especially if you're in an otherwise dark room) and helps reduce your exposure to that blue light that keeps you awake.

"Any platform that will reduce the amount of blue light that is emitted from your electronic devices will be helpful," says Dr. Augelli. "I definitely recommend employing them."

CBT-I COACH APP

Price: Free

“Smartphone apps aren't adequate substitutes for assistance from a professional but they can be helpful adjuncts to treatment for those who wish to track sleep time and quality or for promoting greater physical relaxation before bed,” says Joel Minden, PhD, clinical psychologist at the Chico Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. "CBT-i Coach is nice because it includes a sleep diary. One of the most effective treatments for insomnia is sleep restriction therapy, and tracking sleep data is an important part of the process.”

The app was designed for those who have experienced symptoms of insomnia and are looking to improve their sleep habits. It guides users through the process of learning about sleep, developing a better sleep routine and improving sleep environments. Plus, it has a structured program that teaches strategies proven to help alleviate symptoms of insomnia.

DEFONIC DESKTOP AND MOBILE APP

Price: Free, Google Chrome

"For some people sound is soothing and relaxing and helps deactivate them for sleep," says Augelli. "Some of them will act to cover up other environmental noise, so in those cases it can be helpful, you just want to make sure there is no big change in frequency of that sound. (For example, on the TV when there’s a commercial that’s much louder.) We generally recommend white noise machines because they are pretty stable, but it is helpful for some people to deactivate if they hear something very soothing and that’s part of their wind down routine and they feel comfortable with that."

Think a little natural background noise might help your cause? Available on your desktop, or on your iPhone, the Defonic application allows you to create your own sound experiences by combining 21 different sounds. It has a night mode, with soothing sounds like a fan, rain and white noise, so you can create your own unique sound environment to help you de-stress and prepare for sleep.

NIGHT SHIFT, IPHONE FEATURE

“Way too many people are on their smartphone, tablet, reading device or watch TV just before going to bed. What people do not realize is that there is a blue light that is emitted from these devices that (when it hits the back of the eye) will stimulate brain waves that promote our 'awake' state of mind, thus making it very difficult to fall and stay asleep,” says Dr. Apostolos Lekkos, found of Bios Functional Medicine. “Many smartphones now have the 'Night Shift' feature that you can turn on to block this blue light.”

To enable the feature on your iPhone, go to Settings, Display & Brightness, and then schedule Night Shift for the hours you will be winding down for bed (and sleeping). By doing this, you're telling your phone to move the color spectrum from cooler (blue) towards warmer (yellow) to limit your exposure to sleep-disrupting blue light at night. It will then readjust the tones in the morning when the sun rises.
