Hi There, The holidays are over, but the gift of great sleep is just beginning. If you're still struggling with a noisy room, a racing mind, or a jarring alarm clock, your sleep environment is likely the culprit. Our editors have hand-selected the top sleep tech and accessories for 2026 to help you build a sanctuary that works for you, not against you. See our 2026 Testing Methodology Oura Ring 4 Ceramic - The Best Sleep Tracker of 2026 Why We Like It: It's the gold standard for wearable tech, providing medical-grade insights without the bulk of a smartwatch. Standout Feature: Built-in sensors monitor heart rate, blood oxygen, and temperature trends to give you a daily "Readiness Score." Good To Know: You'll need a monthly subscription to access your long-term data and personalized coaching. Track My Sleep With Oura Sweet Zzz White Noise Machine - Best White Noise Machine of 2026 Why We Like It: With 29 non-looping sounds, it creates a seamless wall of audio that masks everything from street traffic to noisy neighbors. Standout Feature: Features an automatic shutoff timer for 30, 60, or 90 minutes so it doesn't run all morning. Good To Know: It doesn't have a headphone jack, so it's designed to fill the entire room with sound. Silence My Room With Sweet Zzz SoundOff Noise Masking Earbuds - Best Sleep Earbuds of 2026 Why We Like It: Specifically engineered for side sleepers who need to drown out high-frequency sounds like snoring or sirens. Standout Feature: Emits soothing pink noise, which science shows is more effective for deep sleep than traditional white noise. Good To Know: These are "closed-loop" devices—they do not use Bluetooth, meaning you can only listen to the preset masking sounds. Mask The Noise With Soundoff Saatva Silk Eye Mask - Best Sleep Mask of 2026 Why We Like It: Pure mulberry silk keeps your skin cool and prevents sleep wrinkles while achieving total blackout. Standout Feature: The fiber-fill lining provides a light, "hug-like" compression that helps the eyes relax instantly. Good To Know: This mask is luxury-grade and should only be hand-washed to keep the silk fibers smooth. Block Out The Light With Saatva Loftie Clock - Best Alarm Clock of 2026 Why We Like It: It is the ultimate tool for "phone-free" bedrooms, including built-in meditations and breathwork. Standout Feature: The two-phase alarm mimics a natural wake-up call, using a gentle chime to nudge you awake before the main alarm sounds. Good To Know: You will need a Wi-Fi connection to access the full library of sounds and updates. Upgrade My Wake-Up With Loftie
