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.

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

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.
