1/ Earbuds for an easy night.

If you need white noise to fall asleep or are a light sleeper, the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds [$229; soundcore .com] can help—on the road or at home with a partner. With memory foam tips and a secure silicone fin, these tiny buds stay put, and once the case detects snoring, the active noise-canceling masks its pitch, keeping you asleep. Prefer white noise? Sound- core's app lets you customize a relaxing soundtrack, and the earbuds last nine hours on a full charge—enough to get through a whole night.
