Getting enough sleep is integral to maintaining both physical and mental health, but doing so can be a bigger challenge than many of us expect.

WATCH: Get a better night’s sleep with these comfort hacks

Recent studies suggest that around 4 in 10 Australian adults aren’t getting enough sleep. While some people reports sleep disorders as the cause, such as insomnia, others struggle with bedtime stress and poor sleep habits.

Most adults require around 8 hours sleep per night to be fully functioning humans, but procuring those precious hours of sleep can sometimes be a challenges, particularly if your bedroom isn’t optimised for facilitating deep, restful sleep. In fact, some studies have even found not getting enough sleep has the same effect as being drunk. 

Never fear, for we’ve rounded up some of the most popular sleep-inducing products of 2019 for your perusal.

1. Weighted blanket

Weighted blankets claim to ease stress and anxiety, while promoting a calm and relaxed mindset. The theory is that the blanket mimics the feel of being hugged or held and helps you fall into a deeper sleep.
