Sleep PicksA travel sleep kit that fits in a pocket
Hotel rooms, planes and friends' sofas break every rule in the bedroom check at once.
The kit: an eye mask, foam earplugs, and a white-noise app. The habit: keep your normal wake time as much as you can, and get daylight early on the first morning, which helps your body clock adjust to a new time zone.
Our pick
A contoured eye mask
Manta Sleep (or any contoured mask)
Why: Cupped eye pads that don't press on your eyes, adjustable so light doesn't leak in around the nose. The cheapest fix for early light or a partner's reading lamp.
How to use it: Give it three or four nights; it feels odd at first.
The honest downside: Manta's cups can shift if you sleep on your side. Cheaper contoured masks work well for most people.
