Bose noise-masking Sleepbuds are $50 off

TL;DR: The genius Bose Sleepbuds turn off the world while you sleep, and they’re on sale for $199 — saving you $50.

The ability to fall asleep easily is severely taken for granted. Just like the person with 20/20 vision doesn’t realize how lucky they are to not need glasses, the person who zonks in five minutes doesn’t realize how lucky they are to not be restless at 3 a.m.

When a fancy pillow or CBD gummies aren’t helping, sleep tech may be your next step. The Bose noise-masking Sleepbuds are almost never on sale otherwise, but for Prime Day, you can snag them for $199.

Yes, you could technically pick a “nature sounds” playlist on Spotify and sleep with your AirPods in — but the Sleepbuds were made to be slept on for eight or 10 hours, even if you sleep on your side. Choose from 10 tunes like stream, waterfall, airplane, and more to lull you to sleep and distract you from any outside noises interrupting your Zzzs. They don’t claim to be noise-cancelling, like Bose’s other masterpieces, but the way they get your brain to tune into the noise and tune out exterior hums is pretty magical. Even if your problem is unexplained insomnia, making your mind process white noise without conjuring up emotion or thought could be helpful.

If your beloved partner is a snorer, these are great to silence the drone without having to sleep on the couch — but if you’re the snorer yourself, you may need an extra level of protection.

“I bought these to mask partner’s snoring and they work WELL. But- as a TOTAL surpsrise bonus-they also help tremendously with my underlying NON- snoring related insomnia. I now use them even when I sleep alone. I now take half or none of the sleeping pills I used to need. They help my brain wind down and go to sleep. I used to dread the lie-in-bed-and-wait to sleep process. I don’t anymore. I think these help ease your brain into delta waves and deep sleep. Its pretty amazing. Try them for any sort of insomnia, not just noise related. I never expected that. I know I am not the only person who struggles with insomnia.”
