What to put in a night shift sleep kit

16 Aug 2026 · PairRest

If you are packing a bag for nights, you do not need a ten-step routine. You need three physical tools that still work when the sun is up.

  1. A contoured blackout mask so leftover daylight does not win.
  2. A compact sound machine so the house can keep living.
  3. Gentle mouth tape if you wake yourself dry. Not a treatment. Not for apnea.

That is the Night Shift Sleep Kit. Buy the pieces apart if you already know which one you are missing.
