Sleep Pretty in Pink
The Pretty in Pink Sleeping Mask and Ear Plugs may be the best present you can give the women in your life. The National Sleep Foundation recommends eye masks and earplugs for getting deep restorative sleep and Pretty in Pink is the most sleep-fashionable way to do it. The new Sleep Pretty In Pink Sleeping Mask is feather light, has deep cut outs so it doesn’t interfere with eye lashes and creates a total “black out” effect while the silky soft Pretty in Pink Ear Plugs are easy to wear and reduce 32 decibels of noise, which means traffic noise or a snoring partner won’t disrupt a good night’s sleep. (Visit www.SleepinPink.com to download the iPhone app to record, play back and measure the decibels of your boyfriend’s or husband’s snoring!)
Available: Mass merchandisers, drugstores and online at select retailers
Retail: Price varies depending on retailer (under $10)

Adequate sleep is essential for health, but for those (most people) who can’t seem to get enough at night, a restful power nap can suffice.
