Besides giving you gift ideas, we’ll also tell you about the science behind them. All these gift ideas are scientifically proven to be the best gifts for naps or a good night’s sleep.
Blissful Sleep and Beautiful Skin with a Blissy Sleep Mask
Blissy designed these sleep masks to completely block light. That includes harsh daylight during naps, making them excellent gifts for people who like to nap.
Blissy sleep masks are moisture-retaining. That means using them results in healthy, hydrated skin and better sleep quality.
The science: Sleep masks help you fall asleep
So what exactly makes sleep masks good gifts for people who like to nap?
A recently published review in Building and Environment found that a sleep environment with as little light as possible is best for falling asleep. In fact, sleeping in total darkness can boost alertness and episodic memory.
Sleep mask skin benefits
Our sleep masks do more than make it possible to take a good nap. They also have cooling effects, soothing the eyes and allowing you to rest easily and wake feeling refreshed.
Each sleep mask is moisture-retaining, resulting in healthy, hydrated skin and better sleep quality overall.
Blissy Sleep Masks to the rescue
If the sleep lovers in your life have trouble napping thanks to too much light, our sleep masks can help! Blissy Sleep Masks help create a dark environment that’s perfect for falling asleep. Your loved ones can enjoy a good nap and feel wide awake and alert afterward.

Restful Naps and a Good Night's Sleep with a Blissy Silk Pillowcase
Blissy Silk Pillowcases are also great gifts for people who like to nap. Your loved ones can enjoy a good night’s sleep in a comfortable environment. Blissy silk pillowcases are ultra-soft and are nice and cool to the touch.
The science: Comfortable sleep environments are key
To fall asleep and stay asleep, the temperature of our sleep environment needs to be just right. A 2017 review published in Energy and Buildings found that the thermal environment in bedrooms is key to getting a good night’s sleep.
What does this mean? If your body gets too warm or too cold while sleeping due to changes in air temperature, your sleep quality could suffer. When choosing gifts for people who like to nap, this is an important point to remember.
The thermoregulating powers of silk pillowcases
Blissy makes pillowcases from high-quality silk that offers thermoregulating powers. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase helps keep your body temperature consistent, so you won’t get too hot or cold. That’s a perfect feature for sleep lovers in your life!

A pleasant sleep environment can make it much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Even those who love sleep sometimes need a bit of help at bedtime or nap time. Aromatherapy in the form of sleep and pillow mists is a great idea!
The science: Smells and sleep
In 2017, researchers published a study in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine where participants were treated to eucalyptus essential oil aromatherapy before sleep. The researchers found that this essential oil helped improve sleep quality and lowered stress levels.
Essential oils for deep sleep
