Better sleep is not just a matter of personal health. Plentiful and high-quality rest is a a critical component of operational readiness and performance for first responders.

Improved sleep can help your brain sort and resolve the day-to-day stress of working in public safety, aid your body’s recovery from physical exertion of the work and prepare your brain to perceive risks and make sound judgments when you return to duty. Waking up refreshed and restored can also strengthen your off-the-job relationships with friends and family.

Amazon has hundreds of products on sale this President’s Day weekend, including these featured deals to upgrade your sleep.

5. Alarm clock

A sunrise alarm is a great way to tap into your body’s natural waking abilities through light. Though not for everyone, a sunrise alarm clock mimics the slow transition from night to day, giving your body and mind an opportunity to gently warm up, instead of being jolted into consciousness. This type of alarm is a good choice for shift workers, as you can reap the benefits of a sunrise even if your day starts at 3 a.m.
