We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it's vital that we get quality slumber whenever we can. Even if you yourself sleep like a log, you probably know someone who may be chronically tired or struggles with getting shut-eye. In fact, it's estimated that 68 percent of Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week. So, the next time you're shopping around for holidays and birthdays, why not skip the boxed candy and give the insomniac in your life something to help them sleep?
