How It Works


Built by a Shift Worker, for Shift Workers



I know the struggle firsthand. Working nights left me exhausted, frustrated, and desperate for real sleep solutions. I tried everything — blackout curtains, flimsy masks, noisy earplugs, even expensive gadgets. Most either didn’t work or cost way too much.


That’s why I created Shift Sleep: a simple, affordable system that bundles together the right products that actually help night workers rest during the day. No more guesswork. No more wasted money. Just better sleep.





The Shift Sleep System



Here’s what’s inside — and why each product matters:



 Blackout Curtains



Daylight is the biggest enemy of daytime sleep. Our blackout curtains block out up to 99% of light so your room finally feels like night, no matter the hour.



 3D Sleep Mask



Most masks press against your eyes, leaving you uncomfortable. Our contoured 3D mask keeps pressure off while still blocking light — perfect for deep, uninterrupted rest.



Noise-Blocking Earplugs



Whether it’s traffic, housemates, or neighbours, daytime noise is a constant issue. Our earplugs cut down distractions so you can fall — and stay — asleep.



 
Weighted Blanket



Shift work wrecks your body clock and raises stress. Weighted blankets provide deep-pressure comfort, proven to reduce anxiety and help you drift into restorative sleep faster.





Why We Bundle



Most shift workers buy these things separately — a mask here, curtains there, earplugs from the pharmacy. But it adds up fast, and often the quality isn’t good enough.


We source carefully, test everything, and bring it together in one kit designed specifically for shift workers. That means:


  • Convenience: no hunting for products individually.
  • Value: our bundle costs less than buying separately.
  • Peace of mind: everything works together for maximum effect.






Our Promise



We’re not just another store selling gadgets. We’re shift workers ourselves, creating solutions for the exact problems we’ve lived through.


Because your sleep matters too.

THE COMPLETE SYSTEM

What’s included in the Complete System?

The Complete Sleep System (£89) includes everything you need to sleep during the day:


✓ Weighted Blanket (12lb/5.4kg, 48” × 72”)
✓ Blackout Curtains (2 panels, 46” × 54” each)
✓ 3D Sleep Mask (contoured, blocks all light)
✓ Premium Earplugs (reusable, with case)
Worth £145+ if purchased separately. Save £56 by getting the complete system.


Also available: Sleep Essentials bundle (£79) - everything except the weighted blanket.

Why do I need all four items?

Sleeping during the day requires creating a complete nighttime environment:


Blackout curtains eliminate ambient sunlight in your room
Weighted blanket calms your nervous system so you can relax
Sleep mask handles any remaining light that sneaks in
Earplugs block daytime noise that curtains can’t


Each item addresses a different barrier to daytime sleep. Together, they create what sleep scientists call an “optimal sleep environment” - dark, quiet, cool, and calming.


A sleep mask alone isn’t enough. This is a system.

Is the weighted blanket safe?

Yes.


The 12lb (5.4kg) weighted blanket is recommended for adults weighing 165-250 lbs (75-113 kg), following the 7-12% body weight guideline.


Safe for:


• Adults who meet the weight range
• Side sleepers, back sleepers, stomach sleepers
• Year-round use (breathable fabric)
Not recommended for:
• Children under 5 years old
• People with respiratory issues
• People with circulation problems


The weighted blanket uses high-density glass beads (not plastic pellets) distributed evenly in box-stitched compartments. It’s designed to create gentle, even pressure - like a firm hug - not crushing weight.


If you have any health concerns, consult your doctor before using a weighted blanket.
