A familiar scene for everyone: you’re lying in bed at night, sleep won’t come, your hand reaches for the phone on its own, and your finger goes straight to the AliExpress icon. That’s exactly how I ended up glued to my screen in the middle of the night once again, jumping from category to category and methodically filling up my cart. But that’s a separate story — for now, here are ten AliExpress products I ordered half-asleep, and come morning I didn’t regret a single one.

Waterproof Bicycle Phone Bag

Cool case — holds the phone securely

Cool case — holds the phone securely

I tossed this bicycle bag into my cart around three in the morning, when my brain had already given up arguing with my hands. And in the morning I woke up and realized — half-asleep me is a genius. The waterproof bicycle bag mounts on the frame, holds phones up to 6.5 inches under a transparent window through which the touchscreen works perfectly. Rain, dust, bumpy roads — it handles everything. Now I don’t have to pull my smartphone out of my pocket at every traffic light. For that kind of money — absolutely no question, I should have gotten it ages ago.

Lightweight Running Backpack for Training

Running with this backpack is pure pleasure

Running with this backpack is pure pleasure

A wave of sporty inspiration hit me at night, and I ordered the running backpack I’d been thinking about for two weeks. In the morning I was even surprised at what a smart move it was. It’s so light you barely feel it on your back, fits snugly and doesn’t bounce around while running — which is the main problem with all running backpacks. There are compartments for water, phone, and small items. Put it on, start running, forget it’s even there. I’m a genius!

Mini 2-in-1 Starry Sky Projector

I turn it on every day: haven't regretted the purchase once

I turn it on every day: haven’t regretted the purchase once

This is pure late-night vibes — saw it, got mesmerized, ordered it, fell asleep. And when the package arrived, I realized that half-asleep me had found a treasure. The mini projector fills the ceiling with stars and nebulae, switches between modes, and creates an atmosphere in the room that used to require a trip to the mountains. I turn it on in the evening instead of regular lights — and the room transforms into a planetarium. Kids who visit literally refuse to leave from under the starry sky — is my home a planetarium or what?

Big Toe Correctors

Also an awesome thing, walking has become more comfortable

Also an awesome thing, walking has become more comfortable

I ordered this thing early in the morning in a half-sleep state, while scratching my toes. And, surprisingly, I didn’t make a mistake. The silicone big toe correctors gently separate it from the neighboring toe, relieve tension after wearing tight shoes, and genuinely make life easier for those who spend a lot of time on their feet. Put them on at home in the evening — and your feet can breathe. The set comes with two pieces, the material is comfortable and doesn’t chafe. A tiny inexpensive thing that you’ll only appreciate once you try it.

Compact Muscle Massage Gun

I don't know how I lived without the massager. My back feels brand new!

I don’t know how I lived without the massager. My back feels brand new!

I ordered this Xiaomi massager in the middle of the night after a tough workout, when my muscles were aching and self-pity was off the charts. In the morning — not a single regret. The Mijia Mini Fascia Gun works out tight muscles, relieves tension in the back and legs, and it’s small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Several intensity modes, long battery life, and nearly silent operation. After the gym or a long day at the computer — an indispensable thing. Xiaomi once again made something compact and practical.
