Dawn Super, who was diagnosed with narcolepsy when she was 11, told us about the things she uses to go to sleep—anywhere.

"It's nearly impossible for me to stay awake for more than six hours, so if I have to leave my house for ten hours, the only option I have is to nap in my car. One of my favorite phrases is 'Take the nap before it takes you.'" –As told to Kitty Guo

Her headphones "I lock myself in, cover my eyes, and put on my headphones to help me relax and mask outside noise."

Her playlist "The om chanting reduces my cortisol levels and lets me be more aware of if I'm awake or dreaming."

Her pillowMakimoo Memory Foam Travel Pillow now 9% off "Sometimes I use a neck pillow to hold my neck in place, or I'll put it between my head and the window."

Her makeshift shades "I cover the windows with scarves, then shut the doors on them so that I can open a window if I need to."

Her real shadeWindshield Sun Shade now 14% off "And then I have a sunshade for the front windshield. Thankfully, I have a Prius, which means I can run the AC and not eat up all my gas."

Her secret weapon From $42 "I almost always have a sweater with me, too. I have used my sweaters as pillows, blankets, and window-blockers."

Liza Corsillo and Ambar Pardilla share their recommendations for everyday workwear, comfortable shoes , and more.

What are some office-appropriate flats that won't give me blisters?

Liza Corsillo: I recently got a pair of Rothy's mary janes. I wore them for the first time, without socks, while walking all over Manhattan. I didn't even get the hint of a blister.

Where could my six-foot- two husband shop for classy but approachable clothes that he could wear out to, say, a nice restaurant? Something in between a T-shirt and jeans and a suit.

L.C.: My brother is that same height, and he's had a lot of luck with Quince . This pair of performance chinos has a good amount of stretch and come in multiple inseams.

A women's white button-down that's classic and not too expensive?

Ambar Pardilla: I wrote our guide to button-downs , so this is my expertise. I have been buying J.Crew shirts for a decade—the Garçon (tailored) and the Étienne (oversize) are the new ones—but I'm also a fan of Everlane's Boxy Oxford .
