Strands #420
“Sleep tight”
🟡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. This was an easy one, even as someone who - much to the frustration of my frequently insominac partner - has no trouble falling asleep.
"Sleep tight" can only refer to sleeping, and I saw the spangram of BEDTIME across the grid from left to right straight away.
I then found MASK below it, which cordoned off EARPLUGS to its right. Clearly this was a puzzle dedicated to the kind of sleep aids I have no need for.
Still, I found MEDITATION in the top-right corner, followed by MOUTHGUARD to its left. That just left the anagram of MINENOLAT to unpick in the bottom-left corner. It was, of course, MELATONIN.
