Do you struggle with sleep?
For many people all over the world, sleep is hard to come by. Insomnia is a serious issue. Then there is the problem of waking up multiple times throughout the night, struggling to go back to sleep.
Sleep is a necessary part of daily life though. We need 7-8 hours of unperturbed sleep to really help our body and mind to recuperate from the stress of our lives. Thankfully, there are so many gadgets now that can actually help you not only sleep faster but also help you stay asleep throughout the night.
A Smart Mattress that records your sleeping patterns
It’s called an Eight Smart Mattress, and it is designed to improve your quality of sleep by monitoring your sleep patterns based on body movement, breathing rate, and other variables. Do you wake up feeling too cold or too hot? No worries. This mattress comes with a dual-zone bed warming feature that lets you and your partner set different temperatures for each side of the bed. If that’s too expensive for you, the mattress cover is a great way to go, at a fraction of the cost.
Use ‘Calm’ to help you unplug from the hustle
Calm is an app that has mainly three categories; music, meditate, and sleep. All designed to help you sleep. Some of the sounds that you can use for background music include crackling fire, waterfall, and evening crickets. There are also recorded bedtime stories by famous personalities like Stephen Fry. The music tab has electronic music, played to peaceful pictures of sunsets and waterfalls. There is also guided meditation to help you become calm before drifting off to sleep.
Breathe clean to sleep clean with Awair
Awair tracks toxins and chemicals in your sleep environment. Including humidity, dust, carbon dioxide, and temperature. Whenever there is a change, it will record it for you. By tracking this data, you will be able to create a healthier and safer environment to sleep in. If you are waking up because of breathing problems or allergy-like systems, it must be that the air you are breathing isn’t clean enough.
Use Dodow- An Insomniac’s solution to sleep faster
The creators of this neat little gadget claim that it can help anyone fall asleep in just 8 minutes. Dodow is a disc that projects blue light on the ceiling. This light expands and contracts, matching the rhythm of your breathing. This has a hypnotizing effect, which slows your breathing down and calms you enough to help you sleep.
Do you wake yourself up from snoring too loud? Try Cliõ
Snoring doesn’t just affect your sleep, but your partner’s too. Cliõ is a gadget that you insert into your pillow. It tracks the early sounds of snoring and before giving it a chance to grow loud enough to cause you or your partner to wake up, Cliõ gently inflates the pillow to move the head of the snorer, thus causing the snoring to stop.
Still can’t sleep? Maybe try cuddling with a sleep robot
Nope, not a gimmick. Somnox is a real thing. In fact, it’s the world’s first sleep robot. No, it doesn’t have limbs. It actually looks like a huge peanut. You rest it on your bed and hug it. You can then feel its “body” rise and fall as if it’s breathing against you. This movement calms your body down too, and your breathing pattern slows and starts mimicking the robot’s breathing. Before you know it…you are both sound asleep!
Create the perfect ambiance for an easy slumber
Philips Hue White & Color Starter Kit is a smart lighting system that comes with a ton of different settings. This includes a sunset mode, which creates this warm orange ambiance that then signals your brain to calm down. Warm colors like orange and yellow have been proven to trigger sleep because they are the colors of fire.
