While we often hear that technology is best left out of the bedroom, there are certain gadgets that can improve your sleep and help you drift off easily each night. If you want to improve your sleep with the help of technology, check out these cool gadgets that can help you sleep better.
Dodow
The Dodow is a small, wireless speaker that can easily fit on your bedside table. This device is meant to help control your breathing, in order to fall asleep easier. It omits a small blue light onto the ceiling which expands slowly, to recreate breathing. Focusing on your breathing and being in the present moment can help you sleep. If you are stressed and find it difficult to silence that mental chatter, deep breathing exercises could calm this for good.
Philips Hue White & Color Starter Kit
Smart lights are a great investment if you don’t have a bedside lamp. Not only are these lights colorful and dimming, they can be set to help you wake up and fall asleep. If you can’t sleep without a light on, these lights can be set to slowly dim as you fall asleep, creating a relaxing atmosphere. They also include a wake-up sequence, where they slowly brighten to wake you up naturally, without the need for an alarm.
Sound Oasis Illumy
Do you work in a job role that requires you to sleep in the day and wake up at night? Sometimes eye masks are not enough, and it can be almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep when you work shifts like these. This eye mask was designed around an idea from NASA, in which they used red and blue lights to help the astronauts sleep while in space.
Fitbit
Since their creation, Fitbits have transformed into a revolutionary way to improve fitness and sleep. The latest version tracks your sleep, including your REM cycle. From this, your Fitbit can tailor an exercise and sleep routine that could improve your sleep. Furthermore, the premium version offers relaxation tools and guided sleep programs.
Good Night Stop Snoring Ring
While this isn’t a technical gadget, it has high reviews and can stop snoring. If your partner snores, getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult, even with the help of earplugs. This simple ring presses into a specific pressure point which has been scientifically proven to stop snoring. Snoring can also affect your quality of sleep and lead to dry mouth. Laying on your back can further worsen snoring. Finding a more comfortable pillow can help with this; try one with memory foam to allow you to sleep on your side.
Flare Audio Sleeep
Regular earplugs not working? Most earplugs don’t work as they stick out of your ears, limiting side sleeping or become too painful during the night. If you sleep in the day or struggle to sleep without total silence, these earplugs are comfortable and are made of aluminum, blocking out all noise and leaving you to sleep easy.
Essential Oil Diffuser
If you want to create a comforting and tranquil space, you may want to invest in an essential oil diffuser. These are becoming increasingly popular and you can pick one up for as little as $20. Essential oils are known for inducing calm and with the soothing sounds of water, an essential oil diffuser could really help you sleep. Many of these include a timer, so it will turn off once you have fallen asleep.
No matter how much you want to invest in a good night’s sleep, there is a gadget here for anyone looking to sleep better.
