Good sleep is a guarantee of health, vigor and high performance. We found out what useful work our brain does while we sleep, and why it is vital to establish a night rest regime, and now we have found 10 devices that will help improve the quality of sleep.

Smart bed Sleep Number

For those who have few night lamps and sleep trackers, there have recently been entire smart beds that fit perfectly into a smart home and, perhaps, make a little smarter than the owners themselves. The memory mattress Sleep Number fully adjusts to the physique and posture of the sleeper, and the position of the frame is autonomously adjustable on both sides, so you can avoid quarrels with your partner about your comfortable height for sleeping. The position is regulated by the remote, and you can even gently raise the head of the sleeping partner so that it stops snoring. The integrated sensor technology SleepIQ remembers the owners' favorite positions and gently returns owners to them during sleep, gives tips on how to optimize rest, suggests how to eat and exercise properly. In general, robots are attacking.

About the Sleep Number there are a variety of reviews, so that we approach the purchase carefully. You can wait and wait for the even more smart ReST bed to enter the market: it will work using the Responsive Surface technology and cost $ 5,000 and go on sale this month. However, there are more affordable ways to make sleep more comfortable - for example, the slatted bottom of an IKEA bed, which can be adjusted using the remote.

Philips Hue Go night light

It is known that lighting seriously affects our daily rhythms and overall sleep quality. Philips, a leading smart lighting technology for some time, has created the Hue Go smart portable night light. In addition to warm white lighting and cool daylight, the device has five more dynamic modes: “cozy candle”, “Sunday coffee”, “meditation”, “enchanted forest” and “night adventure”. In the morning, Hue Go gradually increases the brightness of the lighting, simulating dawn in the room, which, according to the testimony of users, contributes to easy awakening. Many of us are accustomed to waking up to the loud and harsh sounds of an alarm clock, which provide us with at least one stressful situation every day without getting out of bed. The Hue Go lamp can be configured using the smartphone application of the same name, in which the night light is synchronized with the alarm clock, making the early rise compatible with life.

Orthopedic pillow IKEA "Rollek" with memory effect

If robokokrovat while it seems too serious an investment, we recommend to start with a good orthopedic pillow. Rollek from IKEA with a memory foam filler provides support for a comfortable sleep, repeating the contours of the head and neck. According to the manufacturer, eucalyptus wood fiber in the fabric of the cover is responsible for the evaporation of moisture, helping to maintain an even temperature. It’s not comfortable for everyone to sleep on orthopedic pillows, and some doctors believe that there is not enough research confirming the effect of memory pillows on sleep quality. However, trusting positive reviews of their own patients, doctors have nothing against this method of improving sleep and often resort to it themselves.

Air cleaning system Alen BreatheSmart

Contrary to popular myths, the air purifier will not free you from the need to remove dust and regularly ventilate the room, it will not be a panacea for all allergies and will not eliminate the sharp smell in the house in a matter of minutes. At the same time, in the current difficult environmental conditions, air purification systems fall in proportion to residents of large cities, and, in the opinion of doctors, people who suffer from nasal congestion and some types of allergic reactions are significantly easier to sleep. HEPA-filter Alen BreatheSmart with high-efficient particle retention technology is able to clean the air in a room of more than 100 m², it is fully automated, easy to use and has a pleasant design.

Pzizz app

The creators of the free application for Android and iOS have adopted the principles of combining music, words, sound effects and stereo bits to help users get rid of the accumulated stress in a day and finally fall asleep in a deep sleep. You only need to determine the duration of the session - from 10 minutes to 10 hours, and Pzizz generates a unique sleeping soundtrack. The application's media library allows you to produce more than 10 billion combinations of various audio elements. It turns out that this is a very wise decision: people suffering from insomnia claim that the same lulling sounds after a while cease to produce any effect whatsoever. In addition, Pzizz has Power Nap, in case you need to take a quick nap in broad daylight. It is widely believed that daytime sleep can interfere with a good night’s rest, but many scientists argue the opposite.

Sleep mask Escape Luxury Travel Sleep Mask

Scientists advise to sleep in complete darkness, and if sleep is not easy, it is recommended to exacerbate the darkness: curtain the windows with thick curtains and turn off all electronic devices. Sleep masks will come to the aid of night owls. There are a lot of options with built-in bonuses on the market - from sleep trackers to eye patches, but we prefer proven analog versions. The Dream Essentials Escape mask is soft and compact, and therefore ideal for traveling. It is equipped with a rather soft strap that does not squeeze the head or pinch the hair. The inner side of the mask is made of cotton, and the outer side is made of plush. Special recesses for the eyes are also provided, so no pressure is expected on them.

Bath - a great way to relieve stress before bedtime, and aromatherapy will help to enhance the beneficial effect.

Berries in the name are responsible not only for the smell, but also for the color of water - it is no less berry. In addition to the fruity aroma, notes of bergamot and incense are noticeable. Bergamot oil is traditionally used in aromatherapy to relieve nervous tension, combat anxiety and depression, has antibacterial properties. In turn, incense oil relaxes muscles and stabilizes breathing. We breathe deeper, we are less nervous, we fall asleep faster.

Technological bedding Sheex

If you decide in advance to take care of the correct bedding for the summer season, first of all pay attention to the fabric. In the heat, our dream perfectly supports silk underwear: it is thin and does not heat up as fast as cotton or linen. If it seems to you that silk is too slippery, too sensitive to stains and difficult to care for, it’s time to try out new tech materials. The creators of Sheex breathable bedding were inspired by the technology of manufacturing materials for sportswear and claim that Sheex Performance fabric breathes 50% better than cotton and stays cool for much longer. Elastic microfiber sits well on any mattress and pillow, is unpretentious in washing, dries three times faster than cotton, and - attention - does not require ironing, and this is indeed similar to the fabric of the new generation.
