Transform your sleep space with smart technology
10/16/2024
Using technology in the bedroom can be a barrier to deep, restful sleep, but smart gadgets are an exception. Smart technology can transform your sleep schedule, with gadgets that can help you fall asleep quickly, keep you asleep and wake you up gradually. Check it out.
What smart devices can help me sleep better?
Swapping out your regular mattress for a smart bed can improve your sleep. These advanced beds can automatically adjust based on your sleeping position, keeping you resting comfortably throughout the night. Through a connected app, you can adjust the temperature and view health and sleep patterns tracked by the mattress. If that's too big of a change, you could instead opt for a smart mattress pad.
If snoring is a problem, smart pillows offer a solution. Smart pillows track your head's position while you sleep, and when snoring is detected, they adjust the inflation to move your head until you're breathing normally again. Similar to most smart devices, these pillows allow you to access sleep data through a connected app.
What other gadgets can I use in my bedroom?
When it comes to falling asleep, creating a relaxing environment is key. Smart gadgets like lightbulbs, speakers and blinds allow you to create a custom bedtime routine. Each night around your set time, your smart blinds can go down automatically and your smart bulbs can change to your chosen calming colors or even mimic the setting sun to help you drift off to sleep. Smart speakers can play music, white noise or any other sound you'd like to help you sleep better throughout the night.
In the morning, smart speakers can also be used as an alarm, playing a typical jarring sound or even turning on the radio or playing a set song or playlist. If you prefer a less jarring routine, smart bulbs can mimic the colors of a sunrise, helping you wake up gradually. Taking it another step further — literally — rug alarm clocks require you to stand on the mat to turn them off, giving you an incentive to actually get out of bed.
Other helpful smart gadgets include eye masks, flat earphones, and even an app-controlled device that is placed under a mattress and vibrates gently, helping you fall asleep and stay asleep.
With a wide range of gadgets that can help you fall asleep, rest comfortably and wake up refreshed, these advanced devices can meet almost every need. If you're looking to improve your sleep schedule, making your bedroom a little smarter is a great option.
