Smart Sleeping For Insomnia

Smart sleeping is the latest buzz word for the best sleep gadgets out there. Put simply any technology that can be used to enhance your sleep could be considered a smart sleeping product. All the big technology companies have realised that there are a huge number of people out there who need a solution to their sleepless nights. So they put their best inventors on the job and came up with a whole host of solutions to the problem.

Stress and anxiety are the number one causes of sleep problems. When your mind is unable to switch off after a busy, stressful day you take your worries into the bedroom with you. Technology experts have realised that teaching your mind to unplug at the end of the day is hugely important.

Here are just some of the products that they have come up with to help you get a better nights sleep.

The Avantek Sleep White Noise Machine

The Avantek sleep white noise machine is a sleep gadget that does plenty at a great price point. You can choose from other 20 sounds to help send you to sleep. There is white noise to cut out background sounds but also sounds of nature such as waves or rain as well as 6 different fan sounds. You can also adjust the volume between 30 different levels.

This brilliant little machine doesn’t just help adults it can also be used with babies and children. You can leave it on a timer for between 1 and 7 hours and just let it do its thing. I know that this is also a great product for clients who have tinnitus as it helps to distract from the internal sounds so you can fall asleep.

Withings – Sleep Sensing & Home Automation Pad

The Withings sleep sensing pad is designed to be set up under your mattress. It should automatically sync with your wi-fi so that it can start to track just how well you are sleeping. The product is designed to analyse your heart rate, sleep cycle, snoring and even breathing so that you can make changes that will assist your sleep quality.

What makes this machine really helpful is its ability to check on your breathing. They report that 1 in 4 people using the pad discovered breathing disturbances which could be a sign of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can create problems with tiredness, headaches and difficulty concentrating during the day.

Bluetooth Sleep Headphones

Fed up of your traditional headphones falling out whilst you are in bed? Then these bluetooth sleep headphones solve the problem as the sound is included in a headband that you can wear at night. Just link via Bluetooth to your mobile or tablet and you can get access to your sounds of choice. You can also use these for sport or other activities which means that you will get plenty of use from your purchase.

DoDow Sleep Aid Device

The best sleep gadgets don’t have to be complicated and this is certainly the case with the DoDow Sleep Aid Device. This is a metronome and light system in one which shines on your ceiling with a pulsing light. It will pulse at a certain speed and the idea is that you synchronise your breathing to the speed of the light. The exercises last for between 8 and 20 minutes then the system will switch itself off. DoDow is suitable if you suffer from stress, chronic insomnia, waking in the night and can use used with children over the age of 6.

Muse: The Brain Sensing HeadBand

If you really want to hear about the very latest technology then we need to talk about the Muse Brain Sensing HeadBand. It calls itself our personal meditation assistant but this takes things to another level.

With this system, you put on the headband, earbuds and start their app. The sounds you hear maybe something like the noises at the beach or in a forest. So far so average until the Muse system starts measuring whether your mind is calm or active. These thoughts are translated into weather sounds. When you are calm you’ll hear peaceful weather sounds when your mind wanders the weather noises intensify guiding you back to the calm. Everything you need to relax and calm your mind.

Philips Hue Bloom Colour Changing LED Smart Mood Lamp

So far I have talked about sound and how that can have an impact on your sleep patterns but we also need to discuss light. The Philips Hue Bloom is a lamp that can be used not just to colour your home but also to impact your sleep.

The lamp has a timer function that allows you to change your lights gradually over time. So at night, you can set the timer to turn your lights off gradually to help you fall asleep. In the morning you can use it as a wake-up light by setting the timer to increase the brightness gradually. The light can also be controlled with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant.

Finally, I couldn’t resist putting in this Bubzi white noise sound machine. This is the cutest sleep machine on the market in the shape of a sleepy owl. Who said the best sleep gadgets had to be for adults?

This owl uses calming lullabies and rotating lights to help kids fall asleep. This machine can make the sound of a mamas heartbeat, bird song or you can choose from 30 lullabies. With a 30 minute automatic turn off you can feel at ease knowing that when you walk away it will not be making noise all night.

Self Hypnosis for Sleep

One of the simplest and cheapest ways that we help our clients get to sleep is with a simple self hypnosis for sleep download. Our guided mediation for sleep audio should be put on when you go to bed and used every evening. The easiest ways to get results from the download is by not listening to it which sounds counter-intuitive. In fact when people are trying too hard to get to sleep it has the opposite effect.

Simply put the guided meditation for sleep on and allow your mind to wander off on your daydreams. After a few listens you brain starts to get bored hearing the same messages again and again and you switch off and drift into a deep sleep. It is a great way of turning off your worries and allowing you mint to rest. Want to try it? Simply head on over to our online shop to get your copy.
