Blackout Curtains
Blackout technology comes in all shapes and sizes, and almost all of them serve a single purpose- to keep natural light out so you can sleep soundly. Whether it be blackout shades, blinds or curtains, these are usually installed on windows and can be controlled to allow or shut out disruptive light.
Much like Sleep Aid Natural, these make the body more conducive to rest. With a blackout shade, all you need to do is raise or move the slats and darken the room, then close your eyes and allow sleep to come.
Sleep Guard
This technology is more for those who have a habit of ‘grinding’ their teeth, which can lead to serious sleep disruption. Sleep Guard is a device that keeps a person from grinding or clenching his or her teeth. The headband monitor produces beeping sounds whenever it detects the wearer grinding, and continues to get louder to train the subconscious brain to stop.
Sleep Monitor
Sleep monitors measure the individual’s brainwaves during sleep and presents them with data that helps them understand their sleep more. It can be a wearable such as a Jawbone UP24 or Fitbit Flex or an app such as Sleep Time, Sleep Cycle and Sleep Bot. For the app, you will need to put your smartphone on the bed so it can detect night movement.
Sleep Mask
Sleep masks may not be technically considered ‘technology’, but they’re very useful and are the most convenient and portable sleep aids in the market. Almost anyone can wear and benefit from a sleep mask. Simply fasten the elastic band over your head, drop the mask down and you won’t be able to see light.
