Track Your Sleep
Tracking your sleep patterns is the first step in seeing if you're getting enough rest. Wearable devices will track quantity and quality of sleep, and "smart beds" can offer the same technology without having to wear anything. Sleep data gets sent to an app, so that you can clearly see your patterns.
Keep It Cool
Scientists believe the optimum mattress temperature is between 60-68 degrees Fahrenheit. Mattress companies are beginning to recognize this and offer mattresses or toppers that can maintain a cooler temperature throughout the night.
Eliminate Noise
Smart white noise players now have the ability to recognize noise levels in your bedroom and counteract them with soothing tones. Sounds like birds, traffic, and electronics are masked effectively, making it easier to fall asleep.
Automatic Adjustments
With the aid of sensors, smart beds can adjust automatically based on your needs. If it senses you are snoring, the pillow will elevate slightly. Pressure and firmness change throughout the night, depending on how you shift while you're sleeping.
Many of these available technologies link with apps, which make them simple to control. You can use the data they provide to see what areas of your sleep need improvement. Stay on the lookout for these new sleep technologies!
