12 Gadgets To Help You Sleep Better

12Under Armour Smart PJS

If you’re not looking for any fancy sleep gadgets for your nightstand, these new smart pajamas may be the perfect solution for a restful night of shut-eye — especially if you’re an athlete.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady – an athlete who makes his sleep a priority — worked with Under Armour to develop these new pajamas so other athletes, and other people, can “rest, win and repeat,” too.

Under Armour’s new “Athlete Recovery Sleepwear” features a hexagonal infrared pattern on the inside of its shirts and pants, which helps your body recover faster, promotes sleep and reduces inflammation. Using athletic company TB12’s recovery technology, this print “absorbs the body’s natural heat and reflects Far Infrared back on the skin,” Under Armour explains.

These new pajamas are available on Under Armour’s website and in select Under Armour stores for around $100 per piece.

11Nora

Say goodbye to nose strips and ear plugs, Toronto-based tech company NORA says it has a solution for snoring.

NORA aims to be a non-invasive, silent and portable tech gadget. You place one piece of it on a surface near your bed and the second piece (a padded insert) in your pillow. When the device detects any snoring, the mini pump in the pillow insert will inflate and deflate — gently moving the pillow, and as a result, stops snoring.

With an estimated release of November 2016, you can pre-order NORA for $300.

10Nox Sleep Light

It may be time to disable your iPhone alarm clock. Here’s a bedside system that aims to help you naturally wake up.

By placing a giant band on top of your mattress, the Nox system measures sleep patterns, heart rate, breathing rate and how much you’re tossing and turning.

The data gathered is sent to an app connected to a bedside light that aspires to provide the perfect lighting and sounds to wake you up naturally. The light also apparently helps you get sound sleep by producing red wavelengths and soothing sounds that increase melatonin levels.

Nox is available on Amazon for $149.99.

9Chrona Pillow Insert

It may look like a pillow, but it does a lot more.

“Chrona turns any pillow into a Smartpillow,” says the company’s website. The pillow topper tracks and enhances the quality of your sleep by measuring the movements of your head and torso.

It emits low-frequency noises to boost your deep sleep and higher frequency ones to help you wake up.

You can pre-order the Chrona pillow insert for $169 for delivery by January 2017.

82breathe Sleep Inducer

The first thing we’re often told to do to cope with stress and anxiety is breathe. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.

2breathe may make your life easier. It’s a sensor worn around the torso to monitor your inhales and exhales and transmits the data to an app via Bluetooth. The app then transforms the breathing into tones that guide the user in sleep-inducing breathing exercises.

2breathe is available on Amazon for $189.95.

7Glo To Sleep And Wake Mask

Time to lose your old cotton sleep mask and upgrade to this digital one that not only helps you fall asleep, but wake up, too.

6Sense Sleep System

Sense claims to be the most compact sleep monitor on the market today. It may the most beautiful, too.

By placing the ball-shaped gadget on your bedside table and clipping the “Sleep Pill” (no bigger than the size of a quarter) to your pillow, Sense monitors your sleep and provides a full summary. From heat, sound, brightness, humidity, air quality and noise levels — the device aims to help you understand and improve every aspect of your zzz’s.

Noise is one of the top sleep disruptors, and traditional earplugs just don’t cut it for many people.

Hush Smart Earplugs are available at various online retailers like Brookstone.com for $149.99.

2Aura Connected Alarm Clock

1Powersiesta

Trying to fall asleep mid-flight can often be an exhausting exercise in futility. But a surprisingly low tech solution is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign — an eco-friendly, ergonomic and compact cardboard pillow that allows travelers to get some sleep without twisting themselves into knots trying to get comfortable.

It was apparently designed by a literal rocket scientist. The San Juan, Puerto Rico-based venture is aiming to raise $35,000 by Jan. 16 to work towards shipping the first PowerSiesta’s this spring.
