What the Tech: Gadgets to help you sleep better
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - If you have your share of sleepless nights, you’re not alone.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep nightly, but many of us fall short, especially during springtime when sleeplessness surges by over 100%.
While familiar solutions like white noise machines and sleep apps exist, new tech is emerging to revolutionize how we sleep.
Ditch the white noise machine.
The Beyond Sleep VibraSonic bed boasts built-in subwoofers and satellite speakers for an immersive sound experience.
The memory foam mattress sits on an adjustable frame. Using a remote control, you can raise and lower your feet and head to be your most comfortable for sleeping and lounging. There’s also a zero-gravity setting that’s said to relieve any pressure on your back or legs.
Several massage settings vibrate the bed, and some lights illuminate under the frame which allows you to hop out of bed late at night without waking your partner.
The real star is the sound.
Connect your smartphone to play games, stream movies, or play white noise to go to sleep. Connect it to a TV or gaming system to transform your bed into a sound haven.
We’ve tried the VibraSonic bed while watching the latest Jack Reacher series on Amazon Prime. Every car crash, explosion and fistfight sounded as if it was happening all around us. Since the subwoofers are built inside the mattress, we felt the pulse of the special effects vibrate underneath us.
Playing video games gave a similar immersive experience and the gamers we asked to try it out were impressed at how much it made them feel like they were part of the game.
Satellite speakers add sound when you place them on nightstands or on the floor beside the bed.
The Perfectly Snug Topper is good for having the right temperature when you are sleeping.
Sleeping next to someone with a different temperature preference can disrupt even the deepest sleep. The Perfectly Snug mattress topper solves this age-old struggle with built-in heating and cooling technology.
Let’s say you sleep hot and often wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat. But your partner is always cold and is most comfortable sleeping under multiple blankets.
The innovative topper uses breathable mesh to deliver personalized comfort on each side of the bed. Control the temperature with a -friendly app – set one side warm while the other chills. Schedule automatic adjustments for a warm welcome when you first slip in, a cool down as you drift off, and a gentle pre-dawn warm-up.
These high-tech sleep solutions go beyond simple comfort. Imagine falling asleep to soothing sounds that vibrate through your mattress or waking up to a perfectly customized temperature.
