That may not sound like much, but it can make a difference. The Nokia Sleep will work with the Health Mate app and include a Sleep Smarter program that claims to help you achieve 12 minutes of extra sleep a night. It’s about the quality of sleep, not just the quantity after all. It will deliver the usual sleep cycle breakdown of your sleep, as well as assigning your night a ‘sleep score’, so you can look at ways to improve your overall sleep health. Its design might be preferable for anyone who doesn’t like wearing a device to bed, as you won’t notice it’s there. The sensor slips underneath your mattress and detects your movement, while also monitoring for snoring.
Nokia, formerly Withings, has released a new dedicated sleep-tracking sensor, which is a sort of successor to the Withings Aura. Here are some of the more interesting products I’ve seen, from the big players to the plucky upstarts to the plain weird. Traipsing the floors of CES, it’s clear that sleep is one of the big focuses of fitness tech in the coming year. Those who sleep well also tend to find it easier to lose body fat. A solid night of sleep has also been linked with a range of health benefits, from lower stress levels and improved mental and athletic performance. But it’s overnight when your body does its physical and mental recovery, so it’s just as important to get a good night’s kip, which should start with one of our best mattresses. When it comes to health and well-being, activity during the day is an important component of leading a healthier lifestyle. But CES 2018 has shown an increased focus on not only tracking your ZZZs, but also helping to improve your sleep. The SmartSleep will be available to pick up for $399.99, and we'll be looking to test out the contraption when it launches later this spring.Sleep tracking is included in even your most basic of fitness trackers nowadays. Startup Rythm released its Dreem headset last summer, which, like Philips, aims to stimulate your brain and lengthen your deep sleep cycles with sounds. Even the guy modelling the SmartSleep above has questions, you can sense it in his uneasy smile.Īnyway, as we know, this also isn't the first sleep aid that has opted for the whole intricate headband design. I mean, look at this thing - it's like someone has turned a baseball cap backwards and cut off the top. If you are, the headband's speakers begin filtering in soft tones in a repeating pattern, something Philips indicates will help bring you a solid night of sleep.Īccording to the company, 70% of people who had sleep problems and tried the SmartSleep for two weeks noted feeling less tired.Īnd while Philips itself seems confident in its ability to improve the z's of those donning the device, we do have some reservations about the design. The Philips SmartSleep, unveiled at CES 2018 this week, uses built-in sensors attached to the forehead in order to detect brain activity, which then shares data with the connected mobile app to determine whether you're in deep sleep. Most s leep trackers simply monitor your night and give you a breakdown of your activity, but a new headband from Philips will use sound to alter your sleep for the better.
