3 Gadgets To Help You Enough Sleep

One of the most important components of having a productive day is making sure you get a proper amount of quality sleep every night. Being properly rested allows you to better focus on the task at hand and can greatly improve not just the quantity of your work but also the quality. 

This is why ensuring you get quality sleep should be a priority for everyone. In this article we are going to take a look at a few gadgets and apps that can help improve your overall sleep. 

White Noise Machine

Many of us spend a significant amount of time trying to fall asleep. Reading multiple articles on different techniques and tips to falling asleep, but often very little helps. However, many people swear by a white noise machine and its power to help you drift off to sleep. 

A white noise machine creates specific sounds that are meant to drown out other annoying sounds and focus on sleeping. This can be extremely important if you are constantly dealing with noises such as traffic, noisy neighbors, or anything else that may be keeping you from falling asleep. 

There are many different white noise machines or apps that are available on the market.

Sleep Tracker

One of the most important parts in knowing if you are getting a proper amount of sleep is by using some sort of sleep tracker. There are many different types of sleep tracking devices so you can find one that best fits your budget and needs. 

One that I have used in the past is an app called Sleep Cycle. It is an app that tracks your sleep pattern through your phone’s microphone. As it is a free app this is a great way to get started with measuring your sleep quality. However, it is not a perfect system and the app may not always be perfectly accurate. 

Other options include fitness trackers such as “Fitbits” or smart watches. Many of these offer features that will track your sleep schedule and show you how well you slept. These may be more accurate than using a mobile app but can often show more accurate results. 

Light Alarm 

Nobody likes waking up. Especially after spending an extended period just trying to fall asleep. However, changing how you wake up may make it easier to wake up and stay awake. One popular method of avoiding the harsh beeping of a regular alarm clock is called a light alarm. 

A light alarm works by broadcasting a light at a set period of time before you are meant to wake up. This light will then get brighter and more intense until you wake up and turn it off. If the light doesn’t wake you then most light alarms will also offer a sound alarm to ensure you are awake. I haven’t actually tried this device yet but after researching it for this article I immediately purchased one for myself. I hope to update this part of the article after receiving my order and testing it out for a few days.

Many users who have tried these in the past report that they wake up easier and in a better mood. While it may not make waking up an “easy” task, it can at least make it easier. There are many different versions of light alarms out there, so we recommend spending time deciding which one is best for your needs.
