Approximately two thirds(2/3) of people in the world don’t get enough sleep at night. That’s primarily because of gadgets that keep us connected at all times and make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Well, of course not all gadgets are created equal. Here are Top 5 gadgets that will give you a better night’s sleep.
5. Wakemate
Wakemate is a wristband that monitors your wrist motion during sleep using Actigraphy — a field of science used to study sleep/wake patterns. These motion patterns are then translated into sleep patterns which are then used by the application to wake you up at the optimal time. Wakemate allows you to check complete sleep analysis on a web interface that is uploaded automatically by the application.
