Smart Bedroom Gadgets
  • Which bedside products are a must? We spend a lot of time in our beds. Heck, you might even be reading this from bed (no shame!). For that reason, you owe it to yourself to make your bedroom as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
  • Should I buy a sleep training headset? When you struggle to sleep at night and someone promises a cure, it’s only natural to jump at the offer. But should you spend money on a sleep training headset? We decided to take a closer look at the evidence.
  • Where can I find more bedtime gadgets? Relax after a tiring day with these stylish bedtime products curated by the Gadget Flow team.

Sleep is very precious to us. Without it, we’re left performing well below 100%; just ask any new parent or someone fighting jet lag. As such, it’s literally vital that we not only get sleep, but we get good sleep and plenty of it.

If you’re having a hard time nodding off come bedtime, there are a few quick and easy ways to change that. Make sure you cut back on your blue light usage as you near bedtime. This means you’ve got to turn off the TV, put down your phone or tablet, and truly go analog at least an hour before you want to fall asleep.

There’s also so much more that goes into a good night’s sleep. Did you know the recommended room temperature for sleeping is between 60°F and 67°F? Or that taking a hot shower before bed can help induce melatonin? Or that consuming alcohol before you go to bed can disrupt your deep sleep?

There are countless factors that go into a great night’s rest. In fact, many of the comforts you need can be solved with smart technology. Here are 14 ways to make your bedroom smarter, all designed to help you sleep easier so you can wake up feeling your best.

RESPIO Accurate Biometric Sleep Coach

Wondering why you can’t seem to get proper sleep at night? RESPIO can help you investigate. This sleep coach uses biometric data. Collecting data as you sleep (or try to sleep), it offers highly accurate results which appear in the app. Using this information, you can identify possible triggers and reasons for poor sleep. It detects and records your snoring while recording any disturbances. It can even detect sleep apnea. Impressively, even with all this technology, RESPIO is surprisingly compact and thin. The fabric device slides under you as you sleep and will never be in your way.

Casper Glow Smart Sleeping Light

Your body relies heavily on environment clues when it’s time to go to sleep. Things like a setting sun provide the signal every night. Casper Glow is a smart sleeping light that mimics this method. It emits a soft and warm glow when you climb into bed. Then, it slowly and gradually dims, helping your circadian rhythm so you can naturally drift off to sleep. When it’s time to wake up, Casper Glow does the opposite. It delivers a soft light to help you wake up. In addition, the light is perfect for late-night trips to the bathroom (or kitchen). It has a built-in ambient that detects movement and lights up when you move it. Thanks to a built-in gyroscope, you can also manually adjust the brightness by spinning the light.

soundsleep Bluetooth Speaker Pillow

If you’re looking for a truly comfortable way to track your sleep, the soundsleep Pillow is for you. Although this pillow is rife with technology, it also offers a supportive yet comfy spot to rest your head. Built into the soundsleep Pillow is a Bluetooth speaker. You can easily connect it to your smartphone or other device and play anything from white noise to a playlist to a podcast to help you drift off. In addition to this, the smart pillow can also track your snoring habits. If you’re a loud snorer, the pillow uses its built-in alarm to wake you up so you can improve your breathing.


Dozzi Natural White Noise Machine

For many of us, a simple white noise machine is all it takes to help us get better sleep. Dozzi is well-known in this niche, providing premium white noise. This is all thanks to the built-in fan inside. Rather than a digitized noise, you’re hearing an actual fan with its natural faint hum. Likewise, you can twist Dozzi to adjust the intensity of the sound, helping you drown out environmental noise with ease. It’s also super compact so you can take it with you when you travel. At the top is a built-in night light so you can also adjust the amount of light in your room.

Is your kid the reason you get up too early? It’s time they learned to stay in bed until it’s a proper time to get up and Vobot Bunny is here to help.

REM-Fit ZEEQ Smart Pillow

Another incredible pillow on the list, the REM-Fit ZEEQ has plenty of sleep-inducing features. Most notable is the vibration function. The pillow delivers gentle vibrations which encourage you to shift your position in the night. This helps to keep your airways open, reducing your snoring. Unlike other solutions, the vibrations are only strong enough to make you move rather than wake you up entirely. Plus, this smart pillow uses built-in sensors to also track your sleep including restfulness, duration, and even your snoring. Compatible with Alexa and IFTTT devices, you can sync your smart home devices with this pillow for better bedtime automation.

2breathe Plus Sleep Inducer

Offering an in-depth take on the quality of your sleep, 2breathe Plus works over the course of 60 days.

Ruggie Effective Alarm Clock

Some of you might have a bigger struggle than falling asleep and it’s waking up each morning. Ruggie is a superbly effective alarm clock that is sure to get even the biggest snoozer out of bed. Unlike any other alarm clock you’ve owned, Ruggie is actually a floor mat. Concealed inside is a loud alarm. When it goes off, Ruggie requires your full weight on top. This means you have to physically get out of bed and stand on top for a full three seconds. Only then will Ruggie be silenced. And, once you’re out of bed, you’ve already handled the biggest hurdle of your morning. You just need to make sure you can resist the comfort of your bed and carry on with your morning routine.

Ruggie Effective Alarm Clock

This alarm will continue to sound until you place both feet on top

Nora Smart Snoring Solution

Did you know there is a solution to snoring? It involves making sure your airways are clear so air can properly pass through. Nora is a smart snoring solution that uses technology to adjust your head and ensure your airways remain open. The system includes a nightstand sensor that detects your snoring as well as a moving mat for under your pillow. As soon as Nora determines you’re snoring, it signals the mat to move. Then, the mat will move under your pillow, prompting your head to change positions. As a result, you stop snoring and everyone in the house will be thankful.
