As the days roll on the technology grows and new products which we never imagined in near past seems to be coming into reality because of technology growth life gets a betterment.
Recent days have seen such a technology growth in assuring you a good night’s sleep. Organic tea, eye masks, musical pillows and light projectors are few to name which help in providing you with a sound night sleep.
Prof Jim Horne, of the sleep research center Lough borough University, has done a review on all the high end sleep betterment products available in the market.
Organic Tea :
This tea contains lavender flower and liquorice root, which are said to calm the mind and reduce the tension.The limeflower in it also calms the nervous system.
It costs around $5 – 6 per box depending on the flavors and the region they are grown in.
Horne Said that, “I am not sure that there can be a large quantities present in this that really can make you sleepy. But Still there can be a strong physiological effect with something like this.”
Sweet dreams sleep mask:
These come with the ear plugs and are said to block every light entering into it and are pressure less on eyes.
These are only helpful only when there is light coming into your bedroom else there will be no light by the time you sleep. These may come handy when you are trying to sleep during day time. This will be helpful for the people working in shift as they will be sleeping during day time and working during night.
The sound asleep pillow:
These come with the hidden ear plugs which can be plugged into iPods, MP3 Players and radios. These weigh about 15pounds. Since there is no timer you should set a calculated play list or you need to switch it off manually by yourself.
If stress and pressure is preventing you from falling asleep then listening to calm and soft music may help you to get sleep. If you don’t like the music then these wont be useful and you will be only left with soft pillow.
