I know I need a good night’s sleep in order to really take on the day and function well. However, sometimes I find myself tossing and turning in the night trying to get myself to fall asleep, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. A recent sleep study conducted using Apple Watch at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital shows that just 31% of us are getting a good night’s sleep.
Fortunately, the very technology that may be keeping us up, can also help with putting together a sleep strategy. That’s why I’ve gathered some of the best sleeping solutions to help you get the rest you need.
How to transform your sleep experience with these sleep aids
BedJet 3 Dual Zone Climate Comfort Sleep System for Couples
Credit: BedJet
This air-based product was invented by a former NASA engineer who started the product in 2015 on Kickstarter. BedJet doesn’t require a new bed or mattress and allows you to completely control the temperature of your bed. Available for any size bed, installation is simple. You’ll attach the base to a mattress bracket, which holds the hose that blows either warm or cool air.
In their independent test, BedJet solves the issue that causes restless nights year-round – temperature. Not too hot, not too cool…just right. Within minutes of taking it out of the box, BedJet is forcing air under the covers on a hot restless night. On cold winter nights, instead of heating the entire house at night, BedJet provides gentle warming coziness under the covers.
Aside from better sleep, it helps with saving money on heating or cooling bills since you don’t need to heat or cool the whole house. From a safety perspective, there are no wires or electricity in the bed, and the entire casing of the product is flameproof. And you gotta love this. Sharing the other side of the bed with a partner who runs hotter or colder than you?
This is the solution for the couple who can’t agree on a temperature. If your partner needs 3 blankets while you’re kicking them off each night, you’ll want this dual-temperature King size version of the cooling and heating system.
The BedJet 3 Climate Control King Size comes with:
- 2 BedJet base units
- 2 wireless remotes
- 1 Cloud Sheet (not required, but helps with air distribution)
- Access to an app for both iPhone and Android to control the temperature from your smartphone
