Analyzing and keeping a track record of a person’s sleep patterns would normally mean having to use various accessories to properly monitor one’s sleeping patterns. However, technological breakthroughs has made it possible to offer solutions without having to deal with such inconveniences.

That is where the SleepBot Android app comes in. The app comes free and intends to help in tracking a person’s sleep patterns. It tracks, logs and analyzes sleep patterns and credit goes to two college sophomores who had sleep issues themselves back in 2010.

“To be honest, it didn’t start off as a business,” she says. “We have a goal to actually help people. But, we know that it’s possible now because of the demand of people who want to do this for sleep.”

And with that, the said app is now manned by a three-man team based in New York where the app offers users a way to track sleep, set alarms, get sleep tips and view stats online.

You just never know when you would end up sleeping in a chair for one reason or another. And while you may not be able to lie down in the way that you should, the least you can look up to is to have certain perks such as perhaps a blanket in tow.

Apparently this chair seems to be ideal during sleepy afternoons or when your house becomes overcrowded during sleepovers. But with the Collerette, you can be assured of a comfy sleeping ordeal thanks mainly to its built-in rolled up blanket forming its arms and backrest.

Whatever works, this is one chair that should come in handy in instances you cannot find a bed to lie on.

For people who are on the go, you don’t have to limit yourself to what you can carry or request when you are travel-bound. Pillows would be easy to carry or maybe you can even request for them along with some blankets on flights or maybe train rides.

But if you have the Burton Sleeper Travel Hoodie, why bother? The whole thing looks like a standard hooded sweatshirt that people may have these days but this one comes with an integrated pillow. With it, you can sleep in any which way you wish wherever you may go and enjoy all the stuff that you would look for when it comes to some quality Zzzs.

The integrated pillow is found at the hood area. All you have to do is blow it up and you get an instant pillow that will provide the necessary neck support for better naps. Aside from the pillow, the Burton Sleeper Travel Hoodie comes with other features like a passport pocket and an integrated toothbrush.

Overall the Sleeper Hoodie seems to have all the bases covered, its body of course serving as the blanket in case it gets a bit chilly. It retails for about $99.00 in case you want to get one.

When it comes to getting the right sleeping bags when you plan to go camping and rough it a little, you are bound to expect the necessary discomforts that one would usually enjoy in their homes. In fact, among them include the proper ventilation to ensure you properly get the right temperature when you try and sleep your darnest best in the outdoors.

Sleeping bags are normally as simple as you can get but this customizable sleeping bag comes with a lot of zippers that should offer you the ventilation you would need. There are about 4 to 5 zippers that this sleeping bag has, apparently positioned in various parts targeting your body to make sure that you get the proper temperature for that body part when needed.

It may not be all that surprising should a person decide to unzip them all, depending on the climate where you may be using it of course. But then again, another problem arises in the form of those pesky mosquitoes which may carry diseases.

Regardless though, give this sleeping bag some credit for being so flexible. In case you want to get a hold of it, it costs around $120 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

Having a nightlight by your nursery should be a good idea so that parents can easily check on their babies in the wee hours and when all the lights are turned off.

Here is an interesting clock that should wake you up on the right side of bed. Apparently the clock features the chirping sound of a Cicada, and comes with extra features that allow you to hook it up with other popular devices in the home.

The clock carries a modern to futuristic design, making it perfect for any type of home setting. The Cicadidae Clock was designed by Ryan Jongwoo Choi who included a Bluetooth dongle with the alarm clock which will allow owners to connect it to mobile phones, computers or even modern smart TVs.

There are a lot of cases where people may have to be apart due to one reason or another. Most of the time it is because of work-related assignments, limiting the time that couples can be together. And once that happens, you can bet that a lot of people would be encountering sleepless nights in the process.

But Osaka University professor Ishiguro has come up with an interesting cushion, something that looks like the massage pillows many of you may have come across. The Hugvie Cushion is based on a Telenoid robot and actually contains a microcontroller and vibrators that will match the characteristics of a long-distance located loved one.

The Hugvie cushion also contains two vibrators, which produce a throbbing sound like a heartbeat, and the pulse gets faster or stronger, depending on the volume and tone of the caller’s voice. If you want one, be ready to shell out $60 for it. The Hugvie Cushion is available from Vstone.

For people who love sleeping outdoors, whittling down the tent or things your bring along will certainly be a great idea. Bringing along multiple stuff will surely be a bane for most but thanks to new multi-functional items like the Exped Ergo Combi Hammock should make it lighter and enjoyable to rough it when you need want.

The Hammock can be also a tent when you want. But the bottom line of it all is that you are protected and given a reliable medium when you need to rest and get some sleep.

The Ergo Combi offers a horizontal sleeping system. The ropes are found on the sides and are used as a diagonal suspension system to support its body.

The hammock with suspension kit weighs 34 oz (963 g) and the tarp adds another 23 oz (652 g). Depending upon your usage, 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg) may be a little heavy (you could get a number of two-person tents under that weight).

Check out the video below to have a better idea on the wonders that the Exped Ergo Combi all-in-one hammock brings.

Although it seems that the Myndplay technology was made to aid the hot-headed athletes in sports like football, the technology could be a great aid as well for people who think too much and thus loose sleep.

This could of course vary. It could range from personal problems, office issues or for some people who have a lot of hang-ups to which they have reached their boiling point.

Apparently, the Myndplay Technology can read a person’s state of mind whereby their temperament can be analyzed and put into check.

Once worn, users will have to play computer games that require you to make a character walk across a narrow beam. The whole process would require a person to be really calm and failure to do achieve the goal would mean repeating the whole process until they succeed.

Of course, there is an issue on whether it could really help a person with the said activity. But for people who would keep on trying and fail, at least it keeps them busy and may eventually make them sleepy from trying with the notion that perhaps a good night’s sleep can refresh them and provide new tactics the next time they awaken.

Ideally, blanket designs would not matter but just in case you are looking for something different, here is a blanket you may want to check out. This is a blanket design that comes in a familiar design of wooden parquet flooring, offering you a different twist when it comes to keeping yourself warm at night.

The blanket was designed by Elisa Strozyk of Germany, a magnificent finish that should really make you think that they are actual curved flooring that homes normally make use of. The blanket is made of about a hundred wooden triangles and polygons where each fabric holds the whole thing together.

Either that or it looks like some crumpled paper at first. Regardless though, the important thing is that this blanket was made to offer you some warmth when needed once bedtime comes.

Pillows would sometime require the proper temperature to make them suitable for sleeping and while air conditioning or electric fans would somehow try to do that, the Polar Pillow may be something soothing to render proper shuteye.

The pillow is filled with cooling gel, perhaps the same ones used when you need some cold or warm compress on some parts of your body. The pillow was made for people who sweat a lot when they sleep, all in a familiar form that should really be something helpful for people wanting to lay their heads on pillows carrying the right temperature.

Here is another sleeping bag for you to check out. While it may seem like a standard one, the Chrysalis Sleeping Bag from Snugpak comes with a handy feature in the form of built-in LED lights which should be neat for people who are afraid of the dark or maybe those who want to read a little before they sleep.

The LED light should be a great way as well to guide you in the dark, especially when you think about the outdoors which do not normally give you the benefit of lighting. And since it is LED, you can bet it will last longer than most bulbs. The light fits into a small pouch over your head, where it’s readily available when you need it.

If you want one on hand, you can get one for about $81. Definitely a must-have for kids who plan to sleep in the outdoors or when camping plans draw near.

Sheets Brand has released a new alternative sleep aid for people suffering from sleep problems, something perhaps better than the usual sleeping pills or other forms of sleep aids with issues.

They are called the Sleep Sheets, paper-thin and individually wrapped, dissolvable strips that promise to improve a person’s natural sleep cycle. Each sheet is composed of 3mg of Melatonin, 3mg of L-Theanine, 1mg of Goji Berry Extract and 1mg of Chamomile Extract, all blended properly to help a person get quality sleep.

Using proprietary technology initially developed for Sheets Brand Energy Strips, Sleep Sheets help consumers get the rest they need whether at home or traveling.

Sleep masks are a great sleep aid to turn to but if you want some extra features, check out the Remee Lucid Dreaming Sleep Mask. We are not referring of course to the design alone as you can see above. Rather, the sleep mask has an added feature which should bring more dreams lucidly.

All this is made possible with the mask’s embedded red LED lights when worn. There are six LED lights on the inside which blink periodically when a person is asleep. This stimulates a person’s visual field which reportedly increases the occurrence of lucid dreams.

For now the Remee Lucid Dreaming Sleep Mask remains a project since the people behind it are looking for ways to fund it all. But if you really want to try it out, you can pledge a minimum of $80 and get one for yourself.

The HMDX Quad Alarm Clock offers a unique time-telling make but other than that advanced feature, this alarm clock also comes with a hidden camera. The added feature should be something that most parents would welcome, particularly for safekeeping and safety of their valuables and maybe even their kids.

For the common features, the HMDX Quad Alarm Clock comes with the usual AM/FM radio, an AUX in port which allows you to plug in your media player/s and of course the usual alarms that get you out of bed.

The HMDX Alarm Clock is available over at Amazon.com for about $449.95.

Women have their certain rituals before they sleep and among them of course includes staying in their best appearance and shape. This includes their bossoms which for many may need the necessary support in the form of brasseries to ensure that they stay true to form.

But at times, wearing a bra may not necessarily be the most comfortable position when you sleep. That is unless of course it is one of these specially made ones like the Oyasumi Goodnight Keep Bra. The Bra helps maintain firm busts even while sleeping so that women will wake up feeling and looking good.

The Bra should be a perfect alternative to women who are conscious about their breasts and for $15, this is a good investment for the women who want to maintain their form all the time.

We have heard of inconveniences when you have a snoring partner by your side. Chances are you would sleep in separate rooms or aid them with a device that will help them breathe better. However if you want to try out something cheaper and portable, you may want to consider the Snorepin.

The little slits on the surface let your nosehair catch airborne particles and prevent them from reaching your lungs. You will sleep much better and healthier. They are made of antiallergic polyurethane and are highly recommended by ENT doctors.

Podtime will be offering the on-site sleep pods to the engineers to provide occasional naps and relaxation and of course the necessary sleep to make sure that they are on their feet as far as monitoring the servers which will be nearby.

The pods are stackable and will come with standard mattresses, a shelf, mirror, LED lights and a lockable door for individual privacy. It is practically a small room that they can retreat to. They are priced starting at £1,375.

With the age of cellular phones upon us, a simple interface may yet prove to be a crucial way to get you out of bed. Although the look of this alarm clock is far from advanced if you think about the latest devices available in the market today, the manner on how to shut off the alarm seems oddly advanced for it.

This is with reference for the need to input the pin code for this alarm clock. It cannot be unplugged and to get some more snooze, you have to key in the right pin code to shut it up. The effort alone of keying in the PIN code seems to be enough to spur up some juices to get you out of bed, by any means a brutal way to get you out of bed.

The clock runs for about $350, a bit steep considering this clock doesn’t necessarily look modern or advanced compared to what people may crave for.

At times, slouching will often lead in tempting you to take a quick doze or maybe a short nap. Everything is perfectly fine except of course if you are in the office and you have tons of paperwork to do. So rather than wait for your boss to take notice and most likely get you into trouble, here is an advanced way to save your neck.

The Philips Ergosensor Monitor will take heed of your “slouching” position and will eventually yell at you if you do. This was all made possible through the monitor’s ergosensor which seems to be more of a webcam that monitors your posture.

The device gives you corrective feedback as well. This comes in the forms of small icons that flash up at the bottom right of your screen.

The monitor should be perfect for ensuring that employees are not sleeping on the job, a good thing for office perhaps and to make sure that they are getting their money’s worth and productivity.

Traditionally, alarm clocks would be either the ones with the irritating alarms and ticking or the electronic ones that give out one loud buzz. But if you are looking for a more serene alarm clock in your pad, the Dreamtime Alarm Clock should be something worth checking.

However for a stiff price of $87, you have to wonder if these Polygonal Pillows are worth it. We all know how wise it is to invest and come up with useful relaxing and sleep aids in the form of pillows but for a price and queer design, some people may think otherwise.

One task tied up with parenting is on how to properly take care of babies, especially the ones that end up crying at night or in the wee hours due to one reason or another. And normally when you think about it, a child’s cry at night may somewhat serve as a measuring stick of sorts on how good a parent takes care of their child, regardless if it is funny or not.

Apparently the Why Cry Baby Analyzer is a colourful device which should somehow tell you how well you take care of your child and attend to their needs especially during the wee hours. The said device is clinically certified, and boasts a 90 percent accuracy rate and works using a microphone by comparing a baby’s crying power, frequency and crying intervals against an already established pattern and then provides you with the results in 20 seconds or less.

While babies are known to have inconsistent sleeping patterns, it all comes on how well you take care of them. While the device does seem a bit off, if you really want to figure out how good you are in parenting, this is one device that can somehow come close to helping you out.

It costs about $30 over at Amazon.com in case you are interested.

This is not the first time we will be seeing a specialized pillow made to help people sleep better. Aside from looking like a standard but overgrown teddy bear, this cuddly robot pillow from the Kabe Group looks to address the issue of sleep apnea as well.

The cuddly pillow comes with a movable robotic arm which gently nudges a person to his side when his breathing is interrupted and snoring starts to occur. To monitor a person’s breathing abnormalities, there is a pulse oxymeter worn on a person’s finger which determines when the blood oxygen dips or when breathing has stopped.

Design-wise, the pillow does leave a lot to be desired but considering that the cuddle robot pillow remains a concept, you can imagine further enhancements that are bound to be applied to it along the way.

Although the Sanyo Eneloop Neck Warmer was designed to be an added accessory for anyone when they go out towards the cold days, the thing can also be a good ally for people who want to avoid the unwanted chills at night.

It was really meant to be worn casually although basing on its looks, the zipper can be loosened a bit to avoid choking for some.

Owls would normally flash those round eyes at night, making the Owl Eye Sleep Mask pretty much logical when night time comes. Of course, being a sleep mask, the Own Eyes Sleep Mask was really intended to help people sleep better, adding a bit of a twist when it comes to showcasing how one would throw off their mate in a funny kind of way.

They eyes are made of 2 layers of polar fleece which should offer the necessary comfort needed by people when they want to get some shuteye. The mask blocks out almost all of the light, a smidgen of light might creep in around the nose area, but not enough to be bothersome; as again that would apply too much pressure to get it that tight.

Back in the good old days, people didn’t have the luxury of easily buying a radio due to cost. Also unlike today, the manufacturers were not as rampant. But thanks to some courses, people were able to come up with radios on their own, assembling them using discarded wood and putting their electronic engineering to good use just to be able to listen to news and/or music.

Today this may be a rarity but for some people, the practice lives on.

While the massager was really meant to cater more towards the stylish and beauty side of a person, this compact massager can be useful as well for people who wake up to sore necks or stiff muscles.

Just slip it on and let it work its magic. The low-frequency wave treatment is so good that it has even been officially registered as a medical device by Panasonic. They come in three colors and have three 15 minute courses to choose from. They are available from the Japan Trend Shop for about $19.

Indeed time does fly and if you have a hard time believing that, maybe the Time Flies Flying Novelty Clock can convince you. Apparently this antique-looking alarm clock is hung from the ceiling which when turned on, elongates some wings and then starts flapping to somehow give you an idea of how to illustrate the familiar acronym.

Although it looks more like a toy if you think about it, the Time Flies Flying Novelty Clock runs on 2 AA batteries and should be another humorous way of telling the time and of course waking you. At least with this clock, you may have a hard time hitting the snooze button and, for extreme cases, find it hard to smash it when you are woken up on the wrong side of bed.

Having a handy and reliable alarm clock may come in various forms and shapes but for kids who may want to spice up the clocks that wake them up when needed from deep slumber, the Ok to Wake! Children’s Alarm Clock should be a lush way to get out of bed.

Looking more like a toy, kids may hardly notice the difference of this alarm clock until of course they set the time and alarm. The clock comes in a cute mold, looking like a green bug or a pink flower with its playful design.

Some of its other features include a color-changing nightlight customizable nap timer and brightness and of course a snooze option like most alarm clocks.

The Ok to Wake! Alarm clock is available from Amazon.com for about $29.95.

There will always be a number of things a person would need to get the proper amount of rest and sleep. Among them include the proper relaxation and climate which would normally require a special kind of pillow, massager or heater. But with the Microwavable Yutapon Heater you get a portable device that requires no batteries to run and portable to bring anywhere.

Named after the Japanese word for hot water bottle (yutanpo), the Microwavable Yutapon Heater seems like a familiar gel pack that many have used at one time or another for cold or warm compress needs. The covers are easily washable while the inside of each Yutapon comes with a special gel pack that retains and releases heat slowly.

They are available for about $30 over at the Japan Trend Shop just in case you want something nifty to have, especially if you live in cold climate places.
