[00:02] claim to track your sleep but do nothing. Others that claim to help you fall asleep and again do nothing. But there are actually some really great products. And in this video I want to share with you 12 of them. Like could
[00:14] you get the best sleep ever if you just lived in a cabin offrid with no power? an option for most of us. [music] Fortunately, there's a lot of tech that can help us combat the modern stresses that make sleep hard with the bright
[00:27] [music] lights, notifications, emails, a lot of noise. In this video, I have 12 these things on this list are cheap [music] and simple fixes to your sleep, and others are really high-tech devices that put you to sleep instantly. Like,
[00:40] this is number seven. When we get to this, this is the honestly the craziest sleep device I've ever seen and tried. So, in no particular order, let's jump right into it with the first one. This looks like a Mac Mini. It's called the
[00:53] Ultra Human Air and it is an environment monitor. So, it tracks the obvious stuff like temperature and humidity and there's an app and you can see all right went to bed, it cooled down and maybe you know that you can adjust your
[01:06] tracks a lot more than that as well. It'll track allergens, PM2.5, air pollution. All of that could have an impact. But the one that I think has the most impact when you're sleeping is actually CO2. And this is something that
[01:20] most people don't think about. If you have a gas stove, that could drastically smaller room and you don't have enough sleeping in that room, that could also really drastically increase your CO2
[01:33] levels and have you waking up feeling groggy, even if you do everything else right. It's something that without a monitor, you'd really have no way of knowing. And I love the way the Ultra tracks that throughout the night. It's
[01:45] to see everything. And the app does some other great things as well. Of course, it'll tell you like there's too much blue light late in the day. But the app tell you when you should drink caffeine, and maybe it'll give you a reminder of
[02:00] now is the time to get your last coffee avoid blue light. And is overall just a great circadian rhythm app. So, that is the Ultra Human Home. I really like it. If you want to save some money and get
[02:13] something cheaper though, there is also just a basic you can go on Amazon and find a CO2 monitor and that'll tell you the general levels. A lot of times they just show you the instantaneous level. But if you wake up and you see like
[02:25] 1,400, you know it's too high and you should either open a window overnight or turn up your HVAC fan. And that's great, but that only tracks your environment. That doesn't track anything about you and how you sleep. So number two on this
[02:38] list is a sleep tracker. If you already have an Apple Watch or a Galaxy Watch or even a Garmin watch, that's great. But if you don't already have one and you're tracking sleep, like that's your main
[02:50] goal, then my recommendation here is the Whoop Strap. This thing is incredibly lightweight and comfortable. I can sleep with it. It doesn't like choke off your wrist really hard and have bright lights that shine in your eyes. The Whoop Strap
[03:02] as well. not only tracking you very accurately, but giving you very digestible insights in the app that tell you, all right, you slept well, you need get a lot of deep sleep, and it can recommend different things while also
[03:16] encouraging workouts. It's a great workout tracker as well and just overall health tracker that I highly recommend. Number three then goes back to your environment. And this is a really big upgrade for any bedroom that I
[03:29] highly recommend. It's a two-prong approach here. One is the lighting. So, I have a Lutron Cassada outlet. So, you can just plug it in and you plug your lamps into that. And then on the app, you can control a timer. So, you can
[03:41] have it I have it turned on before I go to bed, uh, like right around sunset and actually go to bed. So, when you walk into your bedroom, it's kind of just nice, warm, inviting bedroom. And then in the morning, you can have it turn on
[03:53] the lights right around sunrise or whenever you want to wake up. But tying in with that, if you have windows, you could either have your windows closed sleep well, but then it's hard to wake up or you don't close your curtains and
[04:07] of light early in the morning. So, I highly recommend getting smart shades. The Lutron ones are very expensive, but in my opinion, if you don't have too many windows in your room, they're very, very worth it. They are the quietest
[04:20] that I've ever used. They block light really well. They look really good, and the batteries basically never need to be replaced. I've had these for I think four or five years now and have never once replaced the del batteries in them.
[04:32] automatically open in the morning. So, I don't even have an alarm clock. I use that as my alarm. So, the natural light just wakes me up in a very pleasant way. Getting back to something way, way cheaper, though. One easy fix for a lot
[04:46] light glasses. It's not always easy to avoid blue light in the day from your phone, your laptop, or just wherever you just wearing them for a couple hours before bed could really make a pretty
[04:59] They're pretty subtle. Uh you definitely look kind of weird, but if you're in your home, who cares, and it could help your sleep pretty substantially. Now, by Somnipods. You can't get good sleep if loud noises are interrupting you. And
[05:12] these are compact earbuds designed for sleep. They offer triple noise cancellation thanks to active noise cancellation on board, passive noise blocking from the soft silicone tips, and adaptive leak compensation. Plus,
[05:24] they can play white noise, rain sounds, or other peaceful sounds to make sleep possible even in really loud environments. The soft silicone tips are medical grade. And the ultras slim profile of these make them great for
[05:36] side sleepers, which is pretty rare, as well as back or even stomach sleepers. But the hardware is only half of it. They pair with the Fit Nexa app where you can customize the ANC or sound tracks. You can track your sleep in
[05:48] there. And the earbuds have sensors to record and analyze how well you sleep. And an AI wellness coach can provide useful insights. So when I wake up, the personal AI coach actually tells me, "Hey Mike, you slept great. Go harder in
[06:00] turned a lot last night. Maybe you should stick to yoga." The earbuds recharge in a case like this, and the battery lasts multiple nights on a with a cable every morning. So if you want to learn more about these, check
[06:12] below and grab a pair of Somnipods 3. Huge thanks to them for supporting the channel. Now, number six on this list, this kind of ties in with the Lutron already have Philips Hue bulbs, but what these are able to do differently from
[06:26] what Lutron's able to do is that these can actually change the color of your already know that, but it's really beneficial if you have warmer lights in cooler lights in the morning. So, I mean, more of like a blue light to kind
[06:39] before you go to bed, you want it to almost be much further on the orange relaxing and easier for you to fall asleep. All right. And then finally, number seven. This thing is absolutely crazy. This is the Somni 2.0. Now, Somni
[06:53] is completely unrelated to the Somni Pods, the sponsor of today's video. Somni 2.0, completely different company, completely different product. This is I with this. This is a headband that delivers personalized neuro stimulation
[07:08] while playing some kind of meditative soundsscapes to help you fall asleep. So, it also tracks your sleep, by the way, using clinical grade EEG plus sensors. And if you don't know, EEG is like far better than the optical sensors
[07:22] of other devices. And this should be really accurate with tracking your sleep. They claim based on their testing that users fall asleep 50% faster on average and they improve deep sleep by 33%. They tested this allegedly for
[07:37] eight years in a sleep lab and they highlight that it's actually proven to be four times more effective than taking melatonin. So the way it works is you put this on your head. It's actually really lightweight and comfortable. I
[07:50] know I was skeptical at first of this. Um, but you could sleep on your side, no like on your forehead. I don't think anyone's sleeping on their forehead. But way, uh, it's pretty comfortable to wear. It turns on like a, you don't even
[08:05] phone if you wanted to, but it does like a little 15minute thing to help you fall tracks your sleep throughout the night. If you don't want that, you could wear it for 15 minutes, get ready to fall asleep, and then take it off. And like
[08:20] benefits of using this. But if you're someone that like often takes a pill to anxiety, maybe you just have a stressful job, this could be a good thing to try to ideally like not take pills before going to sleep, whether it's melatonin
[08:35] do. This could be a cool thing to try. You can adjust the headband. It's just this little pad right here. And they actually have a really big following on Reddit and other platforms. Like people
[08:48] absolutely love this. Fortunately, I don't really require it every night. I don't have severe insomnia, but this is just such a cool and interesting sleep. I think that's really really interesting. On here, I didn't even show
[09:01] got these little like bumps all the way around that are really soft. And then on right there. Uh there's like a little EEG pad. You can replace this with new little sticky pads on there. On the outside, like the middle of your
[09:14] forehead is where you have this bump. And when you put it on and you start it, it like maps your brain kind of is what it says it does for the first like session of using it. And it actually feels like it's kind of an interesting
[09:28] doing something. It almost feels similar to like if you've ever used stim like uh like a 10's unit on your muscles and it does like a little little vibration like little massage kind of. It feels like that but kind of in your brain. It's
[09:41] hard to explain. If anyone else uses this regularly, definitely leave you would describe it. It's just so hard to describe this, but it is a really cool device that if anyone has a lot of insomnia, definitely worth checking out.
[09:55] Number eight, then this ties in with the very first item I mentioned on this list, which is if you have an air monitor, you might as well have an air you have a lot of dust or a lot of
[10:08] smoke, maybe wildfire regions or if you have a lot of pollen, this could be a reduce allergies and help you sleep a little bit better. Number nine is a smart thermostat. Uh I have had several.
[10:21] Google Nest Learning Thermostat. It's just a great way to set up timers on your phone. So rather than like setting the temperature before you go to bed, you can have it every night cool down before you go to bed so that it's nice
[10:34] when you fall asleep and then also warm up whenever you plan on waking up in the alert in the morning and you don't stay Number 10, nightlight transitions on
[10:46] your phone, laptop, and TV. This is not a product. This is something that you sleep on your phone. Doesn't matter. iPhone, Android, laptops have this as well. Many TVs have this. You can go into your settings and make sure that at
[10:59] screen a little bit more yellow, reducing the blue light, and helping you to get ready for bed. Number 11, I know stepping away for tech for one second here. This is just a general evening
[11:15] routine can help a lot. Whether that is reading a book or a simple handcraft like crocheting, just not watching TikTok before bed is a much better practice for falling asleep. And number 12, I don't know, this is not really
[11:29] anyway cuz this is like me personally, a sleep tech item, if you want to call it that, that I use a lot. So, I tend to work really late and then like you work then you're like, "All right, now I'm going to make dinner now." And you don't
[11:42] you're going to bed at like 10:00 or 11. That's so close to when you actually fall asleep. And what I have been using a lot is a crock pot. It's a good way to like make your meal earlier in the day before you go to work, have it cook all
[11:55] eat as early as possible. You kind of have to eat as early as possible because the crockpot's done. So, you eat your food. It ends up being healthier food, ideally without a ton of sugar and fats. And it's just kind of nice that you can
[12:08] eat earlier, then you can work out, then you can go to bed. Eating a while before going to sleep makes a huge difference for me personally. and I can see it with But leave a comment down below and let me know which of these devices you like
[12:21] or already have or maybe any other devices that you like that help you sleep. Thanks for watching. I'm Michael Bryan and I'll see you in the next
