A few weeks ago, I left the office to take a nap at a hotel – for journalism.
Starting Neurotech Elemind offered me the opportunity to try his high -tech bar, which promises to make you sleep faster by literally changing your brain waves.
I had to know – could it be so easy? Can this head strip, which sends sounds through your skull, really be the key to rest better without displaying medicines or supplements?
Spoiler Alert: I really didn’t want to get up when my sleep is over.
America is there is little sleep crisis. A Gallup survey last year revealed that 42% of adults do not get as much sleep as they need, with only 25% reporting that they on average eight hours a night. Experts recommend seven to nine.
Insufficient sleep has been associated with countless health issues, including brain aging, visceral fat, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart and kidney issues, depression and increased inflammation.
And of course, it makes you feel awesome.
“Sleep is really a superpower,” he told Posti Mredith Perry, co -founder and CEO of Element. “If you have a better sleep, it can be a multiplier of strength for everything else in your life, whether it’s your hormones or emotional adjustment or mental sharpness. If you have a good sleep, everything else in your life gets better. “
How does it work?
Elementary was launched last year by Perry – a former NASA employee – and other neuroscientists to help people find a way to sleep faster without pharmaceuticals.
Their light strip of $ 349 is like “the cancellation of noise, but for the brain,” she explained. It works using sensors to read your brain and “drive [it] From smart models to soothing models using simply sounds. “
“We read your brain waves and send a healthy pulse at a very specific moment in time compared to your unique brain waves to disrupt the brain waves associated with waking up, which helps to lead the brain to sleep.”
Sounds like something from “detachment”? Your “outie” may be sleepy, but there is nothing dangerous to happen to your brain.
“We just use the sound,” Perry said. “So in the same way music can rest you, we are playing music that is making your brain asleep.”
This sound comes as a kind of pink noise that you hear not through your ears, but through your skull through a metal bone conductor – again, completely on the outside of your head.
In clinical rehearsals, 76% of people using the head bar were able to fall asleep on average 48% faster. Some people were able to fall asleep 74% faster.
And while you can program your headline to turn off after you are asleep using the elementary app, it’s safe to leave all night – and if you do that
Tasting the head of the headlaw
To really prepare me for a good nap, the Elementary invited me to a rich hotel with a seriously soft bed and intermittent curtains. Perry placed me with my head strip, as I put me on my forehead, with sensors making contact with my skin.
She explained that your eyes had to be completely closed to work – could not be taken on brain waves when your eyes are open – and volume should be placed at the lowest level you are still able to hear it.
I love a little white noise to help me sleep, so the pink noise I could “hear” trembling through my skull felt quite natural, even if it were a kind of casual pulsating model.
But I did not really fall asleep. To be straight, I generally find it difficult to get down when I have to wake up within a short time. No matter how tired I am, if I know that an alarm will turn off in a window in a shock-20 minutes … 15… 10… 5… -It is very impossible to leave.
I also think that the special circumstances of this nap – which ended when my video came into the room, filming to catch my first reaction when wakeful – were no longer favorable to fall asleep.
That’s being told, I felt truly Comfortable in that bed, and I think it calmed me faster than if I were lying there myself.
And if I were to use the night – and I wouldn’t get Kim Kardashian’s treatment with my personal cameraman waiting for my Rem cycle confession – I’m very sure it would have worked.
Perry himself uses it every night and called it a “game change for my sleep”, but noted that many people take about a week to get used to.
If this means that I have to get a week worth of work day’s eyes I am inside.
