According to research, most people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep to function properly and stay healthy. However, it is rare to hear that someone falls asleep quickly or has no sleep problems. We can attribute all this to a fast lifestyle and exposure to blue light during the evening hours.
Poor sleep is linked to higher body weight, insomnia, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Sleep helps our brain to recharge so we stay full of energy, awake, and focused tomorrow. If you are a person who typically sleeps less than 7 hours, futuristic nighttime gadgets can improve your sleep quality, boost alertness, and reduce sleepiness throughout the day.
Whether you're looking for a new gadget for your collection or to improve your sleep quality, make sure to check out our list of futuristic nighttime gadgets for some more inspiration. Also, take a look at our latest subscription box and check out more cool gadgets.
1. Sleep Trackers
Probably the most commonly used sleeping gadget is a sleep tracker. This device is monitoring a person's sleep, usually through measuring inactivity and movement. If you think you haven’t been getting enough sleep lately, getting a sleep tracker may sound like a good idea.
These cool gadgets can monitor your sleep, but also your vital signs, heart rate, movement, respiration, and more. What is cool about these devices is that they are very affordable and easy to wear around the wrist. Fitbit is one of the most well-known fitness tracker companies on the market, but you can also use almost any fitness band to monitor your sleep. You will not regret using one as they are light, thin, and universal.
2. Apollo Neuro Wearable
Another futuristic gadget that can help you improve your sleep quality is Apollo Neuro Wearable. Apollo Neuro is a mood-altering wearable wellness device, invented by physicians and neuroscientists that uses gentle vibrations to help your body recover from stress.
According to research conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, Apollo Neuro’s stress-relieving technology provides 19% more time in deep sleep, on average. Apollo’s technology improves heart rate variability (HRV), so you can focus and get to sleep. This device delivers touch therapy, felt as gentle waves of vibration, which stimulates your “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous response and restores balance to the body.
The Apollo wearable pairs with a mobile app where you can select the mode that fits your needs, for example: energy, waking up, and being clear and focused. If you have trouble sleeping, the “sleep and renew” mode can help you to fall asleep easily, especially after busy days or travel.
3. Better Nights Anti-Blue Automatic Night Light
BREO BOX introduces you to a revolutionary futurustic gadget for all people who have trouble sleeping. Say ‘Hello’ to better nights with Better Nights Anti-Blue LED Night Light.

Higher light levels can suppress melatonin, interrupt the sleep cycle, and cause repeated awakenings which can harm the health of adults, and even the health of children.
Also, turning on all the lights on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night will disrupt your sleep cycle and reduce the time you spend ‘deep’ sleeping. Better Nights Anti-Blue LED Night Light is a powerful device that will support your sleep and reduce your exposure to blue light. It works as a direct plug-in, an automatic night light that will turn on when it’s nighttime and go off when it’s daytime.
