Helping tired people get the sleep they need
Not getting enough sleep can affect how our brain functions during waking hours. Slow wave activity (SWA) during sleep has beneficial effects on the restoration of brain function during the day by improving alertness and memory consolidation. 4 Based on research that auditory stimulation significantly enhances SWA, 5 Philips developed SmartSleep. Unlike other sleep trackers that merely monitor a user’s sleep pattern, this closed-loop, EEG-based system is uniquely designed with two small sensors that detect periods of slow wave sleep and intervene with clinically proven customized audio tones to boost it in real time. Users can access data from the headband via an app that tracks sleep patterns over time and measures the slow wave boosts delivered overnight. Need Nearly 40%
