Elemind Headband aims to improve sleep quality with AI technology.
USA Today Welfare Reporter Elsa Goldberg tested Elemind Head Band, which aims to help you sleep fast using sleep science and AI.
New York, New York – The Green Room of the Office has turned into a desperate space. The narrow sofa is manufactured with three pillows and a sharp blanket, and I have reached my most comfortable works and a comfortable red sweater.
I kept waiting for this blink all day. Only the problem? I can never sleep.
Certainly, when I am sick, I will be sleeping all day, and maybe every other month, I will sleep on Friday evening for a few hours to rest before the weekend. But when there are 20 minutes of power naps in my to -do list, there are a million things? I can’t calm my mind enough for it.
If you are like me and struggle to sleep, you may be curious. Elimand, Wearing headbands that use neurotechnology to help people sleep fast.
Elemind Headbind is usually used to facilitate the whole night’s sleep, but I had to try it for a 30 -minute, middle afternoon.
Elemind’s CEO, meredith Perry went through the setup process, connected my headband to the Elemind app and adjusted the device to sit firmly on my forehead. The head band emits sound simulation that responds to the consumer’s brain waves to suppress the alpha waves, which occurs when the brain is in peace but still awakens. Perry says it will not keep you sleepy nor manage your sleep stages, but if you wake up at midnight, it can help you go back to sleep.
The material was pleasant and fit was comfortable; As long as I put down, I was not paying much attention to it. Once my air plugs and an i -masks were in place, I was ready to sleep. I started to hear Module vibration Hitting my forehead; It looked like a cricket on a summer night.
The commitment to wear and demo the head band forced me to sleep all my attention. I felt as if at least 15 minutes had passed, and when I was not sleeping, I knew this one minded practice. I kept my eyes closed, let my body feel heavy against the sofa and let my thoughts pass through me momentarily. If I didn’t try to rest so much, I would probably have reached my phone (or in this case, just returned to work).
But I started to feel my dream slipping in the dream, and with my surprise I fell asleep.
When Perry returned to the Green Room, I didn’t know how much time had passed. I felt more ground than going to the demo but more than that. My data said that I was awake for 22 minutes, and dropped into a slight sleep for 10 minutes. When I was able to find my zen, it was not enough.
According to Ryan Blue of Science and Research in Eli Mind, I have a strong alpha wave double, a type of brain wave that occurs when the brain is in a comfortable state, but wakes up.
“Most people when they close their eyes but still wake up, they begin to produce this alphabet. It is related to awareness when you are trying to sleep,” he says. “Something. Conviction That is, among the people with insomnia, it increases. “
I also have a risk of migraine, and after noon I felt a headache, which I pressed with some caffeine and ibuprofen. However, Nellie says his clinical trials have not reported a migraine from the use of headbands. I am inclined to believe that gold for such a short time and just returning to sleep only plays an important role in the end of my afternoon.
“If you finally fell asleep, and then you get 10 minutes to sleep and you have to wake up again, it’s annoying,” he says.
Nellie says that this is why Elimand’s purpose is to maximize bedtime, so that the time spent on the bed is not wasted and wasted to bend.
Elemind Headbind can be purchased on his website at $ 349, his app’s annual membership begins at $ 6.99/month, where you can access your sleep tracking data. The headband can work with or without the app, so no need for ongoing membership.
From my experience, I am uncertain whether Elemind will benefit my night routine. I do not sit until midnight, and my problem is to solve. After I close my eyes, I’m so tired that I take a while to sleep. But coming from someone who never sleeps, I am impressed that the head band allowed me to hide in a quick rest interval, especially with my colleagues who are sitting only 100 feet away.
