In recent years, the term ‘biohacking’ has gained popularity, especially among those who seek to optimise their health and wellbeing. This approach is based on the idea of using science and technology to improve physical and mental performance, as well as overall quality of life. With the rise of home ‘biohacking’, more and more people are adopting accessible tools and techniques to sleep better and live more fully.
Some technologies to sleep and live better
One of the highlights of biohacking is improving sleep quality. Here are some technologies and methods that are gaining popularity:
- Sleep tracking devices: Smartwatches and fitness bands can monitor sleep patterns, heart rate and activity levels during the day. This data allows users to identify factors that affect their rest.
- Mobile apps: There are numerous apps designed to help people improve their sleep hygiene. Some offer guided meditations, relaxing sounds or breathing techniques to facilitate better rest.
- Dimmable lights: exposure to blue light at night can interfere with the production of melatonin, a key sleep hormone. Dimmable lamps or smart bulbs that adjust their color temperature can help create a sleep-friendly environment.
- Sleep masks: Light-blocking masks can be helpful for those who have difficulty falling asleep in lighted environments. Some even include sound or vibration technology to induce a state of relaxation.
