Generally adults need to sleep about seven to nine hours in
a day to feel fresh in the next morning. However there are times when we are
disturbed by inconvenient temperature, and as a result we will have difficulty
to sleep soundly.
An interesting solution is proposed by an inventor named
Mark Aramli. Through a device called BedJet, we are given the ability to 'hack'
the biorhythms of natural sleep. BedJet itself is an intelligent temperature
control system that can cool or warm the mattress to give the best quality of
rest. With BedJet, we can fall asleep faster and longer.
What does it mean with 'hacking' the biorhythms of natural
sleep? Sometime we wake up in the middle of sleep when there is interference
from outside or when we feel discomfort with the temperature. BedJet will make
sure that the only reason we wake up is when the body has felt fit - no more
freezing or sweating during the sleep.
Based on the research (by the National Institutes of Health
and the Dutch Institute for Neuroscience), it turns out that the body
temperature is always changing. For the average human, between 9 pm and 9 am,
the body temperature is in the range of 37 degrees Celsius. Whereas in periods
of deep sleep - at 12 am until 5 am, the body temperature will drop down to the
lowest point, reaching 36 degrees Celsius, it may sound small, but one degree
Celsius is actually a big distance.
BedJet's smart technology is capable of adapting to the
transition personally, because each person is different. It will get smarter if
you use it more frequently. BedJet is storing a number of sensor circuits that
serve to record and monitor unusual changes in your bedroom. You are also welcome
to create and customize the temperature profile via the mobile application.
Even in theory, user can create a personal sauna zone in the mattress.
BedJet can work with all types of beds. You just need to put
this device under the mattress. When it's activated, BedJed will blow air over
and under the sheets, as if forming bearings. This technique causes the
temperature will be distributed evenly and thoroughly, taking into bed and
covering you.
If you are interested, you can get the BedJet on crowdfunding
site, Kickstarter, which is the second version of BedJet, the successor of the
previous generation. BedJet V2 is offered at a price of $ 199, but for now it's
only available for Canada, USA and Mexico.
