    March 2025 – Tech Tools for Sleep

    Getting and staying asleep is easier when your mind and body are relaxed and calm. This month’s theme is about using tech tools to help relieve stress at bedtime.

    While there are good reasons to limit smartphone use at bedtime, there are ways to use it that may support getting better sleep. Sleep apps may help you relax and reduce anxiety and stress, so your brain is better set for sleep. Many also offer meditation exercises, stretching, nighttime yoga, breathing exercises, and/or calming music or nature sounds.

    Bedtime story anyone? Sleepcasts are apps that offer stories read in a calm, soothing voice that distracts your brain from racing and anxious thoughts that can keep you awake. Or apps that trigger ASMR may be calming for you. This stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, or tingly, goosebump feelings down your spine. Finally, you may want to try sound apps that offer white, pink, and brown noise to mask disturbing or unexpected noises that can interrupt your sleep.

    Sustainability - Eat Right

    Eat Right – Nutrition Tech  

    Nutrition plays a crucial role in sleep quality, and technology can help you make better dietary choices. Apps like MyFitnessPal and Yummly offer personalized meal plans and recipes that promote sleep-friendly foods, such as those rich in magnesium and tryptophan. These tools can help you track your nutrient intake and ensure you’re consuming the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, smart kitchen gadgets like NutriBullet Balance can suggest smoothie recipes tailored to your sleep needs, making it easier to incorporate sleep-promoting ingredients into your diet.
     Sustainability - Be Fit

    Be Fit – Wearable Trackers

    Regular physical activity is essential for good sleep, and there are numerous tech tools to help you stay active. Wearable fitness trackers like Fitbit and Garmin can monitor your daily activity levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns, providing insights into how your exercise routine impacts your sleep. Apps like Nike Training Club and Peloton offer guided workouts that you can do at home, making it easier to stay consistent with your fitness goals. By integrating these tools into your routine, you can find the right balance of exercise to enhance your sleep quality.
     Sustainability - Live Well

    Live Well – Sleep Environment

    Creating a relaxing environment and managing stress are key to improving sleep, and technology can assist in various ways. Smart home devices like Philips Hue lights can simulate natural light patterns to help regulate your circadian rhythm. Meditation and relaxation apps like Calm and Headspace offer guided sessions to reduce stress and promote relaxation before bedtime. Additionally, white noise machines and sleep trackers can help you create an optimal sleep environment and monitor your sleep quality, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
