Getting a good night's sleep has become a luxury for many people today, whether they stay up late on their own initiative or are forced to do so by study or work.
Problems with a poor night's sleep are also apparent, with symptoms such as irritability, poor memory, depression, fatigue and sleepiness becoming more frequent.
So many people are turning to sleep gadgets in the hope that they will improve their quality of sleep, but do they really work?
Is common sleep artifact useful?
1. Alcohol before bed: Not recommended
Many people feel sleepy after drinking alcohol, so some people find alcohol helpful for sleep. But the truth is that neither wine nor wine will save your sleep, and may actually make it worse.
After falling asleep, alcohol will continue to stimulate the central nervous system, affecting the sleep depth and sleep maintenance, sleep unsteadiness, more dreams and even headache, affecting the sleep after midnight.
If you have a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, alcohol stimulation can also induce nocturnal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Chinese Adult Insomnia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines (2017 edition) published by the Chinese Society of Neurology and 2017 ESRS European Guidelines: Diagnosis and Treatment of Insomnia published by the European Society for Sleep Research both suggest that alcohol should not be consumed before bedtime.
2. Sleep bracelets and other wearable items: not recommended
Most sleep bracelets, which can only provide a rough estimate of sleep by monitoring a person's movement, do little to improve sleep quality.
Others claim to have advanced chips embedded in them that can speed sleep through "XX technology" and "XX radio waves."
In fact, these sleep bands help manage sleep, not improve it by themselves.
With that money, you'd be better off buying soundproof earplugs, blackout eye masks and a comfortable bed.
