Restorative sleep is essential for maintaining top physical and mental health. However, many things can get in the way of a good night’s sleep like stress, overstimulation, snoring, etc. Smart pillows as sleep aids entered the market with the claim that they could help people relax, reduce snoring, and increase comfort—all of which could lead to improved sleep. But can smart pillows really help you sleep better?

According to the CDC, one-third of American adults report that they habitually get less than the recommended amount of sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to chronic diseases and conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, depression, and obesity. And not getting adequate sleep can result in mistakes at work and vehicle accidents. Getting enough sleep is not just a luxury, then. It’s a duty.
