"I've struggled with a lack of sleep and its after-effects for years. Besides a chronic pain condition that interferes with my sleep schedule, my sensitivity to sound and light means that it doesn't take much to snap me out of slumber after I get there. At least I'm in good company: according to the National Institutes of Health, more than 50 million Americans struggle with such sleep disorders."
"The Jabees Peace Pillow is a bone-conduction speaker that you put under your pillow. Since it transmits sound by contact with your head, no one else can hear it, but it doesn't require anything in your ears. That's precisely why I love it: it doesn't require me to wear something to sleep. At just over an inch thick, it doesn't cause any discomfort, especially for side sleepers. You can connect it to your phone with Bluetooth, load your own sounds"
Chronic pain, plus sensitivity to light and sound, can cause frequent awakenings and long-term sleep deprivation. More than 50 million Americans experience similar sleep disorders. Many sleep-focused devices deliver mixed results; some are ineffective while a few provide tangible help. Bone-conduction pillow speakers placed under the pillow transmit sound through contact with the head, avoid in-ear wear, offer preloaded or custom sounds, and can produce gentle vibrations that promote drowsiness without discomfort. Noise-canceling earplugs and brainwave-modulating headbands are other technological approaches. Certain headbands actively alter brain waves and have produced significant improvements for some sleepers.
