PHILIPS SMARTSLEEP
Sleep technology looks set to be a huge growth area this year, and Philips has been quick to develop devices such as SmartSleep. The device looks like a soft headband and contains sensors that detect when you’re in a deep sleep. In order to keep you in this resting state, SmartSleep plays patterns of white noise through built-in speakers. It might sound strange, but research shows it helps you feel more rested. $399.99.
