The Somnus Sleep Shirt by Nyx Devices is the latest in high-tech devices designed to measure the quality of your sleep. This clever shirt has sensors embedded into the fabric which enables it to measure and record your breathing patterns.
Normally if you if you wanted to know if you had a sleep disorder you would visit a clinic be wired to multiple sensors which would monitor your brain activity, eye movements, your muscle activity and your breathing not only is this expensive but also very inconvenient.
This new shirt would enable people to monitor their sleeping patterns and give them an indication as to not only how long they were sleeping for but also the quality of their sleep.
Although the idea of diagnosing sleep disorders by using breathing alone is still considered experimental this shirt could be the first stage in discovering whether you have a sleep problem without the usual inconvienience. Many people with insomnia under estimate how much sleep they are actually getting during the night and the device like this could help determine the severity of this problem among others.
This device is currently being tested alongside traditional methods of determining sleep problems and it is believed that it might go on sale before the end of this year and its estimated its cost will be under $100 putting it within the reach of most people.
Being someone who likes gadgets at that price I may well buy one for myself. It’s always interesting to determine how much sleep you actually get during the night and to be able to correlate it with things like drinking, eating late at night and other factors to see if they effect the quality of my sleep.
