Hooray for technology! What people think of and develop using it is endless. Pretty soon, we will not only be able to adjust beds to our liking, in the year or two, we will be able to download movies off it.

Have you heard of the Starry Night Bed? It comes full packed with features, we probably be won’t looking at beds the same way again. What do you think is its effects on our sleeping habits in the future?

“I think it’s a phenomenal step forward combing the best technology with some in-depth psychological principles,” says sleep specialist Rubin Naiman, a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the University of Arizona’s programme in integrative medicine.“As the technology becomes more refined and economical, it can set a new standard for bringing sleep monitoring into the home,” he says.

Naiman, however, admits that too much of dependence on such technologies may be harmful.

“One concern is that people would overdo the entertainment piece,” he says.

Watching news or over-stimulating action or horror films right before bed, he adds, may disrupt sleep.

“It’s the blue end of the spectrum that suppresses melatonin,” says Naiman, referring to a natural hormone closely associated with sleep patterns.
