My $4,505 in Bedroom Tech 😱

I've been obsessed with improving my sleep quality for 9 years since I first realized how insanely important it was.

I've tinkered with tons of products, and now have over $4,505 worth of tools helping me sleep.

Here are my favorites 👇

The @eightsleep Mattress 🛌

$3,000

I've tried most of the "cold bed" solutions and this is the only bed I've slept in where I don't regularly wakeup in a pool of sweat (yuck)

It gets COLD, is super comfy, and I miss it dearly when I'm away from home.

The @ouraring 💍

$300

The best tool I've found for monitoring sleep quality and recovery.

Extremely useful for seeing how lifestyle changes are affecting my sleep and for giving me rapid feedback on what's aiding or hurting my physical recovery.

Color changing lights from @tweethue 💡

~$200

I have these on a timer to automatically turn the bedroom lights red at 9pm to cut out all the blue light to reduce eye strain in the evening.

Great for keeping my circadian rhythm more normal.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses from @BLUblox1 😎

~$160

These are the most effective blue light blocking glasses on the market, and I try to put them on around sundown.

Even if you look a little funny, they're worth it.

Auto-Opening Blinds ☀️

$200

These blinds are set to automatically raise at 7am so the sun wakes me up instead of getting jarred awake by an alarm.

It's a much more pleasant, more natural way of waking up.

Dohm White Noise Machine 🌬

$45

This is my favorite white noise machine I've found, and I've used it for over 8 years now. It uses tiny fans in an adjustable compartment so you get a natural wind noise, instead of a synthetic recorded one.

Dyson TP04 Air Purifier 😤

$550

I didn't realize how polluted the air in my house was until I got this.

This purifier can detect how polluted the air is, then automatically adjust its filter speed accordingly until the air is clean again.

Sleep Mask 🥱

$10

I tried fancy sleep masks like the Manta, but liked this simply one much more.

It helps get you that last 10% of light blocking you won't get from your shades, especially if you have any electronics in your room.

Alexa Echo Dot 💬

$40

Last but not least, Alexa helps link everything together. I can control the blinds, lights, and noise machine (via a plug) from it, and set commands like "Good Night" to turn everything on and off at once.
