Enjoy Sleep Music Therapy with Earfree Nitebuds

If you wake up a bunch in the middle of the night, this is the product for you. The sleep music therapy product, Earfree Nitebuds, is a two-in-one speaker and pillow that plays calming music, improving your quality of sleep.

Research shows that, when listening to calming music, we get increased levels of dopamine – the happy hormone – from our feel-good activities. Earfree Nitebuds took this concept and ran with it, developing this new product that uses music to help you fall asleep easy and continue to listen to music while you sleep.

Many of us who have trouble sleeping at night use earphones to listen to calming sleep music, but sleeping with earphones in is just too uncomfortable. Using earphones while you sleep can cause pain and inflammation in the ear; plus, earphones tend to fall out in the middle of the night. But the adverse effects of earphones on ear health is undoubtedly the most critical of these issues.

Earfree Nitebuds puts music IN the pillow to solve the problems caused by conventional earbuds. All you have to do is lay your head down on the pillow to be serenated with lovely music. There’s no earbuds involved – so you can roll around in bed all you like without having to worry about damage to your ears or earbuds falling out.

Earfree Nitebuds are simple to use. Just place the speakers in the special sleep-aid pillow, then use Bluetooth to pair your smartphone and begin your music therapy. Once your music is playing, Nitebuds’ crater-shaped design enhances the acoustics, making you feel like you’re listening in on a concert hall performance. This design also prevents the sound from leaking out, giving you the same quality of sound at a 30% lower volume, so as not to bother whoever’s sleeping next to you.

The Nitebuds app also provides free ASMR music and ambience, soothing the brain and easing any anxiety. This white noise works has great benefits on mental health and attentiveness, making the sleep music from the Nitebuds app particularly effective at inducing a natural sleep.

Earfree Nitebuds uses 3D mesh material for full, fluffy comfort. The mesh also helps the music play through the pillow without getting muffled, plus high-quality microfiber cotton is also used to give the perfect amount of depth and coziness. The microfiber cotton is also a renewable, biodegradable material, which means Nitebuds is eco-friendly, too.

Even though Nitebuds is electronic, the speaker and pillow are fully separable, meaning the pillow can be washed without issue. If you want, you can even use the pillow by itself without the speakers, or even place other items inside the pillow to help you sleep.

For instance, if you find yourself sweating a lot in those hot summer nights, you can place ice-packs in the pillow to help cool off. Or, when you’re stressed out and in the mood for aromatherapy, the CYPRESS insert can be used for some phytoncide healing.

Also, if you have a preference for a specific pillow height, just use the COTTON insert to adjust the pillow’s height to your preference.

Currently, you can find Earfree Nitebuds – the high-tech pillow that serenades you to sleep – on Indiegogo at an up to 41% discount.

3 Tips For Getting Better Sleep When You’re Pregnant

While being pregnant can be an amazing experience, it also comes with its own set of hardships. What your body goes through when you’re pregnant can be exhausting, to say the least. But at this time when you need sleep and rest the most, actually getting it can be one of the most challenging things of all.

So if you’ve been having a hard time getting the rest you need over the last few weeks or months, here are three tips for getting better sleep when you’re pregnant. 

Do What It Takes To Get Comfortable

As your pregnancy progresses, you’re likely to feel less and less comfortable with each passing day. Because of this, it can be hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in as well, especially when sleeping on your stomach or back is generally off-limits.

To combat this, Parents.com recommends that you do whatever you can to get yourself comfortable in your bed, including using an exorbitant amount of pillows or investing in a puffy queen mattress. With all these extra cushions, you should be able to situate your body in such a way that you’re getting the support you need while also feeling the right areas of your body being cradled or padded. Try putting pillows between your knees, under your belly, or along your back. 

Keep Things Cool

When you’re pregnant, your body has a lot more blood pumping through it, which means you get hot much easier than you normally might. This extra blood and heat can make it hard to stay at a comfortable temperature when you’re sleeping.

To help with this, Dr. Nivin Todd, a contributor to WebMD.com, advises that you take control of the temperature in your room by turning down the thermostat. Additionally, you can also place a fan or two around your bed to give you some more airflow if you start to feel too hot. 

Limit Food And Drinks Before Bed

Some other problems that keep many pregnant women awake at night are heartburn and frequent bathroom breaks. But with the right strategy, you can decrease the odds of these things ruining your night’s sleep.

According to Dr. Dawn Kingston, a contributor to Psychology Today, limiting your food and drinks before bed can help you reduce the chances of heartburn creeping up on you as well as help you keep your bladder empty. But if you do have to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, try to keep things as dark as you can so you can easily slip back into sleep once you return to bed. 

If you’re worried about getting the sleep you need while pregnant, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you rest easier.
