It’s practically impossible to find a grown-up who hasn’t at least once in their life experienced issues with sleep. We can see just how frequent such problems are if we recall that almost <\/span>40 million Americans<\/span><\/a> suffer from chronic insomnia.<\/span><\/p>\n Deep sleep is especially important due to its restorative effects on our brain, among other positive sides. However, this specific phase of sleep grows ever<\/span> shorter as we age and loses its depth due to the decrease of slow waves which characterize deep sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n Research has shown it’s possible to affect slow waves through auditory stimuli. Exposing sleepers to specific sounds played through headphones in predetermined, precisely calculated time patterns can trigger an increase in the occurrence of slow waves.<\/span><\/p>\n This discovery has led to the creation of a sleep-improvement mobile system that can be used repeatedly. A team of ETH Zurich researchers invented SleepLoop<\/span> \u2014 an at-home wearable device that promotes deep sleep that can be used safely in different life stages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
