Philips SmartSleep Deep sleep headband improves sleep quality—without extending sleep time

Philips wearable Deep sleep headband and mobile app are clinically proven to enhance the quality of sleep. Your patients will feel more rested and refreshed without changing how long they need to sleep.¹

Philips SmartSleep Deep sleep headband was founded on 10 years of sleep research by industry leading experts and supported by four years of Philips research and development. It’s ideal for patients who:

Are between 18 and 50 years old
Sleep less than 7 hours per night due to lifestyle
Have no issues falling or staying asleep
Sleep well when asleep

Philips Deep sleep headband is a closed-loop, EEG-based system that uses highly sensitive sensors not only to detect deep sleep, or slow wave sleep, in real time, but to enhance it via acoustic stimulation^2,3,4 without causing arousal. It has been shown that SWS is significant because it has beneficial effects on the restoration of cognitive function and positively influences memory consolidation and learning capacity during the day. By improving slow wave sleep with acoustic stimulation, sleep quality is enhanced and daytime energy is increased without additional sleep time.¹

Note that Philips Deep sleep headband is not for those who suffer from serious sleep conditions such as insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea.
