Why restful sleep is essential
When we sleep, we go through several stages - from falling asleep to light sleep, deep sleep to REM sleep (dream phase). Deep sleep in particular is responsible for nocturnal recovery. Blood pressure, body temperature and brain wave frequency drop, the body is in a state of complete relaxation. Ideally, this phase should last about 1.5 hours. If you are unable to get into a deep sleep due to night sweats, hot flashes and constant changes in position, your body cannot refuel with enough energy. Our cooling pillow helps you fall asleep better and find a calmer, deeper sleep. The underlying Outlast® Thermo technology was originally developed for NASA. In space, astronauts are exposed to temperature fluctuations of up to 200 degrees Celsius, depending on the solar radiation. Outlast® Thermo technology helps space explorers mitigate temperature peaks to ensure better concentration and less hydration during their demanding space explorations. So the technology behind our SLEEPcool products was originally developed for space, but has proven itself on earth and can also improve your sleep.
