8 products to help you stop snoringIf there was one health and wellness theme to take from CES 2020, it's that humans are really bad at sleeping. A ton of new products on display at the show in Vegas claimed that they'll help us fall asleep, stay asleep, track our sleep , and even train our brain to catch more z's. Headbands meant to track sleep, diagnose sleep issues, or teach you how to get better sleep were also common. 

These products will enter the increasingly crowded field of sleep tech : Many apps (such as SleepScore, Sleep Cycle and Sleep Time) and fitness bands (including several Fitbit models, the Apple Watch, the Motiv Ring) can now track sleep patterns, as do smart mattresses and bedside sensors

Here are some of the most interesting sleep tech products we saw at CES 2020. While some are already on the market, others are just prototypes for now.

At CES, Hatch unveiled the Restore -- a device that combines sleep sounds, a bedside reading light, and a sunrise alarm to address our most common sleep problems, including falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. You can personalize the Restore via an app based on your sleep routine, with different sounds (like white noise, water or wind) and the option to wake up with a sunrise alarm and birds chirping. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you can set it so all you have to do is push a button, and it will take you through a sleep sounds routine again, a company spokesperson said at CES. 

Restore will be available for purchase in early 2020. Pricing was not announced.

Sleep Number's new Climate360 smart bed -- announced at CES this year -- uses personalized temperature control to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep throughout the night. The bed adjusts the temperature on each side throughout the night, warming and cooling based on the sleeper's natural cycle and preferences. 

The bed is designed to create a routine that keeps you comfortable all night, a company representative told CNET. When you get into bed, the feet area warms up to help you fall asleep faster. As you go into a deep sleep, the bed cools down to lower your blood pressure and keep you restful. In the morning, the bed slowly starts to warm up. 

The Sleep Number Climate360 smart bed is expected to be available in 2021. It will cost $8,000. International pricing isn't available, but that's about $6,100 or AU$11,600.

The Urgonight headband

The Urgonight is a padded headband that connects to an app to measure your EEG, and uses games to teach you how to control the brain waves that impact sleep. The device uses neurofeedback therapy to show you a real-time display of your brain activity, with the goal of teaching you how to identify and change behaviors through different exercises. It's designed to be used for 20 minutes a day, three days a week. 

The device is meant to bring technology that would normally only be available in a sleep lab into your own bedroom, Guirec Le Lous, CEO of parent company Urgotech, told CNET. The Urgonight headband will be available in June, and will cost $500, according to the company.

Announced at CES, the Muse S is a headband and app combo that calls itself "your personal meditation assistant." The headband is a multisensor meditation device that provides real-time feedback on your brain activity, heart rate, breathing and body movements to help you meditate more effectively. The S version also includes guided meditations specifically for sleep, along with responsive soundscapes to help you fall asleep faster. 

"Meditation is an incredibly important skill that most people don't do because they don't know how to do it," a company representative said at CES. "Our goal is to help people solve the problem of how to meditate and what's going on in their mind and when they're doing it right."
