Hello Sleep Enthusiasts,
I’m Tara Youngblood, your resident Sleep Geek, and I am beyond excited to share with you the latest breakthrough in sleep technology—Gellipad. This revolutionary sleep innovation cools you while you sleep without the need for electricity, ensuring a comfortable and restful night’s sleep. Gellipad leverages advanced silica gel beads to regulate your body temperature naturally, promoting deep sleep and enhancing your overall sleep quality.
The Importance of Sleeping Cool
Temperature regulation is crucial for optimal sleep. Our bodies naturally lower their core temperature as we prepare for sleep, a process that is essential for transitioning into the deeper stages of sleep. Disruptions in this cooling process can lead to fragmented sleep and reduced time spent in restorative deep sleep.
Gellipad: Harnessing the Power of Silica Gel Beads
Gellipad is designed to work with your body’s natural cooling processes. The silica gel beads within the Gellipad absorb and dissipate heat, creating a consistent and cool sleeping environment. This innovative approach not only helps you fall asleep faster but also supports uninterrupted deep sleep throughout the night.
The Study: Gellipad
Study Design:
- Participants: 54 subjects (27 men and 27 women) participated in the study, conducted in their normal sleeping environments.
- Duration: The study spanned over two weeks, with participants sleeping with Gellipad for one week and without it for another.
- Metrics: Sleep stages, total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), sleep efficiency (SE), heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured using home sleep test devices and wearable technology.
Findings:
-
Improved Deep Sleep:
- Participants experienced a significant increase in deep sleep when using Gellipad, with an average increase of 14 minutes (22%) in the first half of the night. This aligns with findings from the study by Moyen et al., highlighting the importance of cooling for deep sleep.
-
Enhanced Cardiovascular Recovery:
- Heart rate and HRV metrics improved with Gellipad, Participants had a lower sleeping HR and higher HRV, indicating better cardiovascular recovery during sleep.
-
Thermal Comfort and Sleep Quality:
- Participants reported higher levels of thermal comfort and overall sleep satisfaction when using Gellipad. The consistent cooling effect of the silica gel beads contributed to fewer awakenings and a smoother transition between sleep stages.
Why Gellipad?
-
No Electricity Needed:
- Gellipad operates without electricity, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for everyone.
-
Promotes Deep Sleep:
- By maintaining an optimal sleep temperature, Gellipad helps you achieve and sustain deep sleep, leading to better overall sleep quality.
-
Comfortable and Durable:
- The gel beads cradle your body, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort without the heat retention issues associated with traditional memory foam.
-
Easy to Use:
- Simply place Gellipad on your mattress or pillow, and let it work its magic. It’s that simple!
