Sensory cues such as light sound smell and balance influence sleep.

Sensory cues from our mobile devices are having a negative impact on sleep

PRESENTEEISM

SLEEP DISRUPTORS: SOUND

N1 and N2 sleep are light sleep stages

You are likely to be roused by unusual sounds

Problem: Sound

Solution: White Noise

Machine

SLEEP DISRUPTORS: BLUE LIGHT

Artificial light cues interrupt our circadian rhythms

Shorter light wavelengths emitted from mobile devices suppresses melatonin production

Problem: Screens

SLEEP DEFICIT This is my personal

sleep deficit over the past few months

Sleep deficits cause: Increased reaction

time Impaired judgment Impaired decision

making skills Impaired problem

solving abilities

Updated Sleep Deficit

How Our Phones Can

Help

SLEEP ALARMS Choose your

bed time Keeps you from

staying awake too late

Helps develop a sleep schedule

SLEEP SOUNDS a.k.a. Auditory

Facilitated Relaxation

Use regular sounds to mask irregular environment noises

For those who think rain is the perfect lullaby

Combine calming sounds

THE SLEEP GENIUS

SOLUTION

SMART ALARM Actigraphy measures motor activity Determines when you are in light sleep stages Prevents sleep inertia Regular “fixed time” alarm clocks result in an 89% chance

of sleep inertia.

Adapts your screen to the time of day

Filters out blue light emissions

Helps to maintain your natural melatonin production

Helps maintain your natural circadian rhythm

BLUE LIGHT BLOCKERS

BINAURAL BEATS Use structured sound waves to

synchronize regions of the brain Mimic natural sleep cycle frequencies

CONCLUSION Sleep is a fundamental biological issue Important to health and wellness Vital for productivity

Who can afford to spend so much time sleeping anyways?

The truth is you can’t afford not to.
