sleeping

I’ve been sleeping for years regulate. The classic culprits are discarded: I don’t take late or copiously, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t take caffeine, I do sports, No mobile abuse just before going to bed… Simply I find it hard to fall asleep and sometimes wake up at several times during the night. So I wanted to whose car more and more manufacturers are climbed. In my case I have tried the Anker Soundcore Sleep A20. Let’s see how. What they are and what they promise Sleep A20 are wireless headphones designed exclusively for sleep. The first thing for what they attract attention: they are dwarves. The second: They are very light. The third: its profile is very low, they do not stand out from the ear. The closed box. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. They also come with several silicone and “wings” tips to adjust it, something especially important in some vermin that we are going to take sleeping for hours. The important thing is that they are not just headphones: Its application includes several environmental sounds, sleep monitoring and specific functions for the night. They can work in two modes: Bluetooth mode to reproduce any sound from our mobile. Sleep mode with soured sounds in the headphones. The experiment The first night was adaptation. I had never slept with a headset in my life. In addition, I usually sleep sideways. It seemed unlikely that a headset did not bother me. Minipunto for these, because I immediately forgot that I was wearing them. The flat design and the soft, gummy, flexible material, made it barely noticed additional pressure. Zero problem. They stand out practically anything. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Then there was the issue of listening. Put to try, I let the application surprise me with its own proposals, which they call “brain waves with the” created specifically to help us fall asleep. We can choose whether listening to them only for a while, only until we stay asleep or all night. I tried the three: Only for a while: It gives what it promises. If we mark 45 minutes, at 45 minutes it will stop ringing. Only until we stay asleep: The same, detecting the moment we fall. All night: What a bad time. The sound made me wake up a couple of times, something disoriented by him. Perhaps it is a personal issue and there are people who have a reparative dream with the headphones sounding throughout the night. It is not my case and I advise to set the timer in a generous way to ensure that the shutdown will occur. The Yay and the Nay There are four elements that work really well here: Exceptional comfort. They have never been a nuisance. They are soft and with the low profile they are not noticed or sleeping sideways, as a soil alternate. Spectacular battery. 14 hours in sleep mode is something that I can never check for myself. After seven hours of night use, when they woke up they still had about the remaining 50%. Passive noise block. Without active cancellation, but with the right tips they isolate surprisingly well. Reasonable, at least. Useful sleep monitoring. The application records sleep phases, number of turns in bed and preferred position. There is enough correlation with what it says My garmin on duration and phases. And then there are four other elements where they fail. Mediocre audio. That nobody expects audiophile quality. Nor is it the vocation of these headphones. The sound is functional, music lacks depth and warmth. Very limited pre -recorded sounds. There is some variety, but many sound compressed and artificial. The most effective are the noise of color (white, brown, pink). Application Faluta. He tells me that I slept 16 hours when the reality is that at seven hours I took them off and left them on the bedside table. I should understand that absolute immobility for nine hours cannot be equivalent to very deep sleep. In addition, it is not very intuitive when applying one way or another. Problematic tactile controls. In the dark it is easy to activate some function. About the application Falutathere is an example. I have not sleeping 11 hours possibly from the day before my birth. That lack of logic in detection is a negative point. Yes, you can see how much I move during the night: my wife says that 16 turns seems like a fairly reasonable figure. The data collected by the application. Image: Mockuuups Studio, Xataka. Also Atina that I am only able to sleep aside, and I have quantified what I already imagined: I usually sleep more towards the side of the edge. The final verdict The big question with these headphones is whether they really help sleep better. The answer, in my experience, is not. I did not notice differences between the nights with them sounding before sleeping and the nights without them. I thought That the scientific approach of pre -registered sounds would better induce sleep, but it has not been so. My Garmin data, with me every night, indicate very similar patterns with them and without them. And something worse when I tried to wear them playing all night, as I said before. At 150 euros are not cheap, but Yes I see them a clear target audience: the people who need to fall asleep listening to something. For that, I don’t think there are much better options for the low profile and night comfort. And without disturbing the bed couple, if there is. There I see an obvious sense. But for those who do not sleep wonderfully and look for allies of any kind to fall asleep, and not to simply hurry a podcast of True Crime Until we fall round, at least in my experience, these headphones do not miracles.
