New wearable devices are emerging that target the brain to improve sleep. These devices use sound or electrical stimulation to modulate brain waves and encourage sleep. While there are still some short-term studies showing promise, long-term effects are still unknown. However, companies are betting heavily on wearables, with several companies developing devices that claim to help people fall asleep faster and improve the quality of sleep. These devices are often packaged as headbands with companion apps that provide instructions and guidance for use. While the effectiveness of these devices is still being studied, they offer hope for those struggling with sleep disorders.
