In this post, I am listing below some videos telling about Innovations and Scientific research that are useful to improve our Sleep and our quality of Life
A wearable device for enhancing deep sleep
Researchers have developed a wearable device that plays specific sounds to enhance deep sleep. The first clinical study has shown that the device is effective, but not at the same level of effectiveness for everyone.

Hit the sleep ‘sweet spot’ to keep brain sharp | Too little & too much sleep cause cognitive decline
Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best in moderation. A multiyear study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive decline than people who slept a moderate amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease were taken into account

Tracking sleep with a self-powering smart pillow
People who struggle for shut-eye could benefit from monitoring their sleep, but they have limited options for doing so. In a new study in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, one team describes a potential solution: a self-powering smart pillow that tracks the position of the head.

MIT's AI algorithm monitors Sleep with Radio Waves
MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital have devised a new way to monitor sleep stages without sensors attached to the body. Their device uses an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze the radio signals around the person and translate those measurements into sleep stages: light, deep, or rapid eye movement (REM).

Scientists discover secret to waking up alert and refreshed
Many people who find it hard to wake up in the morning blame it on their constitution or their genes. But how you slept, what you ate for breakfast and the amount of physical activity you engaged in the day before have a lot more to do with your ability to wake up alert.
