"The west wind withered the green trees last night, and I went up to the tall buildings alone, looking at the ends of the world". Throughout the ages, scholars and poets mostly expressed their feelings by drinking and writing poems. However, in the writings of many poets, what most expressed was the pain of lovesickness, and their true yearning was revealed in the lines of the poem. It is because of endless yearning that many people who have left cannot sleep at night and spend one sleepless night after another alone. Now in the 21st century, when the Internet technology is highly developed, the pain of lovesickness has been gradually solved, but the problem of insomnia is increasing. Great work and life pressure and irregular work and rest habits are the culprits. I'm glad that we are living in an intelligent era with new technologies emerging one after another, and more and more intelligent products focus on human sleep problems, We are committed to solving the troublesome problem of insomnia. Keywu Technology is a company that provides a complete set of products to solve insomnia problems. Today, we will talk about one of its smart pillows, the 12sleep memory pillow.

Back to nature, first of all, it is a pillow

In the dazzling smart hardware market, it seems that a product with a Bluetooth or WiFi module or a sensor module can be called "smart". Due to the lowering of the technical threshold, the quality of products in the smart hardware market is also uneven. What's more, in order to catch up with the trend or make a gimmick, they forcibly add intelligent modules to an ordinary product, so as to gain some attention. Instead, they tend to imitate others. However, they do not know that consumers buy a product in order to obtain its use value, and only return to its essence, Improving the use value of the product is the starting point of the product. In this regard, the 12 sleep pillow has well grasped the essential needs of users.

When it comes to pillows, some people will say that easy cleaning is the first need. After all, no one wants to sleep on a dirty looking pillow. When they see it, they will feel sleepy. Others will say that comfort is the first need. It is better to sleep on a hard pillow than not. In fact, 12sleep pillows already take these two points into account.

Let's take a look at the need for easy cleaning first. The 12sleep memory pillow is relatively good at easy cleaning. It uses double-layer fabric, so even if the pillow is white, there is no need to worry about getting dirty. When cleaning, you can remove both layers for cleaning, and the zipper design is also very user-friendly, which is convenient for cleaning the pillow case, However, there is an imperfection that it still takes a little effort to put the pillow into the cover, because the angle should be adjusted properly, otherwise the pillow inserted into the cover will be uneven, there will be creases, and it can not be inserted perfectly. I hope the product can be improved.

Let's look at the comfort. First, the pillow case is made of 100% cotton, which is non irritating to the skin. At the same time, the cotton material has good moisture retention and heat resistance.

Of course, the comfort of the 12sleep pillow is not mainly here. The main body of the pillow is filled with sponge imported from the United States, which is a special material for NASA. This material can sense signs and has the best rebound speed. This is the biggest difference between the ordinary sponge pillow and the sponge pillow. Because of this characteristic, this pillow is called a memory pillow.

Peel off the coat, and you can see that the sponge adopts the honeycomb pore design, which has good permeability. It can also be seen from the side of the pillow that the 12sleep adopts a B-shaped curve design, which conforms to the ergonomic design and can well support the neck and relieve the neck pressure. When it comes to comfort, the name of the pillow should also be mentioned. As its name suggests, the pillow is only 1kg, neither heavy nor light. The above is about comfort.

12Sleep also has an intimate point that there is a lavender sleeping perfume bag in the pillow. Of course, if you don't like the smell of lavender, you can take it out at any time. Just open the zipper to take it out.

To monitor sleep, a lunar recorder is enough

Since it is necessary to monitor sleep, the support of intelligent hardware is necessary, The 12sleep pillow also carries a sleep recorder called lunar, which is placed in front of the pillow and can be taken out when the zipper is opened. When sleeping, it can be directly plugged in for monitoring. At present, there are a variety of sleep monitoring tools in the market, and the monitoring principles are actually the same. Here is a simple science popularization. There is a sensor in the bracelet or recorder, A three-axis gyroscope will play a major role in monitoring the movement of the bracelet or recorder by establishing directional coordinates. Human sleep can be divided into light sleep and deep sleep. In light sleep, there will be some small movements of the hand or head, while in deep sleep, people are in a completely relaxed state, with almost no movement, The movement of these limbs or heads will be accurately captured by the sensor, and then the time of each shallow sleep or deep sleep will be calculated through the algorithm, so that users can know the sleep situation of last night through APP synchronization.

This lunar recorder is very convenient to use. It doesn't need to be worn like a bracelet. As soon as you lie down on the pillow, it will automatically monitor. It is also very compact, and can be connected by turning on Bluetooth.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the lunar sleep recorder has achieved a radiation free design, which does not need to worry about the health of infants, and it is free of charge. Officially, it can be used for one year, but after one year, if you buy it yourself, the cost is still high.

However, sometimes there will be exceptions when synchronizing data, which will be pointed out later.

Considerate but not perfect APP experience

Since you want to check the sleep situation, it is natural to synchronize the sleep situation from the APP. Although you can also obtain data from the WeChat public account, in general, the APP has more functions, and the interface design is much more beautiful than WeChat.

After opening the APP for the first time, you need to register your personal information first, so that the lunar recorder can learn your sleep habits, including name, gender, time to sleep and wake up, weight and password modification.

After setting, access the APP again. If there is no sleep data, you will be prompted to synchronize the data. If the synchronization is completed, the sleep situation of last night will be displayed, including the time to wake up, the length of deep sleep and the number of turns. The sleep quality of last night will be given in the lower right corner. As the sleep last night was, last night's sleep was not good. Click the button on the left to enter the menu, which contains four options, scenario card, alarm clock, sleep health and settings management.

Click the alarm clock to set the alarm clock, click Sleep Health to view the sleep situation last night, click Settings Management to see the updated device and the two options about us, enter the updated device to upgrade OTA, and view the current power.

Now let's take a look at the specific sleep data synchronization process. On the menu page, you can select whether to connect lunar&1kg or solar. Here we will only show the process of connecting lunar&1kg. Select a device to connect, as shown in the APP, shake 1kg three times, The LED on the lunar recorder lights up. Click the connection below to find the device list. Click it to synchronize the data, and finally display it in the APP.

At the same time, when viewing sleep status, the APP provides three viewing methods, namely, viewing by day, week and month, and gives the total sleep time and average sleep time of the week. When viewing by month, the APP marks the date of poor sleep in yellow and the date of good sleep in blue, so that users can view the days of good sleep and bad sleep easily.

I can't complain about the APP here. In fact, the synchronization of 1kg is not so smooth. Every time I click the connection, I jump back to the interface of selecting lunar, and this interface jump has repeatedly cycled several times. It takes several times to connect before the synchronization is successful. Anyway, Android is like this. I don't know how iOS performs. In this regard, the APP still needs to be improved.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the APP has selected scenarios. When you have insomnia at night, you can help sleep or play music on the scene. It also has the top function, which will automatically stop playing when the time comes. This can be set freely according to your own sleep time.

summary

The importance of sleep to people is self-evident, and in the fast-paced today, people's sleep quality is getting worse and worse. Keywu Technology focuses on people's sleep problems, and is plagued by insomnia problems. The market prospect is very good. As mentioned above, 12sleep first returns to the essence of the pillow, which is easy to clean and has good comfort. Secondly, it adds the sleep monitoring function, and the design of the APP is also very humanistic. It can play some music to promote sleep during sleep. However, it is difficult to keep the pillow flat when the pillow head is stuffed into the pillow case, There are also some bugs in the synchronization process of APP. I hope that the next generation products can improve in these aspects.
