Whether you’re looking for better sleep or to add more functionality to your bedroom, the tips here can help you. Each one involves Bluetooth, a technology that enables devices to transmit info to one another without wires. This handy way to share data can potentially take your bedroom experience to the next level! Here are some great examples.
Bluetooth-Enabled Adjustable Bed Base
Adjustable beds are popular for offering comfort, improving spinal alignment to help reduce back pain, and potentially decreasing snoring by raising the head to open the body’s airways. Changing positions to achieve these potential benefits is easier with app-enabled adjustable powered bed frames. Easily connecting the base to a smartphone via Bluetooth enables you to use the Nightstand app to activate preset positions like Anti-Snore and Zero Gravity, as well as other functions.
That can be more convenient and provide more customization than a traditional remote control. For example, change the head and foot positions in bed with a tap of your phone, without having to look for the remote.
Bluetooth Lighting for the Bedroom
Smart lighting can easily integrate with smart home assistants, such as Alexa, or connect to an app or other smart accessory. That can make it simple and fun to turn on and off bedroom lights, as well as dimming them. You might go the extra step to automate lights so that they turn on, off, or dim at a particular time of day, all without relying on a wired switch to do so. The timer option may help reduce energy use and help combat climate change as the lights won’t be on longer than needed.
Don’t worry about your computer or phone speed reducing to a crawl when you install Bluetooth lights either as they won’t reduce your Wi-Fi connection. They also will work even if your Wi-Fi is temporarily unavailable.
What about Bluetooth and Sleep Trackers?
You might benefit from Bluetooth-enabled sleep trackers, especially if you want to be more informed about your health. Sleep data can be transferred to an app on your smartphone via Bluetooth, where you can see detailed info over time and trends regarding how long you are asleep, breathing patterns, and more. An example is the Apple Watch.
The info you learn about might help you determine whether you need to see the doctor for a potential sleep issue. The app might also have suggestions for sleep improvement. Consider integrating a smart alarm to wake you up at a certain time, especially if you have to go to work.
Bedroom Speakers: Adding a Wireless Speaker System
While it might sound overwhelming to install, adding a Bluetooth speaker to your bedroom is surprisingly simple, even if you only have basic tech knowledge. It can be as easy as getting a portable speaker and connecting it to your smartphone through its Bluetooth settings. Once paired, the audio or music transmits to the speaker.
Being able to control the audio from bed with your smartphone is handy, whether you choose white noise to help you sleep or relaxing music. Rather than needing several of these speakers in the bedroom, one is likely enough if you get a model with 360-degree audio.
A Bit More about Bluetooth
It is important to note that Bluetooth is different from Wi-Fi, although the two things are often talked about like they are the same. Bluetooth transfers data across electronic devices, while Wi-Fi connects devices to the Internet. Offering a lot of flexibility, Bluetooth can work across a fairly big range of connection, depending on what the manufacturer sets it at (a short or longer range).
Concluding Words on Tech Improvements for Your Bedroom
Anyone who wants a smart home will likely try one or more of the suggestions above in the bedroom. Bluetooth has the potential to add convenience, save time, provide a more personalized sleep experience, and more. You might also consider syncing your speakers or lights with an alarm so that they turn on or off together for an even more custom bedroom experience.
Of course, these are only some of the ways to better your bedroom with technology. Your sleep haven awaits as you add Bluetooth-enabled devices that fit your needs and preferences to your home. Making it a more connected space has the potential to improve sleep quality and provide the overall room you are looking for.
Other ways to improve the bedroom include adding wall art, drapes, cozy bedding, and candles. These things can make the room feel more calming and look more stylish, ultimately creating the sleep environment you’ve always wanted.
