Nox smart sleep aid lamp experience: a zero-interference sleeping angel

Wearable devices account for a large proportion of the smart hardware category, especially in the field of health monitoring. As a company focusing on sleep monitoring, Sleepace is simply a unique company in the industry.

Huang Jinfeng, CEO of Sleepace, believes that sleep monitoring should be achieved without affecting the user's sleeping habits. Therefore, non-wearable products are the route he has always insisted on.

Not long ago, Sleepace launched the Nox smart sleep aid light, which is said to be able to monitor the user's sleep in the most natural state. Is this really the case? As the saying goes, reviews are not the only criterion for testing advertisements. Follow along and experience it, and the answer will naturally be revealed.

Simple and lightweight design

The importance of appearance design to a product is comparable to the importance of cultural soft power to a country. It determines the product image and the user's first impression and is an important part of the user experience.

But some people may ask, isn't this a "sleep light"? Once you close your glasses, you can't see anything, so whether it looks good or not is just like that.

You are wrong. As a "sleeping angel", the appearance of the product is directly related to the user's mood and indirectly affects the sleep-aiding effect. How can it be said to be unimportant?

The product packaging is simple, and the standard configuration is a smart light plus a dedicated charging plug. As you can see, the body shape is a rectangular parallelepiped with a rounded square bottom, the bottom side is 11cm long and the height is about 22cm.

The product is made of plastic, and the main body is white and gray, giving it an overall simple and light feel.

There are 5 touch buttons on the top of the body, which can control the status of the Nox smart light, adjust the music volume and light intensity, etc.

Below the sound hole on the back are the charging port and USB port. Users can charge smart devices through the USB port, and the charging output parameter is 5V-1A.

This is the state of Nox's light. The real-time indicator screen below the logo can show the current time. I wonder if it would be your favorite to have it by your pillow?

Soft sound and light help you sleep scientifically

The 2015 China Sleep Index Report shows that 31.2% of Chinese people have serious sleep problems, which is also the main problem that the Nox sleep aid lamp hopes to solve.

Mental stress is one of the reasons why it is difficult to fall asleep. Nox creates a safe and comfortable environment through a combination of light and sound, which can help users enter a state of relaxation.

In terms of light, the Nox sleep aid mode will enable a red-orange light. It is reported that the wavelength of this light is in the range of 590~750nm, which can stimulate the secretion of melanin in the human body, which is a substance that can promote human sleep. From the experience effect, this light can indeed make people feel drowsy.

Of course, users can also choose any other light color they like. The white plastic shell makes the Nox just right for light transmission, and the experience of reading the phone under such lighting conditions is also very comfortable.

In terms of music, Nox has also carefully selected songs that help you sleep, with gentle and soothing melodies. You can also choose the sound scene yourself through the App.

The default duration of the sleep aid mode is 45 minutes. I would like to apologize to the majority of netizens here. The testers have not had time to verify this data, and it has already...

Mobile phone linkage invisible monitoring

After helping you fall asleep, Nox will continue its guardian work: monitoring sleep data.

Under the same conditions, there are certain differences between the monitoring data of Nox and the wristband.

The left side shows Nox data, and the right side shows the bracelet data.

The results show that the data measured by the bracelet is closer to the actual situation. This is related to the different principles of the two products.

Nox mainly relies on the phone's gyroscope to determine body movement and thus the user's state. It is difficult to distinguish between the awake state and the sleeping state of lying still. The wristband uses the heart rate as the main basis for judgment, which can distinguish the above situations. However, in terms of the degree of interference, Nox has no direct contact with the user, which is better than the wristband.

In this test, the phone consumed more than 60% of its power after 6 hours of sleep, which is not low. Of course, this is also related to the phone model. Perhaps considering this, Nox is specially equipped with a USB charging output interface.

Users can also set alarms on Nox. In addition, built-in sensors enable it to monitor environmental factors that affect sleep, such as temperature, humidity, noise, and brightness.

Overall, the Nox smart light has an outstanding sleep-aiding function, but it relies too much on the phone for sleep monitoring, and the data accuracy needs to be improved. As a member of the Sleepace sleep monitoring system, it may have unexpected effects when used with the RestOn sleep monitor.
