5 Gift ideas for Insomniacs

1. Dodow LAC01561

If you’re looking for something that will actively help your loved ones fall asleep naturally, then this is the product for you. It’s surprising how incorporating a little technology to your sleeping routine can really make all the difference. Dodow is an easy to use metronome with a light system that trains insomniacs how to fall asleep naturally without any medicinal aid.

It works by synchronizing your breathing to the pulsating light which slows down your breathing rate, metabolism, and eventually relaxes your body to the land of nod. So if it takes your friend, relative, or spouse about an hour to sleep, the Dodow should have them out in less than 20 minutes. Definitely a nice gift that will help distract anyone off to sleep.
