You Can Fight Insomnia, Hot Flashes and Jet Lag like a Pro with OOLER from Chili Technology! We are both Customers and Advocates!

Many of us assume that if we spend eight hours in bed, we are meeting our daily needs for rest and rejuvenation. What we fail to take into account, is that the number of times we wake up throughout the night, or the minutes we spend tossing and turning under the covers, can seriously cut down on both the quantity and quality of our sleep.

Are you already suffering from interrupted sleep???

Interrupted sleep is when our sleep is studded with prolonged periods of waking up throughout the night, usually at least four times over the course of eight hours. This condition can be caused by a sudden shift in routine (for example, a new baby in the house), travel, unexpected noises (such as a party at your neighbor’s house or a partner’s snoring), bathroom trips, menopause or other health issues or racing thoughts.

Remember, if you have questions related to your health, always consult your doctor or medical professional. The information presented here is informative only and is not medical advice.

Experiencing interrupted sleep can have negative consequences on our overall health. During the night, your body progresses through different stages of sleep. If one stage is interrupted, your body has to reset and start going through the stages again, meaning you may never get to the deep, restorative sleep that occurs during later stages.

Even just one night of interrupted sleep can negatively affect your mood and cause you to experience a decline in attention span. Interrupted sleep can slow your reaction speed and make it harder to learn or remember things. It can also lead to a buildup of amyloid proteins in the body, which are linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

You may wonder what does all of this have to do with travel?

Travel can cause a severe type of sleep interruption we know as jet lag, also known as circadian desynchrony, a sleep disorder in which there is a mismatch with the body’s natural circadian rhythm and the external environment as a result of rapid travel across multiple time zones. This common problem affects all age groups but may have more pronounced effects on the elderly, whose recovery rate is slower than that in young adults.  Even worse is when your baseline sleep at home is already affected, the negative effects of jet lag can be even more pronounced.

A multitude of factors, such as the number of time zones crossed and the direction and timing of flights, play a role in the severity of symptoms experienced by travelers. You may notice some are affected more than others because there is much individual variability in each person's ability to adapt. Travelers usually experience symptoms after air travel across at least two time zones. Symptoms may include disturbed sleep, daytime fatigue, decreased ability to perform mental and physical tasks, reduced alertness, and headaches. Sleep disturbances typically last for a few days, but they can persist for as long as one week if the change in time zones is greater than eight hours. Eastward travel is associated with a longer duration of jet lag than westward travel.   More serious side effects have included cognitive deficits, gastrointestinal disturbances, and an increased risk of cancer, infertility, and heart disease.  And as you may have experienced, as the body’s internal circadian “clock” adapts to the new time zone,  jet lag diminishes.

A major strategy to minimize the effects of jet lag is adjusting the sleep schedule according to the new location during the days preceding the trip.

It's not surprising that in view of this information, techies have been eager to develop the best products for delivering light or sleep therapy to the public and especially road warriors.  The 2019 Las Vegas CES had many exhibitors doing just that:  showing their versions of light therapy in all shapes and sizes hoping to provide the best cure for jet lag or just providing ways to get you sleeping better even before you go.  If you understand the things that affect your sleep and work on improving it even before you leave for that great getaway, your ability to minimize jet lag and adjust your sleep schedule will be even better!

Today we will focus on how temperature affects your baseline sleep quality and how regulating temperature can help you phase shift your sleep for travel.

Are you too hot or too cold when trying to snooze? Maybe you’re trying to be money conscious by keeping the temperature as low as possible in the winter and as high as possible in the summer, but if you didn’t know, your thermostat can make or break your slumber. For some, the temperature has to be just right for an ideal night’s sleep.  Menopausal and perimenopausal women often note disruptions in their ability to sleep with "hot flashes" being a significant reason their sleep becomes so poor. 

Think of your bedroom as a cave!  In general, the suggested bedroom temperature should be between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal sleep. When lying in bed trying to snooze, your body temperature decreases to initiate sleep—and the proposed temperatures above can actually help facilitate this. If your room is cool, rather than warm, it will be much easier to shut your eyes for the night. Thermostat settings far lower or higher than what's recommended could lead to restlessness and can also affect the quality of REM sleep, the stage in which you dream.

LTD believes so much in this technology we purchased a king-sized OOLER mattress topper to test it out and here are the details of this amazing technology.

Packaging

The OOLER arrives well-packaged in a large box with individual units boxed within it. The ribbon pulls to help remove the components is appreciated and makes for easy unboxing.  

Set-up

With the quick set up guide, assembly is simple.  Step by step instruction are provided and the in depth manual can be used if you don't understand something or have an FAQ.  WE found the quick start guide to be SIMPLE!

Components

The OOLER mattress pad is everything that was needed to improve from the original chiliPAD developed by the company.  Instead of having the awkward under mattress straps, the corner straps are much easier to place.  With the chiliPAD, which we have used previously, we were concerned of water leaks onto our mattress. For this we purchased a water barrier mattress pad.  Chili has built a water barrier into the pad.  This gray backing is obvious when you remove the pad from he box. 

The pad is machine washable, an important feature because spot cleaning is not completely effective to keep a mattress pad sanitary over time!

The king-sized OOLER comes with two control cubes that are more streamlined than the chiliPAD cubes, making storage under the bed convenient (the chiliPAD control units would not fit under our bed).

Six sizes are available including entire bed systems with two zones of cooling or half bed systems with one zone of cooling.
