CPAP machine. If you think you may have sleep apnea then get it checked out.

In-line water filter. Reduce the barrier-of-entry to drinking water however you can. Started with one of those gravity filters but having to refill it all the time was a barrier. One that's tied into mains pressure just works.

Ceiling fans. We have an evaporative cooling system which is good, but adding ceiling fans in the bedrooms and office really allow good air circulation on those hot days.

12mm flashing red LED and a magnetic switch. Stuck the magnetic switch on the garage door and the LED in the ceiling by the front door. Can now easily see if the garage door was left open.




Re Sleep: a sleep mask that is cupped as to not touch the eyes. Has been big improvement to my sleep.


If you're interested in sleep, we're building a headband that monitors sleep and alters sleep state using sound.

Here's a chart showing the effect over 8 consecutive nights (4 without, 4 with). https://imgur.com/z4vqS3w We're preparing for a larger study.

If you're keen to find our more, or get on the waitlist at https://soundmind.co


Can I beta test? I’ve tested many sleep gadgets already :)


We've got a pretty good list going already. I'd be keen to hear what you've tried in the past, what you've liked, and what you didn't. I can be reached at pete[at]soundmind.co


Would you have a recommendation for such a mask? I have been looking for such a mask and haven't found a good option so far.


This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Contoured-Adjustable-Comfort... Have used for 1.5 years now.


Thank you, I'll check it out.


was just going to comment CPAP machine! Hands down most life-changing thing I have acquired.
