Something so integral to our well-being really shouldn’t be so difficult, but getting a good night’s sleep often evades even the most capable of us. Here to help is Nokia, which launched the Nokia Sleep mattress pad at CES in Las Vegas this week.

This advanced, Wi-Fi-enabled pad sits under your mattress, and not only delivers personalized sleep analysis, but also offers the ability to control your smart home through IFTTT integration. Nokia’s Health Mate app is also now compatible with Alexa, which means you can ask your favorite virtual assistant to provide you with insights on your activity, sleep, and other health metrics.

Nokia Sleep provides customers with a number of key data points related to your sleep habits and environment. The sensor boasts sleep cycle analysis, which includes information about your sleep duration and interruptions, snoring, and light, deep, and rapid-eye movement phases. Nokia Sleep also provides an individualized Sleep Score to help you quantify how restful your sleep really was, and hopefully, help you improve your slumber based on each night’s experience.

If there are certain elements in your surroundings that can be adjusted to make said improvements, Nokia Sleep can take care of those via its IFTTT integration. The sleep pad also functions as a switch that can automatically control lights, thermostats, radios, and more to personalize and optimize your sleeping environment.

“Our vision is to help make the world a healthier place, and quality of sleep is as critical a component of a healthy lifestyle as regular exercise and a balanced diet,” said Rob Le Bras Brown, head of Nokia’s digital health business. “Nokia Sleep gives users insight into what happens when their eyes are closed, along with the ability to change the environment for more restorative sleep with the IFTTT home automation capabilities.”

The Nokia Sleep mattress pad will be made available in the first quarter of 2018 for just under $100, and can be purchased from the Nokia website or Amazon. The Nokia Health Mate app Alexa Skill, will be available in Beta beginning January 8, 2018.

Flash deal gets you an Amazon Echo Pop for $20 — that’s 50% off

If you've always wanted easy access to Amazon's Alexa across your home but you're not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on Amazon Echo deals to equip several rooms with a smart speaker, then don't miss this chance to get the Amazon Echo Pop for only $20. A limited-time deal from Amazon has slashed the device's price with a $20 discount on its original price of $40, so you'll be able to afford to buy multiple. You're going to have to hurry though, as it may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Pop
The Amazon Echo Pop isn't going to challenge the performance of the Amazon Echo Studio nor match the 360-degree sound of the Amazon Echo Dot, but it's a great way to access Alexa without spending a lot of money, according to our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy. It's very compact so you'll be able to easily find a spot for it within any room, and while its front-facing design is a bit limiting, it's a minor trade-off especially if you're planning to place it in a small area.

Fitness deals: treadmills, ellipticals, weights on sale

nordictrack x32i treadmill review press lifestyle

Going on a fitness journey can be very tough, especially if you don't have a lot of motivation, which is why having home fitness equipment is important, especially if you don't want to drag yourself to a gym regularly. While that sort of equipment tends to be expensive, there are luckily quite a few home gym deals that you can take advantage of, whether it's things like dumbells or water bottles, which is why we've gone out and found our favorite deals and listed them below. You can also check out some other great brand-specific deals, such as these NordicTrack deals and Bowflex deals.
Adjustable Dumbbell 55-pound 5-In-1 Single — $156, was $190

One of the worst things about dumbbell training is having too many dumbbells. They can take over your whole gym. This deal (on a SINGLE dumbbell, so buy two!) can take the place of five dumbbells in your complete gym kit. Instead of one 55-pound dumbbell, you're getting an 11-pound dumbbell, a 22-pound dumbbell, and so on up until the 55 pounder. This is advantageous if you're just starting out with working out and don't know what weight you need to start with or if you want to do different exercises with different weights. Finally, note that the design of the adjustable dumbbell is quite safe as you can only adjust the weights (via a simple handle turning mechanism) while they are laid carefully on tray. Once they're off, the weight is "locked in" so to speak until you return them to the try. No lost toenails here!
