Give yourself the gift of sleep
Let's face it - we could all use more Zzzs! In recognition of this important fact, luxury watch brand Phillip Stein has released a revolutionary sleep bracelet that's designed to counteract the negative effects of everyday life and in turn bring balance to your slumber. The bracelet utilises technology based on the discoveries of German neurologist Hans Berger who in 1924 discovered that the brain has electrical activity (now known as Alpha Waves). These findings let Philip Stein to create a Natural Frequency Technology disk that acts as an antenna, capturing specific natural frequencies and channelling them towards the body which lets the wearer perform their best. Every Philip Stein sleep bracelet has this disk, so all you have to do is strap it on, and more balanced slumber shall find you.
