Can Smart Textile Sleepwear using far infrared technology improve the Sleep Quality and hence Recovery of Athletes?
All living organisms permanently emit energy into their surroundings. Carefully chosen minerals, embedded in or printed on textiles reflect this energy in the form of far infrared rays. Far infrared rays can improve the oxygenation of cells, which enables the body to fall asleep quicker, stay in deep sleep mode longer, lower the muscle tonus and helps the body to perform maintenance and preservation tasks while you sleep. Dagsmejan, a smart textile start-up based in St. Gallen, has developed sleepwear that uses this far-infrared technology to help, in particular athletes, experience a more restful sleep, to enhance recovery and to improve athletic performance.
• All living organisms permanently emit energy into their surroundings. Carefully chosen minerals, embedded in or printed on textiles reflect this energy in the form of far infrared rays
• Far Infrared is a type of energy on the infrared spectrum that influences the human body. It enhances cell function, which means blood circulation is enhanced. Therefore, injuries might heal quicker, and stamina and endurance could be amplified.
• With regards to sleep, far infrared rays may improve the oxygenation of cells, which could potentially enable the body to fall asleep quicker, stay in deep sleep mode longer, lower the muscle tonus and possibly helps the body to perform maintenance and preservation tasks while you sleep.
• The knowledge of far infrared rays and their potential positive properties has its origins in Asian curative medicine and is widely used around the world. Far infrared rays are part of the infrared ray spectrum and are radiated by the sun, many minerals, as well as by the human body.
• Dagsmejan, a smart textile start-up based in St. Gallen has developed a range of sleepwear which is using this far-infrared technology to help, in particular athletes, to promote a more restful sleep, to enhance recovery and to improve athletic performance
• In an industry collaboration we investigate the capacity of those textile to deliver on those claims.

Your task will be to conduct a study in healthy young adults/athletes. We will measure skin temperature, comfort and sleep quality in the home environment using sensors, questionnaires and a wrist worn activity tracker over several days. We will compare nights with and without this smart textile sleepwear to assess the effectiveness of the concept.
