  • Ikea launches slow TV channel to help Aussies sleep better

    Ikea launches slow TV channel to help Aussies sleep better

    Swedish furniture chain Ikea has expanded on its efforts to put Aussies to sleep, creating a live-streamed ‘Slow TV Channel’ which follows the 14-day journey of its products aboard a cargo ship.

    Decidedly unexciting, the effort mixes the soothing sound of waves crashing against the ship’s stern with narration by Ikea’s Kent and Sara Eriksson – hosts of Ikea’s sleep podcast.

    Kent and Sara read from the latest Ikea catalog in a soothing tone in order to help Australians get a good night’s rest.

    “We’re very excited to launch what could be the least exciting TV channel Aussies have ever seen,” Ikea Australia country commercial activity leader Ryan Burman said.

    “We know that one in four Aussies struggles with their sleep, so we hope that the rhythmic, monotonous content of the slow TV channel helps quieten the day, and get the mind and body ready for bed.”

    According to Burman, Ikea wants to inspire Australians to create a better sleep environment.

    The live streamed video will run for 336 hours – from September 12th to 26th – ending at the opening of Ikea’s Festival of Sleep which will run from September 26th to October 7th.

    According to Ikea, the festival will feature in-store workshops, guest speakers, special offers, competitions and exciting activities designed to help customers get better sleep.

  • Google launches its health-tracking app For Iphones

    Google launches its health-tracking app For Iphones

    Google Fit, the health-tracking app that made its debut on Android four years ago, has now been released on iOS. The app has gone through multiple overhauls since its launch back in 2014, but the last major update released last year made it extremely simply to use.

    Starting today, iOS users will be able to track their Heart Points and Move Minutes, the best way to build smarter, healthier habits throughout the day. Google Fit awards users so-called Move Minutes and Heart Points the more they move and the more intensely they move. Based on the scores, you’ll be closer to reach the recommended amount of weekly physical activity and reap the health benefits.

    It’s purely motivational, but very helpful if you’re trying to exercise but don’t find the courage to do it regularly. More importantly, Google Fit allows users to track their progress throughout the day using various apps.

    For example, app connected to Apple Health, such as Sleep Cycle, Nike Run Club and Headspace, can be synced with Google Fit to offer a more holistic view of your health. You’ll also be able to see how many Heart Points and Move Minutes you earn through other activities.

    Moreover, if own an Apple Watch as well, Google Fit will keep track of all your workout sessions too. Just don’t forget to check the app’s journal to see what you need to do to sleep better and get more active. You can download Google Fit for iOS right now via the App Store.

  • Estée Lauder Wants to Maximise Every Second of your Beauty Sleep

    Estée Lauder Wants to Maximise Every Second of your Beauty Sleep

    Join us as Estée Lauder celebrates its first ever Power of Night exclusive pop-up. Visit us from 23th to 24th March (11am to 8pm) to understand how modern life affects our skin and discover our iconic Advanced Night Repair serum maximises skin repair with every second of beauty sleep. Learn how a lack of sleep* and constant exposure to blue light** accelerates skin ageing, causes fine lines and a loss of firmness and pigmentation.

    As a leader in skin repair for over 35 years, Estée Lauder continuously studies the key factors behind visible skin ageing. Research shows that a lack of sleep not only affects our skin’s natural reparative process but also accelerates premature signs of skin ageing.

    Sleeping less than five hours every night increases the impact of stress on the body, resulting in a breakdown of collagen and elastin, causing it to be more susceptible to damage caused by environmental aggressors*.

    Modern life equals multiple skin assaults and the constant exposure to blue light, especially at night, disrupts the skin’s natural repair process and causes accelerated skin ageing**.

    It is no surprise then that a good night’s sleep is not only important to recharge the body but also helps keep skin youthful and healthy.
