In Tom Brady's book The TB12 Method, he recommends what he calls "tech-enabled sleepwear". This is a new term for me and piqued my interest, we're always interested in fashion, especially if it helps us love and live longer.

What is this thing? PJ's with fibers impregnated with Far infrared radiation(FIR)-emitting ceramic nanoparticles. A NIH report outlined studies testing the use of Far infrared radiation(FIR) and found health benefits from using this clothing.

The principle is not new, it is similar to sauna treatment. FIR is just electromagnetic radiation, like light or radio waves, but we experience it only as heat. In the study one effect was generation of new blood vessels, and this technology was predicted in another book I am reading called Real Age. New routes for the blood could help us if we have clogging in the old routes. FIR has also been used for weight-loss by using belts impregnated with the FIR-emitting particles. It may also reduce production of lactic acid in muscles.

Tom Brady partnered with Under Armour to produce a product called Athletic Recovery Sleepwear. Here's a quote from their web site:

"The soft, bioceramic print on the inside of the sleepwear absorbes natural heat and reflects Far Infrared back to the skin, helping the body sleep better and recover faster."

There are, of course, various styles for men and women, and even sheets!
