    <abstract locale="en_US">With the rising attention towards improving the quality of life and mental health, sleep hygiene and sleep quality have recently been the main topics of numerous studies. Quality of sleep not only affects our physical status but also plays a pivotal role in our psychological and emotional states. Sleep deprivation can increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases along with the risk of impaired concentration and consequent road injury and accidents. As technology has become a main figure in our daily lives, technological advances have paid a great interest in improving the quality of sleep by enhancing the detection of sleep-related disorders and sleep abnormalities, particularly in the setting of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). Smartphone applications, portable wearable gadgets, and devices along with more sophisticated and precise algorithms are now endeavoring to help us improve our quality of sleep and subsequently our quality of life. Hence, this review aims to illustrate a vivid picture of recent advancements in smart homes and their related technologies for improving sleep quality.</abstract>
