The handy device that'll give you the mental boost you need to dump your vices.

We've all got our bad habits, whether you're digging through the freezer at midnight for an ice cream sandwich, can't kick the cigarettes, or have that nervous hair-pulling fidget when giving a big presentation. And while you might have reminded yourself time and time again to stop, sometimes willpower alone just isn't enough to kick a physical habit. Think you're ready to try something a little more unorthodox (but totally effective)? And no, we're not talking hypnosis. Check out this Pavlok Electro Wristband, a convenient little wearable that'll have you dumping your bad habits for good. 

Named after, yep, Pavlov's dog, the Pavlok Electro Wristband goes beyond the subtle behavioral changes with some self-imposed tough love training. Every time you engage in that tic you're trying to change, you can tap the lightning bolt on the wearable to send a light shock through your wrist. Or, you can use the accompanying zap button on your app. You can also set up automated shocks or integrate the wristband fully with your preferred web browser, IFTT, other apps and even your Fitbit.

Not so much into being shocked? You can also program the Pavlok Electro Wristband to vibrate or beep, too — it's classic conditioning, all set up to help you defeat those hard-to-beat habits. So what are some of those bad habits you could break?

Oversleeping

Tend to hit snooze when trying to wake up in the morning? Well, with this wristband, each time you hit snooze, you can buzz yourself to train your mind that you shouldn't be snoozing at all.

Snacking even when you're not hungry

Bored eater? A little zap will help you assess whether you really need that snack or not. 

Drinking too much alcohol 

Stop yourself from indulging in that extra glass of wine with a beep from your band. 

Smoking cigarettes 

Smoking cigarettes is one of the hardest physical fixations to break — luckily, it takes quite a few steps to actually smoke one, and you can easily give yourself a zap before you end up with one in your mouth.

Slouching 

All that yoga not helping you with straightening out your spine? See if the Pavlok Electro wristband can help. 

Nail biting, cracking joints and playing with your hair

And you know, anything else that falls under the general category of "fidgeting". Give it, your jiggling foot and your cubicle-mate a break with this wristband.
