Soothing Sleep<br />
Synchronized slumber with a robotic aid<br />
Launched at the<br />
beginning of this<br />
year, Somnox is the<br />
world’s first sleep<br />
robot. The device is<br />
configured to accelerate<br />
the process<br />
of falling asleep<br />
using an algorithm<br />
to stimulate human<br />
breathing. Users<br />
simply snuggle with<br />
the robot and, in<br />
turn, subconsciously<br />
synchronize their<br />
breathing with the<br />
same rhythm as the<br />
comfy, soft sleep<br />
aid. According to the<br />
company’s research,<br />
this should make it<br />
easier for sleepers<br />
to reach a meditative<br />
state of mind quicker.<br />
The product, which<br />
is designed to fit<br />
naturally against the<br />
chest, has music and<br />
calming sounds available<br />
as well as an an<br />
accompanying app<br />
for users to set the<br />
sounds and breathing<br />
exercises to their<br />
own preferences.<br />
