A device to help users fall asleep using calming breathing training.
- Creates a pattern of light that you match your breathing to
- Breathing rate is decreased during coaching session, so this helps ease you into sleep faster
- The maximum brightness can be adjusted on-the-fly
- 4 built-in profiles
- The initial breath length, final breath length, and session duration are adjustable for all 4 profiles
- Profile modifications are saved to the device's non-volatile memory
- One-button/knob operation
- Set up the Sleep Sensei on a night stand or table next to your bed.
- Turn on the sleep coach and adjust its angle to either shine in your eyes or on a wall or ceiling.
- Chose a profile and start a sleep coaching session
- Follow the pattern of light with your breathing (brighter = inhale, dimmer = exhale)
- Fall asleep faster!
The Sleep Sensei is on Kickstarter!
I have been conducting a study to collect data on the Sleep Coach to see if it actually helps users fall asleep.
