Before we await at the Dreem headband, I'll just say that this is something I'chiliad rather invested in because I myself struggle to fall asleep. Studies bear witness, and I've been practicing it myself, that your encephalon operates at certain depression wavelengths during the sleep cycle, and it can be tricked into falling asleep with audio at those wavelengths. However, since audio tin't be heard by us at those wavelengths, nosotros use tricks like Brain Entrainment sound to hack the encephalon into operating at a particular frequency. (Practice have a await at Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones, they're an accented treasure trove of crazy techniques that are said to work only the results are debatable).

The Dreem employs a like technique, but rather than relying on audio, it just relays the vibrations via speakers, directly into your skull, right to a higher place the prefrontal cortex of your brain. Envisioned by startup Rythm (who debuted an early prototype last year), the company chosen on Fuseproject to assist design the terminal product. The claiming was to not just design the product in a way that allowed the sensors, EEG, and speakers to sit at strategic locations, simply to besides make a headband that someone could wear while sleeping for an average of 8 hours without lament most discomfort. After various prototypes (including 1 that looked like conflicting tentacles wrapped effectually your head), the team zeroed down on what nosotros're looking at today. After rigorous testing (fifty-fifty involving Yves Behar wearing the headband for vii nights in a row), the electronics were strategically placed right above the forehead, a zone that almost ever stays exposed and therefore never has to come up in contact with things like pillows, or headboards. The design was wrapped in soft foam and a plush textile making it feel rather comfortable, and was designed with elastic bands that not only provide a swell grip, merely also allow to allow one Dreem headband fit all head sizes. Once worn, the Dreem analyzes brain patterns using the EEG and works towards providing you with faster and a better deep sleep.

The Dreem is all set to debut at the cease of this year, and will retail for a rather hefty price of $499… just I guess yous tin can't actually put a price tag on a good night'due south slumber, can you?
