Moona, the temperature-controlled pillow
Aura, the wake-up light and sound system
The Withings Aura combines sleep tracking — analysing sleep-related data such as movement, heart rate and breathing — with a sunrise wake-up light that doesn’t emit any waves during the night. The device wakes sleepers progressively during periods of lighter sleep. The product, which sells for US$189.95 (RM850), also features several relaxation programs.
Anti-Snore, for a peaceful night
Created in the Netherlands, the Anti-Snore Wearable is a connected armband designed to give snorers a gentle prod. The band is worn around the upper arm and connects to a smartphone over Bluetooth. It then vibrates when the wearer snores or grinds their teeth, inciting the sleeper to change position (which can be the cause of snoring). The gadget can even help users track habits known to make snoring worse, such as smoking, alcohol and medication use. Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, the device can be bought for €69 (RM325) and is expected to go on sale in June 2017.
Rémi, the smart alarm clock for kids
This brightly coloured light-up alarm clock for kids, called Rémi, has several functions. As well as serving as a nightlight, it plays lullabies and can be used as a baby monitor, a walkie-talkie, an MP3 player capable of storing 300 songs and stories, and a speaker. Plus, a programmable timer function shows children when it’s time to go to bed and when it’s time to get up, using lights, alerts, music and more. A sleep tracker mode is also on hand to monitor night-time waking. Developed by French startup and previous CES Innovation Award winner UrbanHello, the clock is available to pre-order from Indiegogo priced US$69 (RM310).
Sensorwake, for a rousing morning aroma
Instead of using light, birdsong or other sounds, the Sensorwake wakes sleepers by filling the room with the smell of freshly grilled toast or fresh sea air, for example. Sensorwake was developed by two young business partners in Nantes, France. Heavy sleepers can rest assured that an audio alarm goes off after two minutes if the smell isn’t enough to rouse users from their slumber. The clock sells for US$109 (RM490) and odour capsules (seaside, espresso, croissant, chocolate, grass, toast, peppermint) cost US$5.45 (RM24.50) each. — AFP Relaxnews
