Dreamlight: The World’s Smart Sleep Mask

Dreamlight: The World’s Smartest Sleep Mask

---

Dreamlight’s smart sleep mask that is designed to help you sleep.The mask that uses light, sound, and genetics so you fall asleep faster and wake up with more energy.

It’ll push orange light onto your eyelids to make you sleepy, or green light to help you wake up. smart sleep mask 

The LED panels are for the sleep program, and will gently blast you with 15 minutes of orange light in order to stimulate melatonin production. After that point, you’ll be shut off from the outside world with the eye mask, which keeps you in a dreamlike state until you set a wake-up time.

When it’s time for the new day to begin, the mask will blast increasingly-light green hues toward your eyelids, which is more apparently invigorating than the traditional blue. In addition, the device can play a number of sounds, from white noise to your own music collection.

Of course, the presence of both the optical heart-rate monitor and the accelerometers and gyroscopes in the eyemask means that it can also track your sleep. Using the companion app, you can learn how long you rested the night before, and learn about the quality of your sleep.

The company has partnered with 23andMe and apparently can craft custom sleep profiles that are tailored to your genetic makeup. One such profile is “Da Vinci’s Sleep,” and should you have the requisite profile, the company claims you can train your brain to require less sleep and still be productive. In addition, Dreamlight will offer up a six-day jetlag plan to help you get over that special fatigue you feel when you’ve traveled across several time zones.

Battery-life wise, founder WIll Wu believes that the eye mask will last for up to four nights on a charge, depending on use. If you use the built-in headphones to stream music from your smartphone, for instance, then you can expect that figure to fall.

Dreamlight is preparing to launch on Indiegogo later this month, with prices expected to start at $100, although there’s no word on when shipments will begin.

How do you use it?

Simply put the mask on and your selected light and sound program begins. If you take the mask off, your program pauses.

Dreamlight’s top priority is helping you get better sleep, and making the Dreamlight as comfortable as possible is the core of this – that’s why it looks different from other sleep masks.

Most masks place pressure on the sensitive eyes and cheeks. Instead, Dreamlight’s design moves the pressure away from sensitive facial areas.

The Dreamlight’s unique wraparound design minimizes pressure on sleep-affecting areas of the face while remaining in place.

Dreamlight’s heart-rate monitor and gyroscope are used to create a uniquely robust sleep profile, which is displayed in Dreamlight’s cross-platform app.
By looking at your vital signs combined with levels of movement, Dreamlight provides personal insight to help you get the best rest possible.

The Dreamlight App

Sounds of Nature

Sound and sleep seem like odd bedfellows – but finding the right noises for when your sleeping can help you rest better than ever before.

That’s where Dreamlight’s four internal headphones come in. Via Dreamlight’s app, you can create custom soundscapes.

• Nature sounds (the sound of rain, for example) were shown to reduce stress and lower heart rates in a 2017 article published by Scientific Reports.
• White noise contains a wide frequency of sounds, helping mask environmental noise like loud neighbors or traffic.
• Light music has been scientifically shown to ready the body for sleep and improve quality of sleep.
• Binaural beats, or brainwave entertainment, are steady beats played at specific frequencies. Some report entering a peaceful state when listening to binaural beats.
• ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is a sound-induced tingling feeling that many find relaxing. The Dreamlight app contains dozens of ASMR stimulating options.

We understand everyone is different. By using the sliders inside of our app, you can create a combination of sounds that specifically work for you.

After rigorous testing, we have inserted four premium sounding speakers,  invisibly embedded inside the Dreamlight mask. This decision was made so that the speakers can be used at full quality, regardless of head size or ear positioning. Binaural audio gives the surround-sound effect of being present in a relaxing and natural environment, rhythmically drifting to sleep to the patter of light rainfall, laying in the quiet echo of a forest, or resting by a summer brook.

Infrared Beauty Treatment

Dreamlight’s infrared light treatment boosts blood circulation around the eyes while you sleep, improving the skin’s appearance and health.

Infrared light is already a widely-used beauty treatment, which may also heal skin damage, according to a 2014 study carried by the US National Library of Medicine.

Getting Ahead of Jet Lag

There’s no easy way around jet lag. But Dreamlight can help.
By entering the date and time of your next flight, Dreamlight’s cross-platform app creates a personalized sleep schedule that slowly adjusts you to your future time zone.

Paired with Dreamlight’s circadian rhythm regulating green lights, the Dreamlight mask will minimize jet lag by getting you on the right schedule ahead of time.

DNA-based Advice

Sleep and genetics are closely linked, with a 2011 Stanford University study finding “It is now clear that sleep is genetically controlled.”

By looking at your DNA we can recommend the best sleep schedule for you through the Dreamlight app, and transfer that sleep schedule into the mask.

The Dreamlight DNA perk will see your DNA tested so we can provide you with custom advice to help develop your best sleep schedule.

It’s as easy as sending a swab to trusted genetic companies like 23andMe, which has mapped the genetics of more than two million people from saliva samples sent through the mail.

Cleanable

The back panel of the Dreamlight mask is detachable, allowing for easy cleaning.

We’re Ready for Mass Production

Working from our fabrication lab allowed us to implement rapid, incremental prototyping — testing functionality and performance at every step.

This included button-life testing, ensuring the front panel is long lasting.

We also tested the product in temperature-humidity containers and thermal shock chambers, ensuring that the Dreamlight mask is being built to the highest quality.

Dreamlight received an incredible reception at CES by the president and CEO of CES, Gary Shapiro (pictured).

Risks & Challenges

An experienced team developed Dreamlight and will continue working on the project. We’re no strangers to manufacturing in China and the challenges involved.
While we recognize unforeseen events may pose a challenge, we have a proven record of creating products from design to sale.
We have multiple working models and received a favorable review from The Verge, but we need more time and funding to produce Dreamlight at scale. Once we hit our goal, manufacturing and delivery should face minimum challenges.
Shipment can at times be tricky: issues can arise with too much demand, delaying delivery. Border customs can also cause issues, possibly resulting in a few days delay. We will be transparent and provide updates if such issues arise.
