A headband monitor which will lull you into a deep sleep

Aside from rapid-eye-movement, or REM, sleep, slow-wave sleep is the deepest state of unconsciousness we reach during a typical night of sleep. According to researchers, slow-wave sleep is crucial for memory formation. This hi-tech headband is designed to monitor our sleep cycle and allow us to maximize time spent in the slow-wave sleep stage by sending soft sound waves which act to induce a restorative and restful state.
