DETAILED SLEEP MEASUREMENT HAS TRADITIONALLY MEANT A NIGHT IN A SLEEP LAB, WITH ELECTRODES ATTACHED TO THE HEAD AND CABLES RUNNING TO MONITORING EQUIPMENT. DREEM BROUGHT THAT LEVEL OF MEASUREMENT INTO A SOFT, AUTONOMOUS HEADBAND, READING BRAIN ACTIVITY THROUGH DRY EEG SENSORS AND RESPONDING TO DEEP SLEEP WITH PRECISE PULSES OF PINK NOISE.
THE DESIGN WAS REDUCED AROUND THE BODY. EXTENSIVE ERGONOMIC STUDIES AND HANDMADE MOCKUPS HELPED REDUCE THE SIZE AND REPLACE THE RIGID STRUCTURE WITH FABRIC, FOAM AND SILICONE, MAKING THE SYSTEM COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO DISAPPEAR INTO A NIGHT'S SLEEP.
