The company is coming off an impressive year of significant growth, including a 150% year-on-year increase in revenue. Now Somnox announces a US launch of their science-based sleep technology. The company is known for developing the world's first-ever sleep robot. This innovation improves the quality of rest, thanks to built-in smart sensors that detect the user's breathing frequency and then adjust accordingly. The sleep and breathing robot then gradually slows the rhythm of breathing, the user adopts this (unconsciously) and thus comes to rest, sleeping faster, deeper and longer. In addition to promoting a good night's sleep, the device can also alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety

Multipurpose

The special and innovative Somnox Sense Breathing™ technology guides the breath using a pneumatic system with an air bladder, which inflates and deflates again to simulate the natural in,- out breathing rhythm.

Founder Julian: ''Sleep is a complex activity, so it's not surprising that external aids like the thousands of pillows and weighted blankets on the market haven't done much to reverse the growing sleep epidemic. We wanted to bring to the market a safe, comfortable and science-based sleep aid that improves sleep naturally. This through the power of breath and its impact on the autonomic nervous system. User research shows that Somnox helps people fall asleep faster, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, and improve energy levels the next day."

The sleep and breathing robot is multifunctional and can be incorporated into different parts of the day's ritual. Some use Somnox 15 minutes before bed to help calm the body and mind, while others take Somnox to bed at night to fall asleep together. However, the nighttime companion can also be used as part of your daily routine during a meditation or on the couch for extra relaxation during an evening of Netflix.
