Somnox Sleep Robot

Breathe better, sleep better. That’s the guarantee from the Somnox Sleep Robot, which uses a carbon dioxide sensor to detect a person’s breathing pattern and matches it to help the person fall asleep.

Based on how the person sleeps, those breathing patterns will change, said founder Julian Jagtenberg.

“You hug it during the night as if it would be a teddy bear, and then what happens is you feel a physical sensation of breathing,” he said, adding it’s meant to reduce stress and anxiety.

The pillow, shaped like a pill, also can play white noise sounds and guided meditations.

Sales launch in March. The product, which can be found at meetsomnox.com, will cost $599.
