An ambient device that sits on your nightstand and creates a soothing environment to help you fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed. 60 million people in the United States suffer from insomnia and have difficulty falling asleep, including myself. Most of us search for tips and tricks which will alleviate the anxiety. I came up with a nighttime routine which worked but was lengthy and required effort. The routine involves deep breathing exercises, listening to music and drinking chamomile tea (I find the aroma extremely soothing).

On most days, I come back home quite late and don’t have the energy or time to go through the routine and end up sleeping poorly. Slumber was the solution to my night anxiety problem, with Pillo as it's sidekick!  

Slumber and Pillo are 2 halves of an IoT ecosystem. Pillo acts as a sensor in your pillow or under your mattress which tracks your movement and relays information to Slumber about whether you are awake or asleep.
