sleep collected.

In the 1930s, scientists discovered that while asleep, the brain emits various patterns of electrical waves detectable on the surface of the skin. Each sleep stage contains unique characteristics: lighter sleep has smaller, active waves while deeper sleep has larger, slower waves, and REM contains eye movements.

Traditionally, the only way to measure sleep stages was to be fastened to a series of metal disc electrodes on the scalp using glue, tape or paste. Each electrode is individually wired to a computer that records waveforms for analysis. These complex waveforms required a specialist to visually interpret them in a painstaking, time-intensive process. Advances in mathematics and computer science now allow us to interpret these signals in real-time. Axon Labs has developed soft sensor wave technology (SSWT), a no-mess, breathable and comfortable wireless sensor. Highly effective, the proprietary SSWT is a core feature embedded within the SleepSmart headband.

Strengths of SSWT:

• Monitors sleep stages accurately
• Breathable, hypoallergenic, hand washable
• No paste, jelly, liquid required
• Simple to put on and comfortable to wear
• Completely wireless and safe
