Notes to editors
About SleepHub™:
SleepHub™ is designed to help restore natural sleep cycles and improves wellbeing. It has four modes scientifically designed to act as a natural sleep aid by using rhythms and pulses to emulate brain waves produced during sleep.
The four modes guide the consumer through a series of sleep cycles to support them throughout the night and imitate the brain's natural sleep patterns. A variety of soundscapes complement each mode, enabling the brain to relax and find its natural sleep pattern. These sounds enable the brain to re-train and revert to those natural sleep cycles and help the consumer feel reinvigorated.
