> This is a hard-fact - people are resolved to poor sleep quality, or no "real" solutions to improving deep sleep quality

I glanced at your website, and there’s already a product on the market that does the same thing (headband using EEG techniques to provide auditory stimulation based on the same research your site points out): The Philips Smart Sleep https://www.usa.philips.com/c-e/smartsleep/deep-sleep-headba...

So in your case, I’m not sure it’s accurate to say there aren’t any “real” solutions when a major market player has already released a product in the exact space. I think it’s more likely that wearing a headband every night isn’t an attractive proposition for many. That’s an entirely different problem to solve.

Case in point, I personally cannot use wrist bands or any such accessory for sleeping as I sleep with my forehead on my wrists. Neither the wrist band nor the hand band are good options for me to use.

I wonder if there is something that can help someone who sleeps on their stomach not have to choose between crushing their nose or cramping their neck when they sleep...


Philips has not been available for years, and though there are many other EEG headbands, they are not focused on improving deep sleep. Though I agree, getting people to wear a headband is a difficult problem to solve as well.

iPhone was considered a future vision, but we had smartphones and even smartphones with apps previously, but at the bottom of the page, Sequoia points to the iPhone and Vision Pro as Future Vision examples.
