What is the Muse sleep aid and how does it work?

Muse is a brain-sensing headband used as a sleep aid that employs biofeedback technology to help individuals improve their sleeping patterns. It is designed to guide users into a relaxed state, which can facilitate faster onset of sleep and improved sleep quality. The device works by monitoring the user's brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and body movements during sleep. By collecting this data, Muse provides insights through an accompanying app about the user’s sleep stages and offers personalized sleep soundscapes that react to their real-time biometrics, aiming to enhance relaxation and promote restorative sleep. Additionally, it aids in teaching meditation and mindfulness practices that can further reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to better overall sleep hygiene.
