The purpose of the sleep tracker is to allow the user to rest well by interfering with their sleep waves. The device targets shorts sleep waves allowing the person to wake up with less fatigue than they usually have without the tracker. The sleep tracker has sensors that collects and analyzes data while manipulating sleep waves for a better nights sleep .The sleep tracker connects to a mobile app through bluetooth connectivity, and responds to sleep waves that are emitted by the users brain.The sleep trackers starting cost is $399.99.
