> Even though the Muse S is billed as a ‘digital sleeping pill’, you wouldn’t want to swallow one. It’s a smart headband that aids meditation, and offers sleep tracking and some fancy neuroscience, which it claims will help you fall asleep more easily.
Once paired with your wireless headphones, the Muse S helps you relax via guided meditations and sleeppreparation exercises. That alone could help you get a more restful night’s sleep. But, beyond that, the band also tracks your brain activity using a built–in EEG. Not only does this give you a breakdown of how you slept when you wake up the next morning, but the device will detect restless periods during the night and automatically begin playing relaxing audio snippets to help guide you back to a restful period of sleep.
