To play music, use smartphones, select sleep mode from the dedicated application as "sleeping" "only one cycle" "light nap" "deep nap" from four. Then just set the wake-up time and tap the play button. The application is planned to be offered for iOS and Android, and cooperation with iOS healthcare application is also under planning.

The head band has a sensor to measure brain waves. It is a mechanism that measures optimum music by measuring the depth of sleep.
