At least habitually you gotta figure. I had a roommate who could only sleep while his broken fan was going and it would go “click click click click click” you have to imagine that at some point it broke.

Just lie on the side, close your eyes and don’t think too much. There, you’ve just saved $350.

Pink noise is similar to White noise and those have already being used by professional Sleep Specialists to help people who work night shifts, have Jet Lag, or even insomnia to fall asleep. The brainwave monitoring is likely measuring your sleep cycle and how much sound to produce. If you’re already in a deep sleep state, it can remove all sound all together. I also wonder if it has an app to track sleep cycle as well. I know that apps usually means a subscription fee. But you need engineers to develop it and add features over time, and the cost to host the servers in the cloud. Software engineers can easily make over 100,000 a year and even a small startup tech company would need a small team of them. They can’t possibly offset the costs with the cost of the device that is likely a niche market.
