Zeeq smart pillow: Stops your snoring & wakes you up too

Sleep tracking is not as simple as one would like to believe. Not many people prefer taking their phones and smartwatches to bed while sleeping. So, what exactly to do to know your sleeping patterns. Simple, get the ZEEQ smart pillow for yourself.

As the name suggest, Zeeq is a smart pillow and does more than just offering a soft, cushioned resting place for your head. It can track your motion and the volume of your snoring, calculating a "SleepScore" to indicate the overall quality of your rest, play music to you while you’re lying on it, prod you to stop snoring and wake you up intelligently (meaning that it won’t wake you up while you’re deep in REM sleep).

I still don’t know whether to address it as some kind of device or a new technology. Anyways, the pillow works with a built-in microphone that will listen to your snoring, and if it detects that you are snoring, it will vibrate gently to encourage you to change positions without actually waking you up. The pillow will pair with your smartphone and an accompanying app, meaning that when you wake up you can check your “stats” via the app.

Just in case you want to try how comfy or how efficient the technology is, you can hit its Kickstarter page. Zeeq's Kickstarter starts at $99 for early bird backers, down from the eventual retail price of $299.
