The 'BebeLucy' is a smart sleep-enhancing white noise machine currently in its crowdfunding phase from 'Emma Healthcare' on Kickstarter. This machine is more than a traditional white noise machine, as it boasts the ability to control its sound output, as well as the surrounding temperature, the humidity, and the amount of light that it emits. This effectively targets the four factors that most greatly impact people's ability to sleep well.
The sounds that the BebeLucy can output are not limited to white noise, as it features a large bank of soothing sounds, such as smooth music, soft tones, and environmental noises, each of which have been shown to induce sleep. Lastly, the BebeLucy doubles as a sleep-tracking device that monitors the amount of time spent asleep each night.
The BebeLucy can be preordered via the company's Kickstarter page for $179 USD.
