Live on Kickstarter - Moona is on a mission to help millions of people get better sleep. We are launching the first non-intrusive product that improves sleep thanks to thermotherapy. It understands your sleep patterns and regulates the perfect head-temperature - enabling you to fall asleep, sleep deeper and wake up more refreshed!

Hello, Awesome project. Sounds super interesting. Just a little question : How do you detect sleep? Thank you!

Hi @julien_gusman, thanks for the question, Moona uses a tiny accelerometer placed on the pillow pad in order to measure the movements directly on the surface of your pillow. This is a great non-intrusive solution. Signal processing and machine learning algorithms will detect your sleep/wake pattern and will determine your sleep quality by measuring your activity at night. We are also asking feedback in the app to get your qualitative sleep assessment. Cheers, Coline

Hello @coline__juin Interesting! So Moona team has data related to the time needed to fall asleep I guess? How much do you improve this phase compared to pillow alone? Thanks

Hey Product Hunt, thanks so much @matthieudeluze for hunting us! I'm Coline Juin, co-founder and CEO of Moona. Body temperature is a key parameter of sleep quality. Based on sleep research, Moona leverages temperature to enhance your sleep, helping you fall asleep faster, get more deep sleep and wake up refreshed. Moona is made of a thin pilow pad that goes inside the pillowcase and whose temperature is precisely regulated to optimize your sleep. Why? To fall asleep, our body temperature needs to decrease (-1°C). And cooler temperatures help get more deep sleep. Acting directly on the head and neck can help prevent your sleep from being disrupted by the heat that gets trapped in your pillow and moves you out Moona: - Tracks your sleep with a sleep sensor, and your sleeping environment with temperature, humidity and light intensity sensors - Regulates the temperature of your pillow all night, through a thin and comfortable membrane inside your pillowcase - Wakes you up progressively with temperature in the morning, heating or cooling the pillow, sending signals to your body that it's time to wake up - Learns over time what temperature profile works best for each user with a machine learning algorithm - Gives you insight about your sleep every morning through an app and customized sleep tips We are live on KICKSTARTER https://goo.gl/BHFTDN with a Product Hunt special pledge level (select ""PH Special"" on the page). Please ask us anything!

Looks great. Can you set it up to wake you up on a certain time? If so, do you track sleep stages? As I understand it's much harder to wake up during REM than say light sleep.

@ysehwail Thanks for your question! You can set up your alarm inside the app. 20mins before the alarm time, Moona starts warming up smoothly. This sends signal to your body that it is time to wake up, triggers a natural wake up - way better than a noisy alarm clock, our testers love it - and help you be productive quickly. We do not need to track sleep stages as we are actually helping you wake up at the time you’ve set with your alarm time, only more progressively than with a noisy alarm, helping you feel better in the morning. For those who would rather wake up with cooler temperatures (on a hot summer morning), you can choose a cool wake-up instead. You can see a demo of the app at the bottom of the Kickstarter page.

Have been an early tester and really liked the feel of it! I'm curious if you got new results / signs of sleep improvements on the long term @davidstoiko @coline__juin ? GL for the KS :))

@pierrebascoul thanks for the question and thanks again for being part of our early community of testers! Since you last tested our product, we’ve made over 250 user tests in which we’ve collected data about the design, comfort and improvements on our testers’ sleep. Among those who have tested the product at least one whole night, over 80% report falling asleep faster and feeling better when waking up. We integrated other measurements in a sleep study we’ve conducted with a University Hospital Center, all of which are data collected on 13 nights per subject. We will have those preliminary results soon and are continuing our efforts to broaden our user test base to people with night shifts and diverse sleep issues. Our long-term goals based on those preliminary results are to reduce average time to fall asleep by 60% and increase time in deep sleep by 15%. We will keep all of our supporters updated on our advancements in the coming months.
