It's hard enough to get a good night's sleep these days, what with all the kinds of distractions around us. Connected devices don't actually put us to bed, but instead keep us up, and cause us sleep deprivation. But how about a device that does the opposite?

The Aurora headband, from iWinks, debuted on Kickstarter this month and has already raised double its goal and it it will track how you sleep. It will measure brain waves through a user's forehead to determine when REM sleep is attained and then uses both lights on the headband and audio from the user's smartphone to alert the user that she is dreaming.



The Aurora headband can be used on its own, without a device (although the audio cues are only available with a smartphone) and will sync with apps on desktop, iOS and Android.
