Cheero's Sleepion Puts You To Sleep - CES 2016

Cheero’s Sleepion is presented at CES 2016 as a multi-sensory sleep aid that combines aroma, sound, and ambient lighting to help users reach deep REM sleep. The aroma system uses a ceramic ring with precise perforations, where one drop of essential oil (geranium, lavender, or hinoki) seeps into the material and is released through vibration rather than heat, creating a gentler, more gradual scent delivery. The device offers 16 built-in sounds ranging from crashing waves to calm lakes, with an option to use an auxiliary input to play user-supplied white noise, giving users control over their acoustic environment. A back-mounted Moonlight feature provides a soft arcing glow that can be set to pulse, intended to mimic moonlight and help relaxation without overpowering the room. Power options include a rechargeable battery and a micro-USB connection, and the unit is clearly not pitched as a portable Bluetooth speaker, but rather as a bedside sleep aid that can be placed in various locations. Linus explains that the trio of aroma, sound, and lighting is designed to support deep sleep stages and tissue repair, while acknowledging practical use cases such as long nights of trying to fall asleep and the potential for standout battery life. The presenter also notes that manufacturing is already underway, with Kickstarter framed as market testing rather than a funding necessity, and invites viewers to explore Squarespace-made CES content and potential oils or sleep-related practices to pair with Sleepion.
