Abstrakt: Sleep health has become an important healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that almost one-fifth of the Korean adult population does not have sufficient sleep. The lack of sleep is associated with significant medical, psychological, social, and economic issues. People are not only yearning for sufficient sleep but the quality of sleep as well. Usually, the obvious choice will be the use of pharmaceuticals however, these often have various side effects, and the lasting use of these medications could become a concern. Therefore, new non-drug alternatives are sought after. Audio brain entrainment is a procedure that modules neural activities by synchronizing brainwave frequency with pulse tones. By producing frequency tones for the deep sleep stage, it promotes a good night's sleep. In this paper, we developed a pillow integrated with the audio speakers that produce alpha and theta beats that should help improve sleep. Sleep polysomnography was performed on 10 people to compare the effects of the audio stimulus. Initial results showed a positive effect on sleep onset latency, indicating that sleep induction happened. This noninvasive stimulation technique can be a promising candidate for wearable bioelectronics medicine and further neuroscience research.
