Therapeutic sleep rocking dates back to ancient times. Sleep rocking technology is already used to promote better sleep in babies.

Research shows that sleep rocking is beneficial for people of all ages, and may even help maintain balance as we age. Empirical data supports the hypothesis that therapeutic sleep rocking improves quality of sleep and can even influence our dreams. 

MotionBed Inc. has developed a rocking bed prototype, with the goal of bringing therapeutic sleep rocking to Canadians. We plan to integrate this product into our smart sleep tech, such as DreamDirector.AI and RBDcalm.AI, to help customers sleep better, dream better.

Revonsuo (2000) theorized that dreams evolved as a way to simulate life threatening   situations, and practice the skills needed for survival. And, the end result is we all have anxiety dreams.  While threat simulation via dreaming is still adaptive in some circumstances, dreaming has largely become an anxiety-inducing experience for many, with little to no benefit in real life. 

Research has shown us that our dreams can be influenced by external sensory cues. During REM sleep, when dreaming takes place, researchers have successfully used lights, sounds, and motion to increase awareness in a dream. This creates a means to bias dream content towards a desired experience. Increased awareness within a dream can promote lucidity and well-being. 

MotionBed Inc. is developing patent-pending dream directing technology, namely DreamDirector.AI, that detects REM sleep and plays back user selected cues. Built on Apple Watch and iPhone, this technology promises to change the way we all dream.
