“Of all the tech here, the Zeez Sleep Pebble, a neuroscientific response to our permanently wired state, seems the most revolutionary … The Zeez is a seriously impressive piece of kit.”
The Zeez Sleep Pebble is a sleep device like no other.
Trackers of many different kinds now show us how hard we find it to fall asleep, how often we wake in the night, how light our slumber. But there isn’t much available to actively help our sleep quality so that we sleep more deeply, wake less, and feel good when we wake up.
Put the Zeez Sleep Pebble under your pillow, then let it guide you to fall asleep, stay asleep, and sleep deeply so that you wake up feeling rested and ready for the day. No headband, no sticky pads, no noise or vibration. And no links to your computer or smartphone. You won't need a tracker to know that you have slept better. One button. Pure simplicity.
How does the Zeez Sleep Pebble achieve what nothing else does? By pulsing tiny signals at the same frequencies as the electric pulses generated by the brain during good sleep in a pattern that changes with your nightly sleep cycles. The Zeez Sleep Pebble is simple to use, but its patented electronics and programming are sophisticated. For most of us, the Zeez Sleep Pebble works wonderfully. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been sleeping poorly, how old we are, or what else we have going on. In our tests, around 80% experience dramatically better sleep.
How does it work?
When we sleep well, we activate areas of the brain that generate very slow frequencies. A poor sleeper does not do this, or at least, not for long enough. His or her brain activity is dominated by faster signals associated with wakefulness and light sleep. The Zeez Sleep Pebble is designed to prompt missing activity. We found that if you can’t relax, or find it hard to switch off, you’ll be missing certain alpha frequencies in the range of 8-12 Hz. If you can’t fall asleep, you’ll be missing theta frequencies (4- 8 Hz) and if you sleep too lightly you’ll be missing delta frequencies (0.5 – 4Hz).
Most importantly, we found that by pulsing out the missing frequencies at appropriate times of the night in accordance with the timing of our nightly sleep cycles most of us fall asleep, stay asleep, and sleep deeply. We do this using a sophisticated microprocessor and patented circuit board designed to create tiny pulses with varying frequencies similar to those of the brain.
The pulses of the Zeez Sleep Pebble match the speed, duration and form of the natural brainwaves of a good sleeper through relaxation and deep, restorative sleep.
Kickstarter
It took a lot of work to identify precisely and reproduce the frequencies associated with good sleep. We tested prototypes for years, with hundreds of people. It was hard to get samples back. Eventually, confronted with “you’d have to prise it out of my cold dead hand”, we realised that we had to sell the Zeez Sleep Pebble, albeit a beta version. Our current Zeez Sleep Pebble has perfect electronics and programming, and a 3D printed case. It's fatter than we'd like, with a stiff button, and a long connector. We want it perfect in every way. so we are crowd funding early in 2019 to enable us to make the ultimate sleep device. Whilst we about it, we are adding in a napping function.
If you sleep poorly now, you may not want to wait for the most beautiful sleep device ever. Buy our beta device, now. If looks, or naps, are important to you, sign up for our Kickstarter newsletter here or at the bottom of any page on this website. You'll have to wait (delivery Summer 2019) but will pay less and get the best looking device we can create.

FRESHBED, luxury bed manufacturer.
FreshBed is our partner for the Zeez Sleep Pebble for the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, and for hotels across Europe (other than the UK) and South East Asia. FreshBed make beds with adjustable temperature control for enhanced sleep quality. Uncomfortable temperature and anxiety are the two main causes of poor sleep. FreshBed and Zeez together is a wonderful combination.
