I let my bedside lamp track my sleep for 3 weeks — and it's the next frontier of sleep tech

The Sleepal AI Lamp is a multifunctional sleep tracker that costs $399. This device combines the functions of a contactless sleep monitor, sunrise alarm clock, white noise machine, bedside lamp, temperature tracker, and snore detector. After testing it for three weeks, I found that the Sleepal AI Lamp offers a comprehensive sleep tracking experience.

It accurately detects sleep duration, positioning, snoring, and regularity, which is comparable to other high-end sleep trackers. However, the finer sleep stage details could be improved. Despite the absence of charging, the lamp is still convenient and accurate for an overall sleep assessment. Additionally, the AI Lamp monitors temperature, sound, and light to help identify environmental factors that may be disrupting your sleep.

As a sunrise alarm clock, the Sleepal AI Lamp delivers a natural and gentle wake-up experience, eliminating the need for shockingly loud phone alarms. The lamp also features wind-down routines, which gradually dim the lights and play soothing sounds as you prepare for bed. However, the wind-down function may not be as beneficial for everyone, as it can create a sense of impending sleep.

The Sleepal AI Lamp is available worldwide and includes a free month of Sleepal AI+, a premium AI service offering detailed sleep reports, AI coaching, and additional wind-down content. After the first month, Sleepal AI+ is priced at $5.99 per month, or $69.99 for a year. Compared to other sleep trackers and smart lamps on the market, the Sleepal AI Lamp is a premium option, but it provides a wide range of features in one convenient package.
