NO! This a completely different - and more effective - experience than listening to music through a sound machine or traditional speaker. Dreampad music is developed specifically for sleep and the technology inside each Dreampad converts sound waves into resonant music that travels internally, signaling your nervous system to relax so you can ease into a great night's sleep.
Patented Pillow Speaker Technology
Replicating a Natural Process
Dreampad technology is based on the natural conductivity of the human body. Every time we speak we hear ourselves in two ways: externally and internally. Our voice carries through the airwaves and enters our outer ear; simultaneously, the vibration from our voice box is carried internally, by our bones (which are excellent conductors) to the inner ear.
Another benefit of our Dreampad products is they are JUST FOR YOU! Because of our patented technology, unlike traditional speakers, only you can hear the music and sounds, no more disturbing others in the room when you’re listening to audio sounds when you are relaxing and ready to fall asleep.
Dreampad products replicate this natural process by playing audio through transducers which convert the signal from an audio player into a type of vibration that travels through solid material (vs. through the airwaves as with speakers). The calming effect of Dreampad devices is a result of the vibrational sounds stimulating the vagus nerve, which in turn activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Our PNS helps us regulate stress – if we’re in a state of hyper-arousal, or elevated stress, the PNS is the part of our nervous system which brings us down to a calmer place where we can relax and fall asleep.
When you lay your head down, you receive a gentle vibration from soothing sounds and sleep music that activates a calming response within your nervous system. This results in a more effective, yet completely different experience for inducing natural, comfortable sleep compared to listening through speakers, sound machines or headphones. Research shows that Dreampad’s unique technology can reduce stress and anxiety, helping you get to sleep and stay asleep.

Supporting Research
Columbia University Medical Center
Columbia University’s peer-reviewed study involved adults with stress related sleep difficulties. The results demonstrated the Dreampad’s effectiveness in promoting a deeper sleep, resulting in fewer awakenings during the night for the study participants.
SleepScore Labs
SleepScore Labs’ study reported objective and personal data gathered over 800+ user nights of testing the Dreampad with adults having stress-related sleep difficulties. Conclusion Excerpt: ‘Objective sleep data for those with persistent problems falling asleep showed that Dreampad use resulted in more deep sleep and fewer awakenings.’92% of study participants said they would recommend the Dreampad to their family or close friends.
Sensory Institute Pediatric Study
STAR Institute’s published study measured the results of the Dreampad on children with sensory sensitivities. All children using the Dreampad showed a decrease in sleep problems and improvements in emotional, social and school functioning.
Common Questions
Is it just a pillow with speakers?
Can I listen to my own music?
Yes, you can listen to your own music. We will reiterate that the Dreampad is about restorative sleep. The technology inside the Dreampad is designed to produce resonant music that travels internally so you can get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. This is NOT for listening to podcasts or the latest Imagine Dragons album.
How do I play the music?
You can play Dreampad's specially-treated music via the free Dreampad app, available in your app store. You can connect your device via Bluetooth or directly to the Dreampad.
