Amazon said the device tracks your sleep patterns with no-contact sensors via your respiration, and measures your room's temperature, humidity, and light levels to give input into how to optimize your sleep.
The device is smart enough to only track your sleep patterns, even if a partner or furry friend is sleeping in the same bed.
The Halo Rise also features a wake-up light that aims to resemble natural sunlight, making it what's known as a sunrise alarm clock, and aims to wake you up at the lightest point of your sleep cycle so that you can rise at the best time according to your biology.
The Halo Rise can be paired with your Alexa devices to automatically begin your nighttime routine as soon as you get into bed.
