“This is the first step in our mission to deliver precision sleep medicine at scale. With the US launch of our FDA-registered medical device, we've taken our place at the forefront of sleep healthcare,” explains Vik Panda, Dreem's Managing Director for North America. “Poor sleep has a tremendous impact on productivity, stress, absenteeism and overall mental health, not to mention the link between poor sleep and a long list of chronic diseases. Our first-of-its-kind solution helps individuals take control of their sleep, thereby improving their overall health.”

According to sleep experts, 30% of the U.S. population suffers from problems falling asleep and maintaining sleep, and for 10% of these people these problems are persistent and long-term. These sleep problems not only lead to loss of productivity, concentration or memory but can also be closely linked to serious physical and mental health issues. However, there are only a few treatments available to address this issue. Hypnotics, or sleeping pills has health risks and they only provide short-term, superficial relief, the company said in a press release.
