Dodow Sleep Machine
The Dodow is a metronomelight designed to break the thought patterns of an overactive mind and ease you into a deep and peacefull sleep. This is especially for those who can’t switch off quickly before bed or after waking up halfway through the night. It is a small disc that sits on the bedside table and emits a 8-20 second rhythmically flashing mesmerising light, supposed to slow your breathing rate down to 6bpm and give you more control over your breathing, allowing your mind to quieten and fall asleep.
