Morphée houses therapy sessions within a portable device in a stunningly designed warm beech wood shell. It uses a simple three-key system with no screens or digital interfaces to select the optimal sleep-inducing program. With the first key, users choose from one of eight themed sessions to aid sleep, such as breathing, cardiac coherence (slowing the heart rate), napping, visualisations, and nature sounds. With the second key, users can select one of eight training sessions per theme and finally the third key determines the length of each session - either eight or 20 minutes.  Morphée users can choose the voice of their audio guide, and whether they opt for a male or female voice, they are guaranteed a session of total relaxation that leads to a completely restful night's sleep that will leave them feeling refreshed and energetic. Each session aims to disconnect from the day, relax the body, and soothe the mind, all of which form the pillars of fast, relaxing, and restorative sleep. The rechargeable battery gives approximately one week's worth of daily listening to sessions, which can be heard via integrated speakers or personal headphones.  Available online at morphee.co.uk
