Under your pillow

Only you hear it.

Drowsie is slim and soft, and it goes under the pillow you already sleep on. The sound travels up through the pillow to your ear and stops there, so the other side of the bed hears nothing.

  • Nothing to wearNo earbuds, no band, nothing on your wrist.
  • Plays anythingRain, a story, a podcast, your own playlist.
  • Four nights a chargeOr more, on one USB-C charge.

Every kind of bed

Made for the bed you already sleep in.

Slide it under your pillow, press play on anything, and go to sleep. Couples, light sleepers, early risers, the partner who reads until midnight.

Every night

It runs the night, so you don’t have to.

Press play on anything. Once you drift off, Drowsie takes it from there: it fades when you settle, plays again as you start to wake, and learns which sounds settle you, night by night.

10:45 pm

This is my night with Drowsie.

I go to bed at and I'm up at

10:45 pm

I put it under my pillow.

Ultra-thin. The fabric sleeve is shaped to my pillow, so I can't feel it — and only I can hear it.

10:49 pm

I play a podcast, because that's what I like to fall asleep to.

It plays anything from my phone. Or I open the Drowsie app and pick rain.

11:00 pm

Then I drift off.

The sound fades out on its own, and I don't reach for anything.

2:14 am

At 2 am I start to wake. It notices.

Through the pillow. Nothing on me, nothing to press.

2:16 am

It plays again, softly. I settle.

I don't remember it in the morning. Night after night it learns which sound settles me, and changes it before it wears off.

2:30 am

The rest of the night is mine.

It pays attention so I don't have to, and plays what settled me last time.

6:50 am

It wakes me, softly.

A gentle chime under the pillow at the time I set. Only I hear it.

7:00 am

And I'm up.

Tonight could be your first night.

Make tonight the first one

A sound machine with a brain.

Like a white noise machine, it plays sounds. Like a sleep tracker, it reads your night — with nothing to wear. Like earbuds, only you hear it.The difference is DrOS, the brain inside. It learns which sounds get you to sleep, and decides what to play next.

Meet DrOS and the app

Every morning

Wake up to your night.

How much sleep you’ve banked, your breathing and heart rate, and which sounds settle you. Read through the pillow, with nothing to wear.

My husband hears nothing

Much more comfortable than earbuds

Doesn't interrupt my partner

★★★★★

Works really well for rain sounds

“Omg! My new best friend! I am 42 and not very phone savvy and thought it would be difficult to set up but it is so simple! Works really well for rain sounds. The sound is really clear. Recommended for those who like to fall asleep to sounds.”

Our story

Built by someone who couldn’t sleep.

“I did not want another tracker that hands you a chart in the morning. I wanted the thing under the pillow to use what it reads while you are still asleep, and actually do something about your sleep, automatically.”

MN · Founder, Drowsie

Drowsie has been made in Melbourne since 2020, and more than 10,000 have been sold since. This is the third one, and the first that learns which sounds settle you.

Questions

Quick answers.

What happens if I stop paying?

Drowsie is yours forever. It keeps playing anything over Bluetooth, from any app on any phone. Sleep Club is the part that learns, tracks and runs your nights.

Can I keep falling asleep to Spotify or YouTube?

Yes. Fall asleep to anything. Drowsie takes over once you’re out and runs the rest of the night.

Will my partner really not hear it?

The sound travels through the pillow to your ear and stops there.

I toss and turn. Will it stay put?

It stays flat under the pillow. Nothing is attached to you. The sound comes up through the pillow whichever way you sleep.

Do I need my phone next to me all night?

Keep it in the room. DrOS runs on your phone and talks to Drowsie over Bluetooth all night, so the phone needs to be nearby: on the nightstand or anywhere in the bedroom.

How long does the battery last?

Four or more nights on a charge. It charges with the USB-C cable in the box.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

60-night money-back guarantee: use it on at least 30 of your first 60 nights, and if it hasn’t earned its place under your pillow, we’ll refund you in full.
