Most people can relate to the frustration of a bad night’s sleep — waking up groggy, wishing you could stay in bed for another hour…or three. Sadly, busy schedules often keep us from hitting the snooze button for too long.

Massachusetts-based company Cambridge Sound Management (CSM) wants to end this cycle with Nightingale.

A $149 sleep system for folks living in the United States, Nightingale promises to cancel out irritating ambient noises with its apparently pleasant, sleep-inducing ambient noises.

Nightingale is a plug-in device that connects to existing power outlets in your bedroom. It has two pass-though outlets so you can still use them to power lamps and other electrical devices. Why not just buy a regular white noise machine, you ask?

CSM says its solution is more immersive, as each box includes two Nightingale units. The idea is that you’ll install them on opposite walls for improved noise canceling.

Designed by acoustics experts, this Wi-Fi- and app-enabled device is also outfitted with a speaker that’s supposed to project any one of CSM’s 15 “ambient sound blankets.” Use the Android or iOS app to adjust the volume and type of sound.

Smarten up your sleep routine with Sleep Number’s connected mattress

The new it mattress from Sleep Number is packed with sensors that track your patterns in hopes of giving you a better night’s sleep.

From the Hello Sense adaptive sleep alarm to Sleep Number’s latest connected mattress, we’ve written about a variety of sleep-related smart-home products. But we haven’t seen anything quite like Nightingale before. In addition to its basic features, CSM’s sleep device is also outfitted with a color-changing LED nightlight and it’s supposed to work with IFTTT. With a Nightingale IFTTT channel, you should be able to connect it to your Ring Video Doorbell, Philips Hue LEDs, Amazon Alexa products, Nest products and more.

Nightingale is in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign right now. With 30 days to go, the team had raised just about $14,000 of its $100,000 funding goal. You have to pledge at least $149 to snag a Nightingale two-pack and units are expected to ship to backers in February 2017 (this product is US-only).
