I’ve never been a fan of sleep wearables. The last thing I want is a gadget in my ear, a ring that feels obtrusive, or a watch constantly beeping alerts. Above all, these devices tend to be uncomfortable and exorbitantly expensive. While comfort can vary based on the device’s design, material, fit, and individual sensitivity, most of these gadgets end up costing an arm and a leg. This is where Dreamie Sleep Assistant, a sleek bedside gadget from Ambient, enters the frame.
The $269 sleep assistant, currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, promises a wearable-free path to better sleep. As per Adrian Canoso, Co-founder and CEO of Ambient, “A phone-free experience is step one. The real bar is replacing the phone’s bedside utility with something people prefer at night, a 100 percent sleep-focused experience with one-touch routines, precise physical controls, and calming light and sound, so we can doomscroll less and sleep more.”
Design-wise, Dreamie is a compact hub designed to sit unobtrusively on your nightstand. It offers multiple functionalities, including those of an alarm clock, sound machine, and sleep analyst. The device features a flicker-free touchscreen, which dims to an almost imperceptible glow to avoid jolting you awake with harsh light. At bedtime, it shifts to a soothing red hue for the time display, sidestepping the blue-light blues that keep melatonin at bay.
Encircling the screen is an RGB light strip that bathes your space in customizable colors, gradually fading to black like a digital sunset to signal your brain it’s time to unplug. As pointed out by Notebook Check, the area surrounding the display functions as a volume control dial, while swiping across the top lets you adjust the lighting brightness. T3 explains this subtly, stating that the device monitors sound patterns along with light, temperature, and humidity to determine whether your environment is supporting or disrupting your rest.
In addition to basic features, the Dreamie also offers Bluetooth connectivity that lets you stream podcasts or lullabies straight to your headphones. Dreamie also lets you set different alarm times for every day of the week, which is perfect for those whose sleeping patterns vary between workdays and weekends.

“The full sleep-tracking suite, however, won’t roll out until a software update in early 2026,” the company informs, leaving early adopters to start with the basics while Ambient fine-tunes the magic. As aforementioned, the Dreamie is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter where backers can snag the Super Early Bird deal at $269, which is a steal compared to the projected $349 retail price.
