Integrity
Our mission is to develop technology solutions to address sleep problems that are both effective and comfortable. By prioritizing user comfort and satisfaction, we seek to create solutions that can help people improve their sleep quality in a sustainable and long-lasting way.

We pursue this goal through innovative approaches, hard work, and an unwavering focus on the technical details, while keeping in mind the delicate nature of restful and restorative sleep. Addressing sleep problems is a complex and challenging task that requires a deep commitment to developing quality products, rather than relying on marketing hype and unwarranted claims. Sleep is too important and nobody should compromise your sleep and well being just to target larger profits.
Continuous Learning and Improvement
Sleep is a new frontier in western medicine. Due to the black box nature of the brain, science has only been able to get simple electroencephalograms (EEG’s) of the brain as it sleeps. Finding scientific answers on how sleep affects our cognitive abilities, memories, moods, brain and organ health, and general well being is just getting started. We recognize advances in sleep medicine takes continuous industry learning and technological improvement. A large portion of our time has been and will continue to be spent reviewing the latest medical publications and engaging with the medical community.
Resilience
The largest factors to completing goals are grit and resilience when the challenges push back. SleepDev is led by a team of experienced and driven founders who have successfully executed multimillion-dollar projects with ambitious goals. With a persistent and tenacious spirit, we are committed to overcoming the challenges inherent in developing effective solutions for sleep problems. Our goal is to continue producing innovative solutions that can help people overcome their sleep challenges and improve their overall well-being.
