【Bengali Archives】

Every night,Bengali Archives I go to bed after popping a melatonin gummy and blasting the "Baby Sleep Aid: Rain Sounds" playlist on Spotify.

But the Muse S has me rethinking my entire routine.

The company debuted its latest meditation wearable at this year's CES. And this time, it's a lot more comfortable than its previous versions.

At $349.99, the Muse S packs an accelerometer, an EEG, a gyroscope, and a heart rate monitor. At 10 hours, it also has double the battery life of both headbands that came before it.

For those unfamiliar with Muse, all of its headbands come equipped with sensors for guided meditations with real-time feedback depending on your movement, breathing, heart rate, and mental activity.

But unlike its predecessors, the Muse and the Muse 2, the latest iteration is made of a soft fabric that wraps entirely around your head. It basically looks and feels more like a sweat band you'd wear during a workout. (Thankfully, there is zero physical exercise required while wearing this thing.)

It's extra cozy because it's designed to be worn in bed. But those of you who have only just started seeing your significant other might want to hold off before introducing this thing in the bedroom. I couldn't help but think how great it'd look with my retainer, though.

Anyways. Muse found that a lot of its users would meditate using one of the original headsets before going to sleep, but by the time their heads hit the pillow, the zen vibes were gone.

But with the Muse S, you can doze off into a dreamy wonderland filled with rainbows and unicorns and sweet, sweet lullabies. No more uncomfortable plastic crushing under the weight of your skull to keep you up.

Drifting off post meditation isn't the onlyreason behind the redesign. Its flexibility also means it can fit a wider variety of head sizes.

The Muse S also comes with content exclusive to the wearable called "Go-to-Sleep Journeys." Don't worry, it won't sound anything like Bethenny Frankel on that one episode of The RealHousewives of New York City. But we can all agree that'd be pretty entertaining.

A first for Muse, the sessions combine voice-guided meditation and soundscapes to help put you into a relaxing mindset for a deep and refreshing sleep.

You know, rather than squeezing your eyes shut while also thinking about all the things you have to get done at work the next day or whether your crush is going to text you back or that you still have to go grocery shopping and, well, OK I'll stop now.

While at a demo in New York City, I had trouble calibrating the headband, apparently because my hair is too thick. I technically didn't get the full experience, and people with thick hair may want to keep that in mind before purchasing.

But the company did play a demo out loud for us. Essentially, the session consisted of a soothing voice coupled with waves playing in the background. Meanwhile, you're prompted to control your heart rate and breathing — hopefully easing you into a peaceful state.

The Mashable team is currently testing the headbands out while at CES. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to get it to work for me.
