WHAT IS CES? 

The Consumer Electronics Show is an annual technology convention that takes place in Las Vegas. 

The show typically takes place in early January. 

It attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees from all over the world, as well as thousands of tech firms, startups and entrepreneurs.  

Companies show off their latest innovations, ranging from the latest robots, autonomous vehicles and smart assistant-equipped gadgets.  

A recent boom in sleep tech has seen everything from smart pillows and sleep-tracking beds emerging on the market.

Urgonight, a sleep-tracking headset by French startup Urgo Group goes one step further by training your brain to sleep better.

The headband connects to the Urgonight app and trains your brain into developing wave patterns for healthier sleep. 

The Urgonight EEG (electroencephalogram) therapy requires three 20-minute sessions per week, which then gives you feedback in the app that shows your session progress in real time.

The team say that sustainable results take three months to achieve but that it helps you learn how to produce brainwaves that enhance your natural sleep.

Another sleep tech startup Dreamlight unveiled a mask that uses light, sound and genetics so you fall asleep faster and wake up with more energy.

The Dreamlight is a heavily padded and contoured strip that wraps around your head and attaches with velcro.
