At the Consumer Electronics Show, the largest trade show in the world devoted to the electronic, Morpheus jars. Taking the appearance of a mechanical alarm of yesteryear, with its golden keys to wind the mechanism, the small object does not connect to the Internet, and only carries no screen. Its reason for being? Soothe the body and mind before sleep in the evening or starting the day in the morning.

Morpheus is a medium of meditation. It offers 200 sessions, divided into 7 themes and two durations, created by sophrologists and sleep specialists. Dozens of applications, on the stores of Apple and Google, offer similar content. But the two French people who have co-founded this start-up, Guillaume Barathon and Charlie Rousset, have preferred to create an object in hand, completely disconnected.
The smartphone, enemy of sleep
“The smartphone is the worst enemy of sleep. It creates agitation, maintains in a state of alert. The best place is outside the house,” argues Charlie Rousset in the aisles dedicated to the French Tech. It is not attempted to browse again his over Instagram, or open notifications WhatsApp is just before bedtime.
The sessions are listening through a speaker or headset, with a voice of a man or a woman. Morpheus is recharged by a micro USB, and can also be used on battery, with a week of battery life. Once the session has been completed, the case closes thanks to its wooden hull, which serves as the cover, and ends to hide any appearance of technology.
Morpheus is sold for three months in Nature and Discovered, at 79 euros. “This is one of the biggest successes of the moment”, welcomes Guillaume Barathon. A campaign of crowdfunding, two years ago, had helped start this adventure. The presence at the ces in Las Vegas should be able to find new distributors in France and internationally.
