Re:M is a Sleep Support Device Designed by Jejun Park to Help Users Fall Asleep

Re:M is a bedside device created to support sleep onset and morning waking through simplified display and ambient sound output. The device forgoes traditional digital numerals, instead showing time with a minimal dot for hours and a line for minutes, and is finished in a soft blue tone. An integrated speaker system delivers adjustable sound content such as white noise or nature sounds to mask disruptive noise and provide a calming audio background. Controls for audio selection, volume, and power are managed via a companion smartphone app, while a single dial on the device itself handles volume adjustments.

Re:M includes a gradual wake function that increases sound and light intensity over time to avoid abrupt alarms. The housing sits on a stable base with subtle grip pads and charges via USB-C, with a small LED indicating charge status. The design emphasizes quiet interaction and sensory support intended for restless sleepers rather than tracking sleep metrics or offering complex feature sets.
