The technology combines a [contact-less sleep sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad) that is tucked under your mattress, an [active light and sound bedside device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-soother-machine) and a companion smartphone app. The device offers dedicated sleep and wake-up programs using both light and sound to provide a comfortable, stress-free wake-up experience. The Withings Aura takes into account the scientifically proven correlation between light wavelengths and the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for the sleep-wake cycle. The Aura's wake-up cycle uses a narrow blue light spectrum that inhibits melatonin and raises your alertness. The Aura comes with a variety of programs that help you sleep and wake up in a relaxed and healthy manner.
