drowsie
The speaker that goes under your pillow. Only you hear it.
You need sound. They need silence.

Only you hear it
Press play, then tap between your side of the bed and theirs. Same room, same night.
Best with headphones. Start low and bring the volume up.
Your phone is on silent. Flip the switch on its side, then try again.
Your phone or laptop speaker can't quite do this justice. Under the pillow it's softer and closer than any recording.
The sound goes up through the pillow into your ear and fades within centimetres. By the middle of the bed there is nothing left to hear.
A member's wrist wearable measured the room all night for four months. Playing and silent landed on the same spot: the ordinary quiet of a bedroom.
How Drowsie drives your sleep
10:45 pm
I go to bed at and I'm up at
10:45 pm
Thinner than a book, flat side down. I don't even feel it under there, and there's nothing to charge tonight.
10:49 pm
It plays anything from my phone. Or I open the Drowsie app and pick rain. Either way, he doesn't hear a thing.
11:00 pm
And I stay asleep. The sound fades out on its own, and I don't reach for anything.
2:14 am
Through the pillow. Nothing on me, nothing to press.
2:16 am
I don't remember it in the morning. Night after night it learns which sound settles me, and changes it before it wears off. That's the Settle Loop.
2:30 am
It pays attention so I don't have to, and plays what keeps me asleep.
6:50 am
A gentle chime under the pillow at the time I set. Only I hear it.
Tonight
Tomorrow morning
You slept. It paid attention. In the morning your phone shows you what happened, in plain words.
From the night it arrives
How long you take to settle. When you begin to wake. It plays what you chose, and pays attention.
The sound that settled you fastest comes back first. You don't have to do anything.
Two weeks in, Drowsie reads your nights better than it did on night one. It knows your 2 am.
The same sounds, every night, stop working. Drowsie changes them before your brain tunes out. So what works keeps working.
Not a pill. The first nights are Drowsie learning you, and some will feel ordinary. That's why the guarantee asks for 30 of your first 60 nights: give it the month it needs to become yours.
How we know
Every line on this page was measured on real nights, against the wrist wearables our members already own. Nothing here is a lab claim.
A member's wrist wearable measured the room from the wrist, all night, for four months. With Drowsie playing under the pillow it read the same as with Drowsie silent.
Across 223 nights from 16 members, Drowsie agreed with their own wrist wearables on asleep versus awake 93 percent of the time. Tuned the way phone sonar apps publish their numbers: 90 percent on sleep, 66 percent on wake, level with the leading phone sonar app.
The pillow goes still, and stays still. And because Drowsie knows the moment a sound started, it can tell how long you took to settle after it. Nothing on your wrist can do that.
Your awake minutes, checked against your own wrist wearable, night after night.
Two weeks in, Drowsie reads your nights better than it did on night one. A picture built from one member's own nights beat a picture built from everyone else's.
Rain on a Tin Roof — as it sounds through the pillow, to you alone.
Best with headphones. Start low and bring the volume up.

Three questions
Do you share a bed?
Do you wake in the night and struggle to get back to sleep?
What do you fall asleep to now?
In their words
★★★★★
LOVE this! It's the perfect answer to needing sleep music at night without bothering my spouse. MUCH more comfortable than earbuds or airpods! And super easy to manage in the middle of the night.
★★★★★
Really great. I use this every night, it fits under the pillow and the sound travels through the pillow without disturbing my wife.
★★★★★
Great quality speaker, can hear clearly through pillow. My husband can’t hear a thing so it’s perfect!
★★★★★
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. My husband can't here it so not disturbing him. I listen to hypnosis and meditation to fall asleep and it's working well.
★★★★★
I suffer from tinnitus (ringing in my ears) when I go to sleep and my wife let me try this and it was a blessing! It did not eliminate the ringing but it masked it enough to let me fall asleep without thinking about the ringing. Such a relief.
★★★★★
It feels a bit surreal because my brain can focus on the rain sounds which helps me fall sleep in minutes instead of hours. So happy I found this
★★★★★
I use this every night so that my listening to manage insomnia does not interrupt my partner's sleep. Soft and slim are great features.
★★★★★
It works very well, easy to pair with smart device, doesn’t disturb my wife who is a light sleeper. The sound is good thru my pillow quite clear. Another good thing is that one charge last throughout the night, at least 9hrs in my case.
★★★★★
For the first time in forever, I fell asleep when my head hit the pillow. It usually takes me forever to fall asleep. I feel like I slept for a week last night!
★★★★★
Tried it all - headbands, sound masks, white noise machines, earphones, headphones, you name it. Drowsie seems to be all-in-one, and my partner doesn not complain when I am blasting my chirpy birds under my pillow
★★★★★
It’s a great device for me - I have sleep apnea and it’s so nice to listen to the radio when I wake up. Easy to turn on & off but not so easy to use the timer function - might be just my old age. Very happy with it.
★★★★★
The speaker is the best I’ve experienced as it’s really clear and not muffled. Helps me sleep well
★★★★★
Where has this been my whole life!! I am an ASMR-er and I cannot tell you how much easier Drowsie has made my life! My hubby is not a fan of ASMR so it was a struggle to find the time to get my dose. Now I can listen to it all night!!
★★★★★
As a new mum, I have tried white noise machines before, headbands, earphones, even other pillow speakers. The bluetooth on Drowsie makes is soooooo easy to connect and listen. And it is so much more comfortable than anything else I have tried before! I recommend this for mums who struggle with sleep
★★★★★
Omg! My new best friend! I am 42 and not very phone savvy and thought it would be difficult to set up but it is so simple! Works really well for rain sounds. The sound is really clear. Recommended for those who like to fall asleep to sounds.
★★★★★
The best Pillow Speaker out there! - I have tried so many pillow speakers. Drowsie is the best! The sound quality is amazing and the battery life is really long! I put drowsie under my pillow and while I hear the podcast perfectly, my husband hears nothing. You won�t regret buying Drowsie!
★★★★★
Sound quality (on the pillow and not under) is excellent. Bluetooth link to my iPhone is easy and hassle free. It is comfortable for sure. I could never find earphones that didn’t dig in so I’m happy to have an alternative to listen to music or sleep stories that my spouse doesn’t have to hear.
★★★★★
Great sound quality, easy to sync with phone and apps. Lovely gift for my mother who wanted to listen to something at night other than grim world news.
★★★★★
I love my Drowsie speaker. This is my third (I’ve accidentally thrown two in the wash), I’m trying the black one this time. They’re so good that I bought one for my Mum and for my nephew too.
★★★★★
Absolutely love my Drowsie and use nightly. Cannot speak high enough of the company and their kindness, support and help. Thanks.
★★★★★
I would highly recommend this product. I have purchased a couple for myself as I keep one always charged as I use it every night. I have also recommended it to many friends and they also love it.
★★★★★
Fantastic device! Portable, easy to use. Great to settle the nervous system when sleeping. Easy to order and shipped quickly. Highly recommend!

THE UNDER-PILLOW SLEEP SPEAKER
One thin speaker under your pillow and a year of the app. Built in Melbourne, and it learns which sounds settle you — then changes them before they stop working.

CONTAINS
DOES NOT CONTAIN
What happens if I stop paying?
The speaker is yours forever. It keeps playing anything over Bluetooth, any app, any phone. Sleep Club is the part that learns, tracks and runs your nights.
Can I keep falling asleep to Spotify or YouTube?
Yes. Fall asleep to anything. Drowsie takes over once you're out and runs the rest of the night.
Will my partner really not hear it?
The sound travels through the pillow to your ear and stops there.
I toss and turn. Will it stay put?
It stays flat under the pillow. Nothing is attached to you. The sound comes up through the pillow whichever way you sleep.
Will it work with my pillow? Feather, memory foam, thick, thin?
Yes. It goes under whatever pillow your head rests on. Flat side down, and you won't feel it.
I sleep with two pillows.
Put it under the one your head is on. That's the pillow the sound comes up through.
I sleep on my side. Does it matter which way I face?
No. The sound comes up through the pillow whichever way you sleep, and it stays put.
Does my partner need one too?
Only if they want their own sounds. Yours stays on your side of the bed; they hear nothing.
Something else? A CPAP, hearing in one ear, an unusual bed?
Ask us and a person will answer: drowsie.com.au/pages/contact-us.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. You won't be charged again, and the speaker stays yours.
