Anker’s SleepLab speaker aims to improve sleep tracking and relaxation without requiring a wearable device. The 60GHz millimeter-wave radar emitted from the nightstand monitors micro-movements in the chest and body, continuously tracking heart rate and breathing. The device aims to determine within one month which routines provide better rest; it combines acoustic binaural beats and lighting to gradually enhance relaxation. The speaker operates independently of a phone with a single button and does not require a paid subscription; audio can also be streamed via Bluetooth. SleepLab can currently be reserved for $1. The radar-equipped SleepLab Pro model is offered at $269.99, while the model without a sensor is priced at $169.99. The product was unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin. The report notes that it would be appropriate to wait for reviews before assessing its performance.
Why it matters
Conducting sleep tracking from a nightstand offers a different approach for people who do not want to use a wearable device for this type of measurement. Its phone-independent operation and lack of a paid subscription make the product relevant not only to users who want to track sleep data but also to those seeking everyday convenience. The price difference between the radar-equipped and sensor-free options will lead buyers to choose between measurement features and cost. However, it is not yet clear how reliable the heart rate and breathing tracking will be, how the contribution of binaural sound and lighting to relaxation will be assessed, or what practical results the personal routine analysis targeted by the product will produce.
