This is what kokoon is focused on, and bose also makes sleep earbuds.

We're not in the sleep earbuds space, but at https://soundmind.co we're making an eeg headband with bone conduction sound to improve sleep performance via auditory stimulation.

Auditory stim doesn't help you fall asleep, so we let you listen to whatever you want as you fall asleep, when we detect you've fallen asleep, we stop whatever you were listening to, and switch on our stim.

That sounds great, too bad I can't give you money, but I gave you my email.

I don't really care about stim, but pausing my book after I fall asleep is HUGE. Right now i use a sleep timer which is okay, but if the book is good and stops before I fall asleep, I need to really wake up and set a new timer. If I set a longer timer, there is a chance I will fall asleep early and have a hard time finding my spot later

Thanks. We discussed just having a version of our product that doesn't include the stim, and perhaps we'll do that one day, but we need to be tracking in order to know when to turn off anyway. We'll see..

the audiobook usecase is so important to me, that ill give you hundreds of dollars for the "stim" part that I dont really need :)
