There's been some recent studies that suggest a cooler temperature is better for quality of sleep and improves insulin sensitivity [1]. There's another company that sells pads that can lower the temperature of the bed [2].

I've used Mou and I think it's pretty stable. I don't see a problem with simply charging for it now. It seems unnecessary to raise money and bring on a whole team.

2) The floating "Learn More..." is unnecessary. People know how to scroll.
3) The alternating layout communicates that they're separate features rather than steps in a process. I would explore different ways to communicate the steps.
4) Make it very clear the problem your app is solving. Like petalpete mentioned in his suggestion, "event" is vague and generic. Try to use terms that clear and specific like concert, holiday party, etc.
5) Maybe consider curating the recent images. Some of them are fairly low quality.

EDIT: The about page seems to subtly imply that's what it's for.
I would move the video higher up or make the hero a video/gif of it in use. It hadn't clicked for me what the app did until I watched the video that's halfway down the page. All the information before it didn't mean anything because I didn't get the concept.
The app looks incredibly flexible. But with that, it's somewhat hard to picture how someone would use it. You have a few use cases laid out under the intro (Ideating, Task Management, Visualization, etc.) but I didn't immediately get how I could use your tool for all those things. I would expand those use cases and show how they could be accomplished with your tool (through screenshots, animated gifs, or more short video clips). I should be able to picture myself using it.
That said, it looks like a great tool. I'm looking forward to checking it out more.
Edit: if you don't know what it is, don't look it up. Seriously.
One example of this is shown in a usability study by the Baymard Institute on top ecommerce checkout processes [1]. The goal of the study was to determine best practices for checkout usability by testing the top 15 ecommerce sites. One of the more fascinating finds they made was that during the checkout process, users perceived certain fields as being more secure than others. Even though the fields were all part of the same form and on the same page, users still believed fields with a little lock icon were more secure than the rest of the fields! It didn't matter if the entire page was encrypted. Users would abandon the checkout process because the credit card fields didn't "feel secure" compared to the rest of the page.
To most of us, this looks like a frivolous feature suggested by a "UX monkey" (as one commenter put it) but don't underestimate the power of making users feel safe. For all we know, this stupid gif could have cut support calls 20%.
But seriously, I'm glad someone took the time to take something as beneficial as meditation and make its impact quantifiable. I'm excited to try it out.
