It's a Pillow Alarm that not only plays loud music but also violently vibrates the sleeper awake. It is for people with untreated Apnea.

It's probably another device that claims to prevent sleep apnea by putting your head in a certain position and just in case you do stop breathing, it sounds an alarm and wakes you up! Like you would get a good night's sleep with that alarm going off...

Just a guess!

I'm gonna guess it's a fancy alarm clock, that wakes you up at the proper sleep stage.

I found it online with a description, but don't want to ruin Roster's fun if he knows and wants to see who can guess.

Severe sleep apnea raises the risk of dying early by 46 percent.....

The article is not clear what it is but I suspect it is a sleep apnea detector.....check out the link

Capon? You've laid an egg, So Well. You don't have a leg to stand on. Did you really mean that, or were you just winging it? I suggest you make a clean breast of it and admit you cocked up your poultry terms. Better to eat crow than be pecked to death for an insult like that.

I read the article in the link above. They said the best treatment for sleep apnea is to lose weight.
How can that be? I'm 6 ft tall and weigh 158.

If I lose any more weight, the pat-downs at the airport will miss me.

I don't know what it is. Maybe Madalot will tell us.
