Nowadays, getting healthy sleeping schedules can be harder than ever before. There are many different reasons for someone having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Firstly, having insomnia or other sleeping disorders can easily keep someone from sleeping at night. Moreover, all those long-hours that we spent staring at the digital screens on our devices (PCs, Smartphones, tablets, etc.) also don’t help us at all to have a healthier sleeping schedule. While exposure to direct sunlight can greatly help you regulate your body’s circadian rhythm (your body’s natural sleeping and waking up cycles), the blue light emitted by our devices’ digital screens can easily mess with our body’s ability to prepare for sleep, as blue light actually blocks your body’s production of a hormone called melatonin, which is responsible for making us sleepy. In fact, some studies even suggest that approximately 60% of people spend more than 6 hours a day staring at their devices’ screens, including both younger (teens and “Millennials”) and older generations. With all that said, consider getting yourself a sleeping aid device, as this solution actually tends to be quite effective for helping many people getting a healthier sleep schedule. This brings us to the Morphée and My Little Morphée Sleeping Aid Devices.
The Morphée is a portable non-digital and screen-free audio sleeping aid device for adults that works by combining the best of guided meditation and sophrology to significantly improve the quality of sleep of its users.
What is Sophrology?
For those that unfamiliar with the term Sophrology, this is a form of therapy that’s used to relax the mind via a combination of relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, so that you can rid your mind of past worries and future anxieties by ultimately returning it to the present moment.
Sophrology can help people that suffer from anxiety to limit the flow of anxious thoughts solely by having their mind focused on breathing, on the body or an image, which should consequently allow you to let go of any concerns on your mind and experience deep relaxation before going to sleep.
Now, back to the Morphée Sleeping Aid Device. The Morphée offers adults 210 Meditation and Sleep session combinations that are inspired by guided meditation and sophrology, which not only can be listened to right before going to bed, but also whenever you find yourself struggling to sleep during the night, and these sessions can be listened to either via the unit’s built-in speakers, or alternatively, by using headphones.
All and all, the Morphée was designed to help people falling asleep more easily and quickly, as well as to help them create a deep and restorative sleep, and also to help them wake up refreshed and re-energized, so that they can feel perfectly ready to take on the day(s) ahead.
Then, for our little ones, we also have the My Little Morphée, which, just as the original Morphée device, is a non-digital and screen-free audio sleeping aid device that’s designed specifically for children aged between three to eight years old.
The My Little Morphée Sleeping Aid Device contains 192 Meditation and Magical journeys that not only can help to prepare children before bedtime, but can also help to calm them down during the day.
Just like its bigger sibling (the Morphée), the My Little Morphée was designed to help children falling asleep more easily and quickly, as well as to help them feel more calm and more relaxed during the day.
Now, without any further ado, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at both the Morphée and My Little Morphée and check out what each of these Sleeping Aid Devices have to offer to adults and children respectively
The Morphée – Sleeping Aid Device for Adults
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the Morphée’s size, this non-digital and screen-free audio sleeping aid device comes at a very compact size, with the unit only weighing 1.3 lbs., which ultimately makes it ultra-portable. As such, you can even take it with you while you’re traveling.
Additionally, the Morphée also features an extremely minimalist, yet still modern design, portraying a very elegant shape throughout its gorgeous warm beech wood shell that also makes it a beautiful decoration object for your bedroom (other than its main purpose of being used as a sleeping aid device, of course).
Not only that, but this sleeping aid device for adults was also designed to have a very ergonomic shape in order to make it pleasant and comforting to touch.
INTERFACE / CONTROLS & HOW TO USE?
Moving on to the device’s Interface, which is actually extremely user-friendly, we have a set of three (x3) built-in Crank Keys that allow you to control the different settings for the Morpheé’s 210 Meditation and Sleep session combinations.
The top-left Crank Key can be used to select your preferred Theme from the device’s eight (x8) different Relaxation and Sleep Themes that are available.
Those are:
- Body Scan – a Guided Voice that brings attention to parts of your body, slowing your thoughts down.
- Breathing – Guided Breathing exercises that help you to calm your mind and also help you to focus on the present.
- Movement – Guided Sessions of contracting and relaxing your muscles to help you release tension.
- Visualizations – Meditation Sessions that help you calm your mind (these are intended to be used during the daytime, rather than before sleeping).
- Rhythm / Cardiac Coherence – These sessions can help you reduce the number of breaths per minute (which go from 10 to 6) to ultimately decrease your heart rate, which helps your body to relax, and consequently helps you to gradually fall asleep.
- Napping – a 4-minute relaxation period that goes silent until nature sounds wake you up in a peaceful manner at the end of each session.
- Relaxing Music – a few different peaceful tunes that help you wind down.
- Nature Sounds – 3D recordings of different Nature Sounds from all around the world (such as sea sounds, jungle sounds, an indoors environment on a rainy day, a thunderstorm, a cat purring, and more) that allow you to be completely immersed when listening with headphones.
Then, by using the device’s top-right Crank Key you can select your preferred Session. For each of the already-mentioned Relaxation and Sleep Themes, there are 8 different sessions that you can choose from. These sessions are listed and detailed in The Blue Book of Sleep that comes with each Morphée device – meaning the proprietary User Manual that’s seen at the background of the following picture (embedded below).
Finally, the device’s bottom Crank Key can be used to choose the duration of your session, for which you can choose between an 8-minute session or a 20-minutes session.
At the bottom-left side of the unit, we have a Power On / Off Button as well as its dedicated Play / Pause Button.
Additionally, at the bottom-right side of the unit, we have a set of Volume Increase and Volume Decrease Buttons, which are also accompanied by a Voice Switch that allows you to swap between the two Voice Narrators that are available, which are called Piers (for having a Male Voice Narrator for your sessions) and Gina (for having a Female Voice Narrator for your sessions).
Right at the bottom side of the unit, we have a small built-in Speaker that actually can offer you a fairly decent sound quality.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to have a more immersive listening experience, you can ultimately listen to your session(s) simply by plugging a set of headphones to the device’s built-in 3.5 mm Aux Jack port, which can be found at the very top-side of the unit.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Now, it’s also important to note that this sleeping aid device for adults is battery-powered, as it comes equipped with an internal rechargeable battery that can offer you around 1 week’s worth of daily listening (but this can still last you up to 10 days if you listen to the shorter 8-minute sessions).
To recharge the device’s battery, all you have to do is to connect its USB-A to Micro USB Charging Cable to its Micro USB Charging port. It only takes a couple of hours to have the device’s internal battery recharged back to full power (100% battery-power).

The My Little Morphée – Sleeping Aid Devices for Children
DESIGN & SPECS
Now, let’s also have a look at the My Little Morphée, which is the company’s second non-digital and screen-free audio sleeping aid device that’s designed specifically for children aged between three to eight years old.
Starting with the unit’s size, the My Little Morphée device also comes at a very compact size, measuring just 7.08 inches long by 4.33 inches wide by just 2.75 inches tall (18 x 11 x 7 cm), with the unit only weighing 1.3 lbs, which basically makes it ultra-portable.
Thanks to its compact and ultra-lightweight design, children can always bring it with them on their adventures, where they’re traveling for a family vacation, going for a sleepover at a relative’s or friend’s house, or anything in between.
At the top-side of the device, we also have a built-in Wooden Carrying Handle that makes it easy for children to carry their My Little Morphée device.
Now, it’s important to note that this audio sleeping aid device is deliberately designed as a 100% non-digital, wave, and screen-free form in order to help avoid any disruptive blue light from digital devices in the bedroom, as that same blue light can easily prevent children from falling asleep (just like we mentioned at the start of the article).
Still, despite not having any digital components, this sleeping aid device for children still features a minimalist and kid-friendly design that’s mainly focused on how playful children can truly be, and as such, the device comes portraying a Shock-Resistant outer shell.
It slightly looks like a children toy box for songs, but ultimately, and as we already know, it is so, so much more.
On top of its kid-friendly and ultra-ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to touch, all of the unit’s edges are also smoothed-out to ultimately ensure that children never get hurt when carrying the unit or even when messing around with its different settings for its 192 audio-based Meditation and Magical journeys.
INTERFACE / CONTROLS & HOW TO USE?
Now, let’s have a look at the device’s Interface. Just like its bigger sibling, the My Little Morphée device also offers its young-users (children) a very well-designed interface that features an extremely intuitive design, ultimately making it fairly easy for children to use this sleeping aid device.
In sum, we just have three different (x3) built-in Keys that allow children to control the different settings for their My Little Morphée’s 192 different Meditation and Magical journeys.
These sessions include visualizations (or ‘journeys’), breathing and relaxation exercises, and guided meditations. It’s also important to mention that all of these Meditation and Magical sessions were designed and carried out by sleep experts specializing in child relaxation. Finally, all of the included meditations and visualizations are also designed to help children develop their personal confidence, as well as to improve their concentration and focus, and even to foster emotional versatility.
With the first key, children can either select an animal of their choice, or alternatively, they can instead select a meditation session, listen to relaxing music or nature sounds.
Each animal represents a different facet of emotions, be it confidence, enthusiasm, wisdom, generosity, happiness, courage, curiosity and independence, helping children to develop their own sense of self.
From the 192 available sessions to choose from, 128 of those are Soothing Meditative Journeys, then 16 are Nature Sounds, 32 are more simple Meditation Sessions, and 16 others are Relaxing Songs. The 128 Soothing Visual Journeys can quickly transport children and their awesome and super-imaginative minds to different destinations (an island, a desert, a forest, etc), guided by an animal of their choice.
The Meditation settings, on the other hand, can help children to gain control of their emotions, as well as to teach them how to better calm themselves. Finally, the 16 Nature Sounds and 16 Soft Music Tracks that are available can respectively help children to unwind and relax.
With the second key, children can quickly choose one of the many different destinations available (Island, Desert, Forest, and more).
Then, at the right-side of the device, there’s also a Duration Switch that children can use to choose the duration of each of session (Short or Long), and below this Switch, we also have the device’s Power On / Off Button.
At the top-side of the unit, we also have a simple dedicated Play / Pause Button that allows them to immediately start either their Meditation Session or Magical journey.
Lastly, integrated right at the center of the device (just near the bottom edge), we also have a small built-in Speaker that actually can offer you a fairly decent sound quality.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Since this sleeping aid device for children is battery-powered, the My Little Morphée comes equipped with an internal rechargeable battery that can offer kids a battery life of approximately three (x3) hours on Play Mode (which should get them around 15 stories / meditation sessions).
The device’s Micro-USB Charging port can be found at the bottom of the right-side of the unit (just below its Power On / Off Button), where you can easily connect the unit’s included USB-A to Micro-USB Charging Cable to ultimately recharge its internal battery.
This can be done by connecting its USB Charging Cable’s other end either to a PC, or alternatively, to a USB Power Adaptor (which doesn’t come included, mind you).
Charging the unit is quick and should only take you a couple of hours.
