  • The Tabo Sleep wearable device is designed to wake users up during their lightest stage of sleep, enhancing the natural wake-up process and potentially reducing sleep inertia and grogginess.
  • Founder Tadas Camikas was inspired to create Tabo Sleep after recovering from a traumatic brain injury, which highlighted the critical role of quality sleep in overall health and recovery.
