AMAZON UNVEILS BEDSIDE DEVICE THAT TRACKS SLEEPING PATTERNS

Soon enough, a bedside Amazon device might know whether you're sleeping - or not.

- 

The e-commerce and tech giant said it will start selling a device later this year that can track sleeping patterns without a wristband.

The device, called Halo Rise, will use no-contact sensors and artificial intelligence to measure a user's movement and breathing patterns, allowing the device to track sleep stages during the night, the Seattle-based company said.

Amazon said the device "does not include cameras or microphones," and will go for $139.99.
