Banala Lite
Better sleep, close at hand.
Lite brought our Sleep-Cycle-Inducing™ System into a compact bedside device. Press the button, keep it barely audible, and settle in.
OUR STORY
Your energy. Your patience. The way you show up for the people you love. Since 2018, we’ve been building Banala sleep and wellness devices around one belief: better sleep should help you live better.
Pittsburgh beginnings. A worldwide community.
OUR MISSION
We believe better sleep is the foundation of a better life. When nights leave you exhausted, they follow you into the day: into your work, your mood and the moments you want to enjoy.
We build Banala to help change that. Deeper rest. A calmer mind. The energy and clarity to feel more like yourself. These are the changes we want our work to bring into your life.
OUR ROOTS · 2018
Better Sleep. Better Life.
We began in Pittsburgh, USA—a city known for grit, invention and reinvention. We brought years of research into sleep and isochronic sound technology to a goal that still guides us: helping you fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply and wake up refreshed.
In 2018, we brought that idea to Kickstarter with the Banala Alarm Clock. It was designed to do more at the bedside: help you settle into sleep at night, as well as wake you in the morning.
Our early backers helped bring the first Banala to life. Their support made room for a bigger mission: develop technology that helps you sleep better, feel calmer and live with more energy and clarity. That is still why we keep building.
THE NAME BANALA
The name Banala was inspired by Tibetan language and the idea of peaceful sleep. That spirit lives in everything we create: helping you sleep better, feel calmer and move through life with greater clarity.
THE BANALA JOURNEY
From the original alarm clock to a growing family of devices, we’ve kept developing new ways to bring Banala into your life.

Banala Sleep Pro
Sleep Pro introduced the Sleep-Cycle-Inducing™ System 2.0, carrying years of Banala development into our most advanced sleep device yet.
THE WORK BEHIND BETTER NIGHTS
Banala’s proprietary Sleep-Cycle-Inducing™ System, integrated with isochronic sound technology, is designed to help quiet your mind, relax your body and support deeper rest.
In Lite, Sense’s Sleep Mode and Sleep Pro, the soundwave blend evolves through the night. The experience stays familiar: place it nearby, press the button and keep the sound barely audible.
OUR VISION
We want more people to experience what a better night can make possible: waking with energy, thinking with clarity and being present for the people and things they love.
Our vision reaches beyond the bedside. Through continued development in sleep, focus, relaxation and well-being, we want Banala to support more of the moments that shape how you feel. Progress means bringing that support within reach of more people, in ways that fit their lives.
BUILT WITH OUR COMMUNITY
Our first Kickstarter backers helped turn an idea into Banala. Every person who has welcomed a device into their life has helped carry that story forward.
Your experience matters from the first question to the nights and days you spend with Banala. We want you to feel informed when you choose, supported when you need us, and heard when you share what could be better.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
It began with my own difficulty falling asleep.
At the time, I was an EEG researcher studying how the human mind works. I began applying that knowledge to develop technology that could help me sleep better. Around 2012, I started using it myself and with my family. It worked so well for us that I wanted to share it with the world.
In 2018, we launched Banala. Since then, hearing people tell us how Banala has changed their lives has brought me so much joy. Some of those stories have brought tears to my eyes. Knowing that our work has helped someone sleep better and feel better is what keeps me motivated.
What matters to me is what a better night makes possible: waking up rested, having the energy to do something you enjoy, and being more present with the people you love. That is what I hope Banala brings into your life.
To everyone who backed our first idea, welcomed Banala into their home, or took the time to share their experience: thank you. Your encouragement keeps us going. I’m grateful to have you with us as we work to make the world a better place, one better night’s sleep at a time.
Better Sleep. Better Life. That will always be why we do this.
