You fall asleep watching TV. It plays for six more hours. Sleep-Save listens for the moment you actually drift off — then pauses your show, dims the lights, and lets the house go quiet. It isn't a timer. It doesn't guess. WAKE UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Drift off mid-episode and Sleep-Save pauses instead of barrelling through four more. Your show is waiting exactly where you left it. Free, forever. NO MORE 3AM WAKE-UPS No blaring dialogue at three in the morning. No hunting for the remote in the dark. No lying there deciding whether it is worth getting up. YOUR WHOLE BEDROOM, HANDLED Connect your lights, plugs and thermostat and Sleep-Save takes care of the room, not just the screen. STOP PAYING FOR HOURS YOU ARE NOT WATCHING A 65-inch TV left on five hours a night costs about $32 a year in electricity. Heating and cooling is the bigger prize: nearly half the average household energy bill. SleepSave Premium — Subscription Details Individual — $4.99 per month, auto-renewing monthly subscription.
