1. An illumination device comprising:
a housing;
a light source associated with the housing;
a speaker associated with the housing; and
a controller operable to control sound output of the speaker and light output of the light source,
wherein the controller is configured to cause the speaker to output a breathing sound pattern in a desired cadence,
wherein the breathing sound pattern output from the speaker is selected from white noise, brown noise, pink noise, or a recording of a person's breath,
wherein the controller is configured to cause a luminosity of light emitted from the light source to increase and decrease in synchronization with a volume of the breathing sound pattern output by the speaker,
wherein the cadence comprises a first period corresponding to an inhalation portion of the breathing sound pattern and a second period corresponding to an exhalation portion of the breathing sound pattern,
wherein the volume of the breathing sound pattern output by the speaker increases during the first period and decreases during the second period,
wherein a length of the first period is between 30% and 50% of a single cycle of the cadence and a length of the second period is between 70% and 50% of the single cycle of the cadence.
