Chopra partnered with real estate wellness consultancy Delos and two development companies — S2 Development and Property Markets Group — to create the residences.
Some scientists and medical professionals have criticized Chopra's claims, calling his teachings pseudoscience, particularly those related to evolution and medicine.
Chopra also says the units' state-of-the-art water purification and air filtration systems will boost residents' immune systems.
The units will have morning, mid-day, and evening settings, though that can be turned off manually if residents choose.
Recent research has emphasized the benefits of following circadian rhythms. In a 2013 study, scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder found that if you live by the sun's schedule, you are more likely to go to sleep at least an hour earlier, wake up an hour earlier, and feel less sluggish, because your internal clock and external environment are more in sync.
The Muse Residences are part of the smart home movement, Chopra says. In the future, he expects homes will be able to monitor residents' blood pressure, heart rate, stress levels, and immune functions, then recommend how to adjust lighting and temperature accordingly.
