Some days we have trouble getting to sleep quickly, other days we have a hard time staying asleep. Your Somnee will measure in real-time your brain's sleep signals to determine the best possible stim session that will optimize your sleep. It then provides a personalized stim session customized to support your needs every night. As you continue to use your headband, it will adjust as your sleep evolves so you can rest easy knowing that you'll wake up refreshed.

Safety is our absolute top priority. Our studies were overseen by neurologists and neuroscientists from UC Berkeley, and by the E&I IRB, an independent institutional review board. tES has been approved for at-home use in many other products, and Somnee has electrical and software safeguards that limit the amount of stimulation and electrical current to less than 1/10th the amount of current in consumer electrical muscle stimulator (ie. TENS) units.

Somnee follows IRB recommendation of no more than 15 minutes for a stim session. The Somnee app will only allow 1 stim session a day. After your stim session is complete, you can choose to keep the headband on for our lab-accurate EEG sleep tracking.

Somnee's stimulation is personalized and the stim session settings are updated automatically as your sleep evolves. It also requires replaceable hydrogel electrodes. The Somnee subscription covers the cost of ongoing stim session personalization, and as many replacement electrodes as you need, delivered right to your door.

A stim session feels like a light tingling sensation on your forehead. Depending on your sensitivity, people describe it as a light scratchy sensation, while others even feel a little warmth at the site of the electrodes. You may also experience a blinking light sensation. When these sensations appear, that's how you know it's working and after a few minutes they fade away. These are normal, safe effects of a stim session, and they stop as soon as the stim session stops. You can always stop a stim session if it becomes uncomfortable, and you can also adjust the intensity of the stimulation using the Somnee app.

We designed Somnee for nearly any adult who wants to improve their sleep, but there are a few people who should not use it. Somnee is not recommended for pregnant women, children under 18, epileptics or individuals with a history of seizures, or individuals with implantab20le metal or electronic devices in their heads or chests. Additionally, individuals with acne or skin abrasions on their foreheads should wait until the condition clears to use Somnee.

Yes! Somnee is first-and-foremost a sleep fixer, not a sleep tracker, so it delivers a sleep report that is different from what you can get from a smart ring or watch. Somnee is the only sleep report to offer:

- Unique sleep insights based on brain signals;
- Sleep lab accuracy (15-25% more accurate than heart-rate-based trackers); and
- A “less is more” interface that hopefully doesn’t distract you from Somnee’s main benefit of improving your sleep, not just tracking it.
