Somnee

I purchased the version one headband when I first saw it about a year and a half ago. I was using it fairly often after the training mode. It really helped me get to sleep faster overtime. I was having more issues with the headband and it connecting with the app sometimes causing recently. I decide I had an issue with the battery and I emailed customer service about a replacement unit or paying for an upgrade to the they gave me the option to upgrade to the new unit. It arrived super fast and wow, version two is a huge improvement. The sound is built into the headband. The app connects way faster the battery last longer, and the effects seem to kick in a lot faster I definitely recommend the new version two headband to anybody that’s considering. In the future, I hope that insomnia adds a few different sleep, tones or sleep meditation sounds. There’s only a few right now and one that I like the best, but I would love to have new options being added in the future.

The device will inaccurately register, sleep patterns. I will have the device on if I wake up in the middle of the night keep it on and it will register me as if I’m in REM sleep. I would take the device off, but if I take the device off for too long, sometimes it says that I’m not due for another session so I don’t know if it’ll pick up the rest of my sleep in the night. The headband itself falls off frequently at night. I will wake up with it not on my forehead and it registering that I had deep sleep. There’s nowhere in the app that I can leave feedback that I can find so that’s why I’m leaving this review. I’m hoping that these issues will be fixed because I believe the device may be effective but I’m am not for certain due to the fact, I can’t trust the data of my sleep that it pulls.

I never really have a hard time falling asleep and have found that taking magnesium before bed helps, but I’ve always struggled with overnight wake ups. Somnee came recommended from a physician friend that told me to check it out since I’m against any side effects that prescription sleep meds cause. I started out skeptical but thought I’d give it a shot. After going through their brain mapping and personalization steps I not only improved the time it took to fall asleep, but I started sleeping through the whole night. The headband takes a couple nights to get used to and the app is pretty intuitive and easy to use. I’ve been using it mainly for the stimulation aid but do sleep with the headband overnight a couple days a week to compare the data with my Eight Sleep. They say the tracking is coming directly from the brain and I’ve found it to be similar to my Eight Sleep but with more detailed sleep phase tracking. I’m happy with the product and encourage anyone that is struggling with sleep to try it out. Highly recommend.
