StimScience

Transcranial electrical stimulation techniques like tACS have been used safely for decades by the world’s top neuroscientists for everything from memory improvement to cognitive health conditions, anxiety relief, enhanced sleep, and more. 😴💤 At Somnee, we took tACS one step further, developing a patented approach to closed-loop neurostimulation that is personalized to your unique brainwaves. (Somnee is the only product available that offers personalized tACS —  Other tACS devices only provide one-size-fits-all stimulation.) ➡️ Swipe for a quick breakdown of the key differences between fixed and personalized neurostimulation (and to learn which is better at improving your sleep!) #innovation #technology #neuroscience

Last week, I spoke at the Fortune #BrainstormTech CEO Summit in Park City. It was fun sitting down with Fortune editor Leo Schwartz to discuss wearables and share what we're doing at Somnee to solve the global sleep epidemic. They hosted an impressive lineup of executives and thought leaders from Airbnb, Robinhood, Agility Robotics, Lucid Motors, Colossal Biosciences, Brex, Sequoia Capital, Upfront Ventures, Runway, Norwest Venture Partners, CapitalG, and Forerunner, among many others. It was loaded with insightful sessions, some fun laughs, "AI-everything", hyper-real nature, and absolutely incredible early AM/PM networking activities. A couple of us enjoyed a private water fly fishing experience with former SVB executive and Founders Circle Capital legend Ken Loveless. It was a good balance of learning + fun. 🙌 🙌 to Andrew Nusca, Maryam Banikarim 🗽🚕 ❤️, and the production team at Fortune.

According to research published in Gallup & Casper’s “The State of Sleep in America” 2022 Report — workers who get poor sleep miss ≈2.29 days of work every month. Specifically, the report highlights the link between poor sleep, increased health issues, and unplanned employee absenteeism. 🤒 On the other hand, the report found employees who get consistently high-quality sleep only miss ≈0.91 days on average. With ≈6.2% of the US workforce getting chronically poor sleep, the cost of this unplanned absenteeism is far from negligible. In fact, the report suggests it contributes to roughly $44.6 billion loss for the U.S. economy every year. Long story short — If you care about getting the best out of your teams and employees, supporting high-quality, restorative sleep is a must. 💫 Curious to learn more about Gallup’s findings, and how Somnee could help uplevel your team’s performance?

😴💤 Have you ever had a hot bath and started falling asleep before you could make it to bed? If you have — you’ve experienced what researchers have dubbed “The Warm Bath Effect.” According to Somnee’s Dr. Matthew Walker, UC Berkeley Professor of Neuroscience and author of the NYT Bestseller, “Why We Sleep,” a hot bath is a highly effective way of promoting deeper, quicker sleep. ➡️ Swipe to learn why.

Researchers used to believe that slow wave, deep sleep was most critical for health… But according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, new data suggests that all sleep stages play key roles in our daily and long-term well-being. For instance, the lighter sleep of stage 1 and 2 Non-REM sleep has now been linked with learning and memory formation.🧠 😴💤 This makes getting 7-8 quality hours of nightly sleep all the more essential to ensure your brain can cycle through the 4-6 sleep cycles it needs to help you maintain peak performance. ➡️ How much sleep do you average a night?

Running on 5-6 hours of sleep won’t work forever… Research has found sleep deprivation can lead to similar impairments as being legally drunk. Including: ✗ Reduced focus ✗ Worse decision-making ✗ Less resilience to stress ✗ Impaired problem solving ✗ Heightened irritability and mood swings ✗ Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes So instead of thinking as sleep as “that thing you never get enough of” — trust decades of research that say it’s your best asset to fuel more productive, energized, and enjoyable days. Make 7-8 hours of nightly sleep your new norm, with Somnee.  Learn more at SomneeSleep.com #neuroscience #burnout #productivity

When world-leading sleep scientist Dr. Ram Gurumoorthy talks — we listen. After decades at the forefront of neuroscientific technology, Dr. Ram Gurumoorthy shares his first-hand insights into the science behind a great night’s sleep. At night, your brain waves slow down and get into an even rhythm. This is what generates deep sleep. Somnee works by nudging your brain towards those deep, slow waves. The result: longer-lasting, higher-quality Zzz’s. Somnee — The first clinical-grade sleep headband that adapts to your sleep patterns for the optimal sleep experience.

Sleep trackers are good at capturing your total time awake vs. asleep. But “the results do not always match what we ourselves feel,” says UC Berkeley Neuroscience Professor, NYT best-selling author, and Somnee Co-Founder and Chief Sleep Advisor, Dr. Matt Walker, Ph.D. Somnee’s CEO Tim Rosa recently sat down with Sleep Review to discuss our latest upgrade to help close the gap between sleep data and sleep quality. The upgrade’s goal: to provide users with more detailed insights into their biometrics and actionable insights they can use to enjoy better sleep and more energized, productive, and enjoyable days.
