I am highly interested in your product - how can I test it out as an early adopter ? I live in Europe
We're based in Sydney, Australia, so ethics approval has us testing only in NSW. You can sign-up for the waitlist on our website ( https://affectablesleep.com )

How does a headband work? will it be FDA approved ?
It is an FDA registered device. The headband has eeg sensors which monitor brain activity looking for slow-waves (synchronous firing of neurons which define deep sleep). 30 degrees from the peak of a slow-wave we "interrupt" the brain with a brief 50ms pulse of sound. In response to this interruption, your brain increases the synchronous firing of neurons. Resulting in more restorative deep sleep without changing the…

Yes, sounds really interesting, as an older adult that worries about diminished ability to recover during sleep, would love to try this out. Thank you !

For me, alarms simply don’t wake me up. I’m literally unconscious and not just asleep. That being said, I only need 6 hours of sleep a night and I can’t sleep any more than that. However, I also have delayed sleep entry. So, I usually stay up until 1am and wake up at 7am, with no alarm. If I want to sleep less than six hours, I simply won’t wake up. Famously, in the military, I was dragged outside, to the morning for…
Do you have DST where you live? Do you suddenly adjust to the new time when travelling to a different timezone? (All this to say that you sleeping 6h flat is plausible, but times-of-day are a human, social construct, and it's impossible for your body not to be able to adapt to going to bed earlier and waking earlier)

Never had an issue with time zone changes when going east, I just stay up later and then go to sleep. Going West, however, is hard. Going to sleep more than a few hours early is quite difficult.
My entire point is that it's likely sociological for you: you either drink your last coffee at 7pm and this keeps you awake for another 6h, or you get into a routine at a particular time, or... As in, your original claim that you "simply can't wake up at 6am" seems unrealistic since "6am" is a thing that means different things in different locations.
