There is a growing body of research showing that increasing slow-wave activity during sleep can improve outcomes, including sleep quality[1], memory, and correlations with amyloid response[2].

Sadly, our latest grant application did not receive funding, but we are supporting other clinical researchers with our technology. Our technology is based on more than a decade of research with 50+ published, peer reviewed studies.

We focus on sleep directly rather than the disease, which means people do not have to wait years for regulatory approvals before they can feel day-to-day benefits.

For those curious about learning more, our approach and links to additional research are on our website https://affectablesleep.com .

Does it back up that it increases deep sleep? Just see word salads on the web page and: ”dont ask how it sounds, if it where a pill you wouldnt!”

Just red flags everywhere.

Fair point. To be clear, time in deep sleep does not increase. What increases is delta power, the primary measure researchers use for how restorative deep sleep is. This has been shown in the research, and our technology has been validated by an independent laboratory so that they could use it in their own clinical trial.

On our site we simplify the language. That is partly because of the regulations do not allow us to make clinical claims prior to approval, and partly because explaining the neuroscience in detail would overwhelm most visitors.

I link to the research so those interested can dive in deeper, and that is allowed.
