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 .

Was really interested in this until I saw it was another static hardware product with a subscription as if it were a service.

If the toilet was invented today, plumbers would all be telling us how $1/shit is a steal.

Great incentive to hack it open (like people did with eight sleep) or use prior art for an open source version.

Theres foss EEG machines already. $300ish to buy a fully working "same device as The FDA version just sans-certification."

Much less if you want to build it yourself.
