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 .

Constructive criticism

Your first FAQ answer begins extremely apprehensively. Is that even the number one most frequently asked question? I would suggest heavily revising that answer or getting rid of it completely.

Many devices today support dark mode, such as my S24. The website does not display clearly in this mode.

Thanks for the feedback. You’re right about the first FAQ, it doesn’t read well on mobile and I’ll rework it.

On dark mode, we deliberately avoided it. Most sleep products lean into dark, sleepy visuals, which makes sense if the goal is to help people fall asleep or stay asleep. Our product doesn’t do that, so we are careful not to give the impression that it does, even though sleep is at the center of what we build. Our hope is that the brightness of our brand doesn’t mislead people, or lets us prevent them from misleading themselves.

Does that make sense?

You're describing why your default aesthetic is not dark.

Dark mode however is just an accessibility concept, not really about aesthetics. For some people they work hard to make it aesthetically consistent. But honestly I think dark mode compatibility should not have to be a perfect replication

I agree with this.
