We are all aware of what it’s like to have your mind feel tired yet simultaneously wide awake. In an age of the 24-hour news cycle and endless social media feeds, it’s not too uncommon to have your head hit the pillow at night and find yourself unable to fall asleep. For the majority of us who need to get up for work or school, these sleepless nights can be crushing and can have a major impact on our health.
Before exposing yourself to the grogginess and side effects of sleeping pills, consider a safe, non-invasive, approach to communicating with your nervous system. For example, the Apollo wearable uses touch therapy to send silent, soothing vibrations into your body to help you communicate when it’s time to focus, relax, and fall asleep. So while reading a book or scrolling doesn’t always make you sleepy enough to fall asleep, the Apollo can send a more subtle, direct message to your subconscious, lulling you into a deep, restorative sleep. The research team at Apollo Neuro launched a real-world sleep study with over 500 users and has found that the Apollo wearable can deliver an additional 30 minutes of sleep per night and provides a 19% average increase in deep sleep.
You can wear the Apollo wearable on your wrist, ankle, or as a clip attached to your clothing. The wearable works with a mobile app downloaded to your smartphone, and from there, you can set it to different modes for things like relaxation, focus, recovery, and, of course, sleep.
To test your Apollo wearable and its ability to help you doze off easier, try setting it to Relax and Unwind around an hour before you want to go to bed, like when you’re putting the kids down, watching television, or brushing your teeth. You can set it to the duration and intensity (from 0 to 100 percent) of your choosing. Then when it’s bedtime, you can set your Apollo wearable to Sleep & Renew, to help you fall asleep, and more importantly stay asleep. Apollo’s scientifically validated technology delivers gentle vibrations to the body that restore balance to the nervous system.
In addition to the real-world sleep study, the Apollo wearable has undergone six completed clinical trials and is undergoing nine more at the moment. Across the board, subjects have shown clear improvements in their ability to fall asleep and quality of rest. In addition, the wearable has also been shown to help improve focus, calm, recovery, and heart rate variability (HRV).
The Apollo Neuro is recommended by 96 percent of reviewers on its website. A recent five-star write-up reads, “I was dealing with intense periods of stress at work and I was having difficulty falling and staying asleep. I have been using the device daily for almost two months and I have noticed a marked improvement in both sleep as well as my ability to cope with stress at work.”
