Sleeping with your Sleep Robot
Preparing for bed
To prepare for a good night’s rest with the Sleep Robot, make sure the battery is sufficiently
charged. We recommend using the Sleep Robot as part of your bedtime ritual, starting about
one hour before going to bed so you can wind down after a busy day. Try to adhere to a
consistent sleep routine, wherein you can take the following tips in mind:
●
One to two hours before going to bed, dim the lights in your home environment. Don’t
use any electronic devices with screens in this period before going to bed, since it will
keep you alert.
●
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This will help your body and mind
to get used to a certain day-night rhythm, leading to faster sleep onset and easier
wake up.
●
Do a breathing exercise or take a moment of relaxation with your Sleep Robot before
going to bed. Being calm before going to bed has a positive effect on your sleep
onset and sleep quality.
●
Read more sleep hygiene tips in the guide you can find in the mobile application.
Since the Sleep Robot is not a one-stop solution, we encourage you to make use of our
in-app guidance or information on our website to learn more about its usage and a good
sleep hygiene.
Positioning
The best way to sleep with the Sleep Robot, is in whatever position feels comfortable for you.
There is not one specific position that works for everyone. To feel (and/or hear) the breathing
movement, you can either position the breathing towards your body, or just place your hand
on it.
Note
:
for the automatic synchronized breathing feature, the Sleep Robot must be placed to
your belly or chest. Read more in the next section.
We recommend you to experiment and try to find what feels comfortable for you. We give you
some sleep position examples below.
Side sleepers: You can ‘spoon’ with the Sleep Robot. This way, you can feel the breathing
simulation against your hand. You can also place the breathing area against your belly: find
out what feels comfortable to you.
Back sleepers: You may find the Sleep Robot too heavy to place on your chest. In that case,
you can place the Sleep Robot next to you and find a position in which you can still feel the
breathing movement.
Stomach sleepers: Move around a little until you find a position in which you’re comfortable
and feel the breathing simulation.
