What is Elemind and how does it help you fall asleep faster?
Elemind is Neurotechnology for sleep in a headband that is safe to wear and use every night. Elemind measures EEG brain signals to read and instantly respond to your individual brainwaves and works naturally to direct your brain out of wakeful patterns into deep-sleep on-demand. It helps you fall asleep faster and have deeper, more efficient sleep.
Will Elemind help me fall back to sleep if I wake up in the middle of the night?
With Elemind, you can restart sleep if you wake up. You can tap the “go back to sleep” button in the app to restart your session, or or tap the action button once on the bottom of your headband.
How does Elemind’s neuromodulation work?
Elemind’s patented technology rapidly and accurately measures EEG brain signals and instantly delivers precise acoustic feedback, custom-tailored to your brain’s own natural rhythms. Like a noise cancellation system for the brain, Elemind suppresses the brainwaves that keep you awake and boosts the waves that keep you in deep sleep, quieting your brain and allowing you to fall asleep as fast as the leading pharmaceuticals without the negative side effects.
Is Elemind’s headband comfortable in every sleeping position?
Yes. Elemind’s headband has been constructed with plush fabric and pillowy foam. It’s soft, cushioned, flexible, and is comfortable to wear in every sleeping position - including side and stomach sleepers.
Is Elemind drug free and safe to use every night?
Yes. Elemind uses sound to help accelerate sleep onset, which is both chemical free and safe to use for any length of time.
Is Elemind clinically studied?
Elemind is backed by 5 years of clinical studies and published clinical trials. It is clinically proven to help you fall asleep up to 74% faster, and restart sleep fast if you wake up. It is also clinically proven to help you fall asleep as fast as the leading sleep drugs, without the negative side effects.
Who is in control of the Elemind headband?
You as the user are in full control of the Elemind headband. You can start and stop your session at any time.
What are Elemind's sleep sounds and what do they do? Are they audible to others that I might be sleeping next to?
Unlike other wearable sleep devices, Elemind is not using sound to calm you or lull you into sleep. Instead, acoustic waves are being used to intercept your brainwaves at precise times to move your waves from wakeful to restful patterns. Elemind’s acoustic signals are delivered via bone conduction transducers on the forehead, and are only audible to the person wearing the headband. Elemind’s acoustic waves will shut off once you are asleep.
How does Elemind leverage AI?
Elemind’s breakthrough algorithm is enhanced by AI to track and customize around your brain’s unique wave pattern. It learns about your sleep and actively adjusts to optimize your sleep. The more you sleep with Elemind, the more customized your experience will be.
Is my data private?
Yes. Any data we collect is used to provide you with insights into your own health, whether now or in the future. Elemind does not sell personally identified information to third parties. All data collected will be anonymized and kept private. We also always give our users the agency to opt in or out of data collection.
Can I wear an eye mask with Elemind?
Yes, but be sure to wear it over your Elemind headband as opposed to under it. The headband uses EEG technology to detect your brainwaves through skin contact - so maintaining skin contact between the headband and your skin is paramount. Feel free to wear any eye mask OVER your headband, provided you are maintaining contact between the headband and your skin.
Who can use Elemind?
- Elemind is intended for individuals ages 13 and older who want to enhance their sleep performance naturally.
- Elemind’s product has an auditory component and at this time, will not function effectively for people who are severely hearing impaired. For Elemind to work, you need to be able to hear the subtle audio waves it delivers.
- Please consult your physician if you have any questions on the safety and use of neurostimulation with any other pre-existing medical conditions.
Can I wear Elemind with earplugs?
Yes. Elemind’s sound is transmitted through the forehead, so you’ll be able to hear it even with earplugs in.
Can I listen to music or watch TV while wearing Elemind?
No. For Elemind to work, there must be no TV or music on in the background. If you’re in a noisy environment (like an airplane) and this is unavoidable, wear earplugs.
Can I wear Elemind on a plane?
Yes, but we recommend you wear earplugs or noise-canceling earbuds simultaneously so that you can hear Elemind’s quiet acoustic stimulation over the sound of the plane, through the bone conduction transducer on the forehead.
Can I use Elemind to nap?
Yes. Elemind can be used to fall asleep at any time of day or night, but works best when you are tired and actively trying to sleep or nap.
Do I have to wear the headband the entire night?
No. If you find yourself waking up in the middle of night and don’t feel the need to use it to go back to sleep, feel free to take it off. The headband will automatically stop processing your sleep data.
Keep in mind that stopping the sleep data processing will mean your reported Sleep Score will not represent your entire night of sleep. The headband can only score your sleep when it’s on your head.
Will Elemind fit my head?
Elemind is designed to fit greater than the smallest 1% of female head sizes and less than the largest 99% of male head sizes (between 46 cm to 66cm circumference). Elemind’s headband is adjustable, and comes with a small, medium, and large strap to fit the vast majority of head shapes and sizes.
