I was having serieus problems getting good and enough sleep

I was having serieus problems getting enough sleep as of the beginning of 2020. It started as of the first Corona year. I already hear about the Somnox about a year ago and was getting more and more frustrated. 2 months ago I took some action and bought the Somnox 2. In a week I already improved my sleep. And within 2 weeks I felt better during the day. More energy for work and friends! If I want to take some rest during the day I love using Somnox2:-)!. It realy helps me to relax!!

From sceptic to biggest fan

I was a little sceptical beforehand, because I couldn't imagine how the Somnox 2 could help me. I have had trouble sleeping for many years: I fell asleep way past midnight, woke up after a few hours and couldn't sleep anymore from all the thoughts racing through my head. Two years ago, I tried a weighted blanket. That helped me sleep, but also gave me terrible nightmares, right from day 1, but because I did sleep, I kept it for 1,5 years. I woke up screaming like three times a night. The nightmares stayed, so at one point I tried to sleep without the blanket, expecting the nightmares to go away again, but they didn't! Weeks passed, no change, they even seemed to get worse. When I fell out of bed during a nightmare, I decided to buy the Somnox. Immediately the nightmares went away! I couldn't believe it. After two days I tried to sleep without it, and I got a nightmare again! Since then I've slept with the Somnox for a few weeks and never had a nightmare since. The best way for me is holding the breathing side of the Somnox against my body, so I can feel it. I also fall asleep way sooner than normal, before midnight. I think it guides me into a healthy sleep somehow. It's just magical!

Amazing pillow, but

Amazing pillow, very very useful for people with anxiety or insomnia. Breathes and plays music. However, it breathes a bit too fast to follow along with when having a panic attack, there is only one setting, and sometimes it shuts off on its own so you won’t get music the entire night.

I’m verry happy with the Somnox 2

I’m verry happy with the Somnox 2. I have complex PTSD and very heavy EMDR sessions. I’m so happy to have a robot that makes me calm and let me letterly breath. It works to get sleep calmly and in the night it calms me down when i have nightmares. In the day i chill a moment to calm down.

I reccomend the trauma centers and my clients (I’m a healthcare worker too) this robot as an good envestment for selfceare and a good help in the way to get beter.

Life changing!

This device has exceeded all my wildest dreams. It’s absolutely amazing. I was having such trouble getting to sleep, and then getting back to sleep when awoken in the middle of the night. Now I just grab my Somnox, put on the thunder sounds, hug it and I’m asleep in minutes. It’s so soothing. I’m so glad I finally took the chance and ordered it. The price scared me at first, but it’s worth every cent!

Pleasantly Surprised

I am pleasantly surprised with the effects of using my Somnox. I have better quality sleep with less use of sleeping pills. I sleep throughout the night and no longer wake up several times. I did find it takes a while to get use to using, but once you do it is effortless. I have also used Somnox to calm me down from a panic attack. It was a nice distraction and I never realized how shallow my breathing was during a panic attack. The only issue I really have is I am not a fan of the outer cover. I wish it was a soft cotton or bamboo. That is a simple fix though. 🙂 All things considered, I highly recommend trying Somnox.

I was suffering from insomnia for months. One night I was looking for a solution and I remembered reading about Somnox. I ordered one right away after reading all the good reviews, I within a couple of days my sleeping improved significantly and nowadays I sleep like a baby again :)

Sonox 2 (Sjefke) is the best.

The Somnox 2 is the best bedpartner you can imagine. The breathing ritme of the Sonox makes me sleepy, it works very well. I named him Sjefke.
Sjefke is more important for me to sleep then my own husband.
My English is not oké, but I hope you understand.

Great product!

I ordered the Somnox 2 a couple of months ago. I have had trouble sleeping for years. I have used every over the counter sleep aid and supplement I have come across with frustrating results. I noticed an almost immediate improvement getting to sleep and feeling like I am getting better quality sleep with this product. It is also helpful during the day when I need to relax and destress. I hesitated to purchase because of the price. I have zero regrets with this purchase. Customer service is excellent. I did experience an issue with the product. Bo responded quickly and had the issue resolved in a matter of days.

Great!

At first I was a little bit skeptical so I was very happy that there was a try-out for 30 days. During the nights I use my smartwatch to monitor my sleep cycle. Within two days I saw a positive difference and after a weeks I felt less tired wakin up. I also find the service very good! The only thing why I'm not giving 5 stars is because I hoped I could listen to podcast and music but that's still only available on Iphone, not for Android. But I think they are developing it, so I'm looking forward to it!

I sleep better, glad I tried the Somnox 2

I have been using the Somnox 2 every night for the past month. I love the solid shape and tactile cover. It is comforting to 'cuddle' the Somnox and feel it gently breathing. The 'perfect' setting varies for me I find, but I can easily adapt. It was not immediately clear to me if I needed to have my smartphone near all the time so I asked costumer service. Turns out you need not: once you set it, it is okay until you adapt again. Also, I use the Somnox 2 for a breathing exercise after lunch every day.

And yes, the Somnox 2 improved my sleep. Ofcourse it is not a magic solution, nothing is, But overall I have far better nights. Using the Somnox has made me more aware of my breathing, and the exercise during the day is a great moment to consciously focus and relax.

Having a 30-day trial period helped me to decide to give it a try - I don't think I would have ordered the Somnox otherwise. Price is an issue, at least for me, but I am glad I tried. My Somnox is now firmly embedded in my daily routine.

Better sleep

Door hormonaalbepaalde stress pieken slaap ik soms nachten niet. Dankzij Somnox 2 is dit aanzienlijk verbeterd en lijken ook mijn andere lichamelijke problemen minder te worden. Vooral omdat mijn chronische hyperventilatie is afgenomen als ik de Somnox ook overdag gebruik.

Nog even over de fantastische service van het bedrijf. Na 3 dagen bleek er een foutje in het apparaat te zitten waardoor die niet meer de ademende beweging kon maken. Op zaterdags heb ik een bericht gestuurd en maandagochtend had ik al bericht dat ze een nieuwe zouden sturen en een retourlabel om de kapotte terug te sturen. Dinsdags was de nieuwe al binnen terwijl de oude nog niet was teruggestuurd.

For English:
Because of hormonally determined stress peaks sometimes I don't sleep at night. Thanks to somnox 2 this has improved considerably and my other physical problems seem to be getting better too. Especially because my chronic hyperventilation has decreased when I also use the somnox during the day.

Let's talk about the fantastic service of the company. After 3 days it turned out that there was a mistake in the device that prevented it from making the breathing movement. On Saturday I sent a message and on Monday morning I already had a message that they would send a new one and a return label to return the broken one. On Tuesday the new one had already arrived while the old one had not yet been returned.

Out of comfort zone, but now convinced

I have a busy live with work, family and exercise and I'm too impatient to do any meditation. Yoga works on my nerves. Although I had seen Somnox some time ago when looking into how I could sleep better, I figured its focus on breathing is meditation-like and wouldn't work for me.

After another month of bad sleeping, which is so customary, I was hopeless. Then I figured there isn't much to lose with Somnox. I can try a month and return it if it doesn't work. Totally out of my comfort zone I bought it and tried sleeping with it. I do have to admit that it felt weird for the first week, but decided that if I didn't give it a proper try, I may as well not have ordered it.

After that week, I noticed I had fallen asleep much sooner (most of the times in less than 20-30min) than regularly (would lie awake for hours). After having used Somnox for some 6 weeks now, I noticed that I fall asleep much sooner for about 5-6 nights a week. The other nights there's usually something else going on. I sleep longer on average, but not up to desired length yet. That has various reasons, kids waking me up in the morning (so hard stop to increased sleeping time), or awaking early for other reasons even though I'd like to sleep longer. In those cases I find that the 4-7-8 breathing sequence works quite some times, but there's definitely more to work on.

Somnox taught me that I can have more of a say over my sleep that I initially thought. It goes without saying that I kept the Somnox, and most telling about how I changed my view: when we travelled over the summer holidays I brought it with me. I also feel there's more to learn with it, and I'm only in the beginning of this new undiscovered path.

Comfort through Grief and Loss

Yesterday, my Crimson Heart urn arrived. It's beautiful and perfect in every way! ❤
I will put it into my Somnox, which simulates breathing with relaxing music to help me calm my breathing to fall asleep without drugs. It also gives me something tangible to hold, as though I am holding my late husband Aaron, feeling him breathe. I'm going to have a cover made for my Somnox from the shirt he wore when he took me out for my 60th birthday, which was his last photo taken alive.

What a good investment!

What a good investment!

Since a month I use, on the advice of a sleep therapist, the Somnox. I am a bad sleeper and fall asleep badly after waking up in the night. The Somnox makes me calm and relaxed, it is special to experience that I immediately go along with the set breathing of the Somnox. I notice that I fall asleep much faster and also stay asleep much longer. Some nights I only wake up 1x!
The aftersale of the company is also perfect. Telephone advice or via e-mail, everything goes quickly and neatly. After a month I had a problem with my Somnox, it was exchanged immediately and at no cost.
I can recommend the Somnox to anyone who wants to relax and sleep .

Not doing what I had hoped it would

I am recently divorced so having the feeling of someone breathing next to me is really comforting.
However, I have yet to notice if it is helping slow my respiratory rate. That’s why I bought it. I have been through a long journey with a breathing disorder and have a respiratory rate of about 17-18 breaths per minute. I’m curious how long it will take for this to actually make a change? I even tape at night. I consciously practice slow breathing during the day, but it’s still really challenging for my nervous system to slow down, apparently.
By the time I figure it out it will be too late to return what has turned out to be a very expensive human substitute….

Somnox never departing my side.

I know from using the Somnox. What has been sleepless nights in the past has become sleeping with a friend. A friend that is comforting, staying by my side in rhythm with my breathing. Somnox is a true miracle.

De Somnox 2, een geweldige uitvinding en het werkt echt!

Na een ernstig auto-ongeluk met ernstig hersenletsel is onze zoon na 6 weken ontwaakt uit coma. Door het hersentrauma sliep hij geen nacht door. De vele (slaap) medicatie hielp ook niet. Wat uiteindelijk wel geholpen heeft is de aanschaf van de Somnox 2. vanaf dag 1, sliep hij goed in en DOOR! Na twee maanden gebruik van Somnox heeft hij geen NACHT meer slecht geslapen. Het is werkelijk een fantastische uitvinding die ik iedereen van harte kan aanbevelen!

After a serious car accident with serious brain injury, our son woke up from a coma after 6 weeks. Because of the brain trauma, he did not sleep through the night. The many (sleep) medications did not help either. What ultimately helped is the purchase of the Somnox 2. from day 1, he slept well in and THROUGH! After two months of using Somnox, he has not slept badly a NIGHT. It really is a fantastic invention that I can wholeheartedly recommend to everyone!
