Game Changer

I have had problems with insomnia for years and decided to try the Somnex. I love it! It's shape is very easy to hold. The breathing helps me to slow down my own breathing and fall asleep. I also like that it has different sound programs that you can set. up to play on the device. I spoke with one of the sleep produced specialists which was very helpful. There are very thorough instructions and good customer support. I am so happy I got this product as it is making a big difference in my sleep without medications.

Good support

I bought the somnox 2 months ago for my 9 year old son (ligt form of autism). It still requires some discipline / practice to use it. But it works. We have less trouble getting him to sleep. The somnox is a sort of trusted partner that supports us as parents. My son is font of his Somnox. It is like his stuffed animals always in his bed.

One of the best purchases i've made in a long time!

One of the best purchases i've made in a long time. Before somnox I had real difficulties in getting to sleep, (being awake for 3-4 hours before falling asleep) relaxing during the day and overall lack of sleep. Since i bought somnox (after 2-3 weeks of using) I started to fall asleep within 20 minutes. It has helped my quality of sleep and stress tremendously.

10/10 would recommend to anyone!
We are looking into buying one for the rest of the family as well

Somnox 2 or Barbapapa....!

I've been sleeping badly for years. Tried everything, pills, meditation etc etc). No success. Until a colleague from work pointed me to the Somnox sleep robot. Was skeptical, would this be the solution for my sleeping problems? On the Somnox site I saw that an improved, second version of the robot had already been released on the market: Somnox 2, price €549. Still a decent expense. What convinced me was the 30 night probationary period, so I thought, Why not!! Ordered immediately, delivered the next day. First noticed after unpacking: looks beautiful, but the Somnox immediately reminded me of something, but what .... at that time I did not know how important this would become for me .... What is also striking: professional guidance, instructional videos (you tube), pleasant guidance via email or direct contact. First charge robot. Couldn't wait to try the Somnox! Download the app in advance: among other things, give a name to the robot.... then Robot2, I didn't know anything better.... Unfortunately no improvement in sleep the first time, I even found the robot irritating: sound, movements. Until I used the robot once during the day for meditation and then I suddenly knew: Barbapapa!!: the robot reminded me of Barbapapa. Immediately entered this name in the app instead of Robot 2. And that was exactly the push I apparently needed: the sleep robot turned into my personal sleeping buddy!! From then on my sleep improved. The 30 day probation period was almost over and it became clear to me, This is fantastic, I keep my Somnox 2, sleep better, deeper if you just give it some time to get used to it!! Finally sleeping again!! Conclusion: nowadays I sleep through the night thanks to Barbapapa (a little) and Somnox 2 (a lot). Thanks!

Love the Breathing preference program

I think it would be very useful if I fully utilize my own breathing preference. It was not easy to find the information but finally I could find the detailed information in English with the aid of Customer service team. Hope to have more and better quality sounds for sleep, rest, meditation etc. Believe Somnox team will constantly update the program. I am impressed by Customer service team of Somnox. They are ready to help for any questions or problems.

from brain to breath

I use Somnox 2. It takes some time getting used to it, but it helps me to shift my attention from my brain to my breath. Especially the breathing exercises help me to go to sleep relaxed ('4-7-8' does the trick for me). I am still discovering what else I like and find helpful.

Bought this for my wife

Bought this for my wife. This is her feedback about the present.

Great relaxation buddy

I have used my Somnox 2 for a few weeks and it has been a great experience. The Somnox 2 is easy to use, provides relaxing sounds, and most importantly, the breathing motion does help me relax. I use it when I’m reading, watching tv, and when I’m sleeping. I took 1 star away because the instructions don’t quite explain every about how to use it, there are some areas that can me improved, and there are some peculiarities, such as - after it auto shuts off, you cannot charge it. You have to turn it on, then off, only the will you be able to charge it. Areas of improvement: I’d like to easily stream music from other meditation apps. I’d also like the app would allow us to choose to keep it on longer than 2 hours - let us choose to keep it on up to 8 hours. Overall, it’s a great product that is effective in helping me relax and it’s becoming part of my bedtime routine.

Excellent product, well worth the price

I have been eagerly waiting for the Somnox to be available in the US! I purchased the Somnox for a friend, and we have not been disappointed. It is the perfect shape, size, and weight. The speaker directs the sound towards the primary user and even at louder volumes is quiet or barely audible to others. The rise and fall of the "breath" is easily felt and calming.

This is a brilliant product that will help so many people.

I experienced some confusion during shipping / delivery and customer support was extremely helpful, prompt, and professional.

Somnox 2 helps me sleep and relax better.

Somnox 2 helps me sleep and relax better.
I am very happy with the Somnox 2. Since my childhood I have had sleeping problems where I have trouble falling asleep, wake up a lot at night and then lie awake and can't fall back to sleep. In addition, I am a worrier and it is difficult for me to stop my (negative) thoughts. I've been following Somnox for a long time since the prototype came out.
I was enthusiastic about the concept of the sleep robot right from the start, but it was mainly the price that stopped me from purchasing the sleep robot.
Finally I took the plunge and I am over the moon with my Peanut (as I called my robot :-).
Peanut helps me not to get stuck in worrying when I'm just in bed. The robot's breathing in combination with a soft snore ensures that I focus on that instead of on my thoughts. It is not a miracle robot so I have to force myself to focus on this but that is very easy. It's not like turning on Peanut makes me fall asleep right away. I lie down very consciously and concentrate on the breathing and the sound of the robot. And in no time I fall asleep. The robot also does not ensure that I never wake up at night, but it does help me fall asleep quickly again and not lie awake so that I can start worrying again. And especially in the latter I see a huge improvement. Now when I wake up at night I turn on Peanut and fall asleep again in no time. I recommend the robot to people who sleep restlessly, who worry, lie awake and who want an overall improvement in their sleep. It is an expensive investment, but I think it is well worth the money and I can no longer do without it. In addition, you can try the sleep robot for 30 days without obligation and Somnox will help you in every possible way to find the right ways to improve your sleep. And you certainly need a few weeks to get used to the robot. It doesn't feel natural at first, but within 2 weeks I had found a way to lie comfortably with the robot in all possible sleeping positions. I read in an earlier review that someone suggested that stomach sleepers could get used to it less easily, but I can argue with that. The only difference is that instead of holding the robot, I place it against my arm or shoulder. The effect of the breathing and the sound work for me exactly the same as when I lie on my side. I change positions quite a bit so it took some getting used to in the beginning but in the end I can sleep well with my Peanut in every position.
As an extra, the Somnox 2 also has all kinds of meditation and relaxation functions with music, sounds and you can regulate this and the breathing in all possible ways via an app. That is why I also use my Peanut when I experience tension, stress or unrest. Just on the couch in front of the TV and during meditation. It then helps me to relax and get out of (negative) worrying thoughts.
Let me emphasize again that Somnox 2 is not a miracle robot that will take away all your worries and problems, but it will certainly help you to bring peace and regularity into your life when it comes to relaxing and sleeping. And that is priceless to me.
I would like to inform the makers that Somnox 2 is fairly large and heavy to take with you on a trip. I would love to have a Pocket Peanut. A small travel version that I can take with me in my suitcase. Hopefully this can be made possible in the future.

Great product to fall asleep easier

It took me some time to get used to sleeping with the Somnox. Especially simultaneously inhaling and exhaling felt unnatural at the beginning. Now that I got used to the robot, it really helps to sleep better. I used to worry a lot which prevented me from falling asleep. Focussing on the physical robot helps me to stop worrying and reduces the time to fall asleep.

I loved the somnox 2

I loved the somnox 2. It was a perfect weight and calming to hold. I like the new size of the newer model. Possibly an even bigger pillow could be better for someone my size. I would easily recommend this product to anyone struggling with sleep.

Heel blij met mijn “slaap-ei”

Ik ben heel blij met mijn Somnox, die ik liefkozend “mijn slaap-ei) noem. Ik lag hiervoor bijna elke nacht wel een poos te luisteren naar een Podcast of luisterboek, maar sinds ik de Somnox heb doe ik dat niet meer. De meeste nachten slaap ik echt beter en meer uren. Sommige nachten kom ik nog steeds niet zo makkelijk in slaap, maar dan voel ik me toch rustiger door de Somnox.
Ik zou graag willen instellen dat er een pauze is tussen in- en uitademing. Dat kan wel bij de oefeningen, maar niet in de stand waarin het ademtempo steeds lager wordt.

I am very happy with my Somnox, which I affectionately call "my sleeping egg". Before I had him, I would lay listening to a Podcast or audio book for a while almost every night, but since I have the Somnox I don't do that anymore. Most nights I really do sleep better and more hours. Some nights I still don't fall asleep easily, but then I feel calmer because of the Somnox.
I would like to set that there is a pause between inhalation and exhalation. I can do that with the exercises, but not in the mode where the breathing rate gets lower and lower.

Calming sleepingbuddy

The Somnox team is very friendly and it's nice that you can easily contact them if you have any questions (before and after you purchase Somnox).
I often struggled to fall asleep at night the past years and sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and weren't able to fall asleep again. Now that I have Somnox, I sleep a lot better. And even if I don't fall asleep as fast as I would like sometimes, I find it very calming to breath and cuddle with Somnox. I'm looking forward to the app-update, so that it is possible to stream music/podcasts through Somnox. That would make it even better!

Somnox was and is a life saver!

Somnox was and is a life saver. I have suffered with insomnia for over 5 years,have taken all different types of medication but nothing worked until I stumbled across Somnox on one of my many internet searches for ways to help me sleep. Somnox wasn't available in the United States yet but I found a single post on Ebay for a Somnox 1 and had to buy it. To make a long story short I fell in love with it! I simply can not sleep without it! Then I got the email about Somnox 2 becoming available for purchase in the United States and I had to get that one also. My baby bean (is what I call it) has tremdously improved my insomnia as I have trouble staying asleep for more then 4 hours, I just roll over grab my baby bean turn it on and it lulls me back to sleep, I truly wouldn't know what to do without it!

As a very difficult sleeper I was surprised...

As an extreme difficult sleeper I was pleasantly surprised that the Somnox 2 was helping me sleep better as I already tried so many methods over the years. Not at first though, and it took me almost 4 weeks to get used to it and my sleep to improve. And it is still improving gradually as I speak, so I'm happy! For me Somnox 2 is a keeper. ;-) I don't toss and turn as often as I used to and I even wake up less times at night. The improvement was better in combination with breathing excercises.

Een echte verademing.

Na jaren lang slecht slapen, en steeds hogere dosis slaapmedicatie, wist ik dat er iets anders nodig was.
Toen kwam ik de Somnox 2 tegen. Ik was er best sceptisch over maar had het idee dat ik alles aan zou pakken om weer goede nachten slaap te krijgen.
En wat een verademing is dit. Voor het eerst in jaren slaap ik weer normaal. Ik val snel in slaap. Mocht ik snachts even wakker worden zet ik de Somnox 2 weer even aan en ben ik zo weer weg. Het gaat zo goed dat ik mijn slaapmedicatie aan het afbouwen bent. Momenteel al 75% van de medicijnen minder en ik slaap zonder problemen 8 uur per nacht.

Naast slaapproblemen heb ik ook last van paniek aanvallen. Ook hierbij komt de Somnox goed van pas. Als ik een paniekaanval aan voel komen pak ik de Somnox en doe ik een ademhalingsoefening. Ook hierdoor hoef ik minder medicijnen in te nemen.

De Somnox heeft mijn leven dus enorm verbeterd! Ik raad het iedereen met slaapproblemen aan. Stukken gezonder dan al die slaapmedicatie.

English;

After years of sleeping problems, and loads of sleep medication (that kept becoming more and more and still didn't get me a good night's sleep) I started looking for alternatives.
When I read about the somnox 2, I was a little scaptical. But I thought, it's worth a shot.
And what a relief it is. For the first time in years I'm sleeping well again. I'm already off of 75% of my sleep medication (and still lowering the dosage every week) and still sleep better than before. I fall asleep so much faster now. And when I wake up in the middle of the night I just put the Somnox 2 on again and fall a sleep again soon.

I also have anxiety attacks. Here's where the somnox 2 comes in handy too. When I start to feel panicked I get the somnox, I do relaxing breath exercises with it. And I feel myself calming down. This also makes me having less needs for medication.

The Somnox 2 had changed my life for the better. I wish I had found this sooner. I recommend it to everyone that has a sleeping- or anxiety disorder. This is so much better than all those medication!

Surprising results!

The somnox 2 really helped me to improve my sleep. Since my teenage years I struggle with insomnia. Even sleeping medication would not help me enough. I am surprised by the effect of the Somnox 2. It feels comforting to hold it and feel the 'breath' of the somnox. You can also choose a variety of calming music.

I still wake up in the early morning every other night, but then I turn on the Somnox again and fall back asleep.
It is quite an investment but a good sleep is definitely worth it!
