It’s really hard to find reviews for this thing
I tried to look everywhere for reviews on this thing (honest ones) so here it goes:
Overall, it is like $300 for the headband and $18 per month for the subscription and there is no way to use this thing without the subscription.
The customer support is pretty quick to respond but they beat around the bush when answering questions and often do not give direct answers.
Pros:
*I noticed a slight improvement in my sleep. It did not cure my insomnia but I was able to get some relief, I believe from this thing.
One thing is for sure: you have to do work on your nervous system also and can’t rely i. This device or any other wearable for that matter if you aren’t also doing things to help yourself, like exercise and regulating your nervous system.
Cons:
*There is no way around the subscription if you want to use the device and get new electrodes (supposedly have to switch them every few days)- honestly I think that part is a gimmick.
*The device/app is super buggy, and there are definitely times where I have been unable to use it as a result. The app is not reliable.
*When I had trouble with it, I would try to fix it and test it before I was ready for bed which was a huge mistake because it will time you out for 12 hours and it cant can’t tell that the device is not actually on your head, so I think the “reading your brain waves” is not real since it couldn’t even tell it wasn’t on my head.
Overall, I have severe insomnia and I use this in conjunction with a lot of other things: alpha stim, infrared sauna, supplements like ashwaganda, melatonin, etc. and I do believe it has provided some relief or at least not hurt. I love my body outside everyday and do my best to have other healthy habits in conjunction with this.
I would not pay full price for it, however, and recommend getting the headband on eBay or something like that.
I really dislike being forced to use the subscription.

Scars aren’t worth the sleep
I’ve been using Somnee, since it was first released. The product does what it claims to do. However, I found myself with a stockpile of patches for the device, and after sometime started to get burn wounds and scarring on my forehead, where the device touched my forehead. They recently updated where you can reduce, or increase the intensity of the device which I set to the lowest setting yet still was experiencing wounds and scarring. I really wished this would work, but I don’t want to risk permanently scarring my appearance in the quest for a restful night sleep.

Great solution for better night sleep!
I have been having sleep issues for quite some time now, Somnee has provided me with a solution to my constant troubles to fall asleep, the app is easy to use and navigate. Wished there was an easier way connect with support, but they are definitely in the right track.
Great results
I’ve been using Somnee for a couple months now and it’s made a huge difference in the time it takes to fall asleep and waking up feeling refreshed. I was skeptical at first but have been surprised and happy with the results.
So far, so good
I was skeptical at first since I wear a CPAP when I sleep, but the two products actually work well together! The best part about Somnee is that it only takes 15 mins to get all the benefits. I‘ve been falling asleep faster and waking up with more energy in the morning. It’s definitely worth the investment!

only wearable improving my sleep
I want to start by saying this is the only wearable that has positively impacted my deep sleep. I honestly was going to return the headband and after 3 days of not wearing it I noticed my deep sleep on my oura and Apple Watch tank to my usual 20-40 min max. With the Somnee I get about 1-1:20 min a night. This has never happened before wearing the Somnee. That is in a 2 year time frame with my oura ring. Furthermore, I got to say their team is extremely involved. I was having issues with my headband and after reaching out Ashwati one of the engineers reached out and help me troubleshoot and fix the issues. The product is not perfect but that is totally fine as it is the first iteration. But it delivers on its promise. I am big fan of Somnee and I will be definitely promoting them with any friends or acquaintances with sleep difficulties….im looking forward to feature updates :) hopefully soon the my will track sleep stages so that the sleep stimulation can have real feedback of the night sleep instead of a post session reading. Which most times doesn’t correlate with the sleep quality on the following night.

Somnee is life-changing
I can't believe I'm able to sleep through the night! I’m 70 years old and have always struggled with anxiety. I used to wake up 4-5 times and not be able to go back to bed. Now, I sleep like a baby.
Love the results so far!
I have had sleep issues since my college days, I have not been able to find a solution until Somnee came along, love the product and the app, it is simple, and easy to use. Only feedback is an easier way to update payment, other than that, it’s been a godsend.
Somnee
I love this device. It has shortened my falling asleep time immeasurably. Also, when an issue comes up that I need help on, I email customer support and receive an immediate response and the issue is always solved. I have never dealt with an app that has better customer service.

App is extremely buggy and data useless
Sleep tracking? Yeah, apparently they decided that you have to wait until finishing your NEXT sleep cycle to view the previous days data. Absolutely useless.
App is very buggy overall and actually prevented me from using the headband the first night because it was in “cool down mode”. Seriously? Wth kind of design decision is that..
Can’t say it’s done anything for me other than cause frustration when trying to go to sleep because of the app. Will be returning my unit soon, great idea just horribly implemented… especially for the steep price.
