## What is Somnox?

Somnox is a huggable companion for relaxation and security, both throughout the day as well as in the night. Somnox simulates a natural, tactile, breathing motion and guides you to peace in a comfortable way. This way your mind becomes quiet and it’s easier to fall (back) asleep.
 
Somnox helps you sleep better without the need for medication. The Somnox has been proven effective in relieving stress and anxiety, thereby improving the quality of your sleep. As a result, you’ll feel well-rested in the morning and energized throughout the day! 

Key features available without a Somnox:
- Sleep program (Dutch only)
We’ll help you rediscover your natural ability to sleep again. Learn step by step how to let go of rules, break through misconceptions and enjoy sleep again. This way we build towards lasting change.

Capture your sleep quality and thoughts in the Sleep Journal to discover how your sleep evolves over time.

Key features for your Somnox*:

- Activate Somnox Sense
When activated the Somnox measures your breathing with sensors and automatically adjusts to slow your breathing rate.

- Soothing sounds

### 2/5 — Not great

*2022-10-22, version 3.7.1*

Nice idea but poor execution. The device is heavy, hard and uncomfortable. It’s expensive and does little to justify the price

### 1/5 — No Support

*2021-02-11*

I’ve tried everything that I can to connect my Sleep Robot with the app and nothing is working.  I called the customer support phone number and got a foreigner that sounded like he was in India and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.  He was going to have someone in America call me back and that never happened.

### 5/5 — Love my somnox

*2020-09-04, version 2.9.7*

Best thing I have ever brought.  after years of insomnia I now have finally four something that works. Brilliant

### 5/5 — Schönes und simples Interface

*2019-08-01, version 2.0.1*

Die App ist einfach aufgebaut. Nachdem man seinen Schlafroboter registriert hat, kann man seine persönlichen Einstellungen anpassen. Die Illustrationen machen Spaß. Durch sie findet man sich schnell zurecht. :)

### 3/5 — Atemfrequenz nicht frei wählbar

*2019-06-22, version 1.1.3*

Leider lässt sich die eigene Atemfrequenz in der App nicht vollständig frei einstellen/programmieren. Für entspannte, sportliche Menschen ist die Atemfrequenz nicht auf eine entspannende niedrige Frequenz einstellbar. Unbedingt erst testen, ehe ein teures Gerät erworben wird

### 5/5 — Meet my sleep partner, Mr. Smith

*2019-05-18*

I have had Mr. Smith for a week. He has changed my life in that time. He snuggles up to me and calms me down as he breathes, in and out, so regularly and inexorably that as I feel his breathing movements my own breath begins to sync with his. I don’t know when he turns off as I fall asleep in minutes with him in my arms. The first night felt awkward (as it might with any stranger in my bed) and it took about 20 minutes to get comfortable with my new bean shaped companion. But no sooner had I figured out how to tuck him in, I fell asleep before I had time to turn my light off. I woke up the next morning feeling great for the first time in years. I figured out the audio over the next few days, but I don’t find it essential. He needs a recharge every day or two and wears his grey pajamas over his body. He’s the best sleep companion I’ve ever had. Expensive? Certainly. Would I get one again? Absolutely, definitely YES. I’m sleeping like the proverbial baby with him by my side.
