The Science Behind Somnee

7 years of R&D.

4 of the world’s
leading neuroscientists.

1 major breakthrough.

In 2017, four UC Berkeley neuroscientists set out on a mission to transform how we sleep. 7 years, 1000s of nights of data, and a peer-reviewed study later, Somnee was born — a first-of-its-kind sleep wearable that strengthens your brain's natural sleep ability, night after night.

OUR SECRET SAUCE

Dynamic AI/ML-Powered Personalization

Somnee improves sleep quality by delivering gentle electrical signals personalized to your brain. These gentle signals nudge your brainwaves into their optimal rhythms for deeper, more restorative rest.

Our Breakthrough

After testing auditory, tactile, and visual stimulation for better sleep, Somnee’s science team found our breakthrough: 

Carefully timed, gentle electrical pulses, personalized to your brain's sleep signals. Amazingly, our team found that this approach didn’t just help people fall asleep faster... It actively strengthened deep sleep brainwaves, reduced wake-ups by 33%, and increased total sleep time by nearly 30 minutes on average.
