Sleep Instrument,Brain Massage Adjust Heart Rate,Headache Focus Attention,Small and Easy to Carry,Improve Deep Sleep (Purple)

I FREAKING LOVE THIS THING!! I have ADHD and anxiety insomnia and go for weeks without real sleep because I am unable to silence the noise in my head. I kept seeing Facebook ads for a related product and of course came to Amazon to find something similar. It acts like a tens unit and some people find the shocks uncomfortable. I have found as long as my hand is dry and not sweaty it is not unbearable. I use setting 2 and the shocks redirect my focus and I have never fallen asleep so fast and at ease. If your situation is similar I 100% recommend giving it a try because it’s pretty life changing for me to sleep 3 full nights in a row.The only thing I have found that I can complain about it is that it takes the older style charger (comes with it so not that big of a deal but everything else is a C nowadays) and I wish the buttons were on the other side for easier use/adjustment when using left handed.

TL; DR: It didn’t work for me, and the directions are horribly written/translated. Returned!I can usually decipher poorly translated directions, but I had to read this twice, and I’m still not sure I understand. Hold it in your left hand near your earlobe to go to sleep and hold it in your right hand if you’re depressed and you want to feel happier?They *really* need to pay somebody to better translate their directions! Also, the review process prompted me to rate their mobile app, but the pamphlet in the box didn’t mention one. Not sure what that’s about.I haven’t finished charging it yet, but the horribly worded directions prompted me to leave this two-star review. If I can’t understand the directions, how will I be able to use it?It also says on the pamphlet in the box not to use it if you have other electrical devices implanted, such as a pacemaker. Perhaps those people would already know not to do that, but I think the seller should have that warning on the Amazon product description, if they haven’t already included that.I’m not hopeful, assuming the directions are any indication.The pamphlet refers to CES therapy, which has the word “cranium” in it. How is this little device related to that? Is CES similar to or the same thing as TMS? TMS is a highly technical procedure that requires training to administer and is applied directly to the skull. How would CES have the word Cranium in it yet refer to something you hold in your hand?I decided to try this out only because my family and I use the electrical Relief Bands that look like watches; they prevent us from getting motion sickness. I can tell a difference when I have the relief band switched on or off. Since it sounds like this item is supposed to work the same way (electrical impulses), I figured I'd try it.Night 1: I pressed the power button, hoping that would turn it on the sleep mode. I think that is what the directions say to do. I put the lanyard around my wrist and placed the device in the area that I think is indicated by the **tiny** drawing included in the directions. As I moved the device around, I could feel the electric shocks get more or less intense, based on where on my palm it was located. I couldn’t tell from the directions whether I’m supposed to seek out the area that seems to make the shocks more intense, less intense, or if that has anything to do with best placement of the device.I lowered the intensity of the shocks because they were annoying me and keeping me awake. At a lower intensity, I still felt the shocks, but they didn’t annoy me or keep me awake. I did fall asleep eventually, but I do not think this device was the reason. I ran it through two cycles before I fell asleep.I fell asleep sometime during the third cycle, but then it seemed as though when it stopped while I was asleep, the sudden stopping made me wake up. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I did wake up with a start and the device was not running. That observation is probably inconclusive, I hate to admit.I tried running the device for a fourth cycle and figured that I might need to run it all night, but it was dead. So it’s very possible that it did stop suddenly instead of tapering off, and that’s what woke me up. I don’t know that it’s supposed to taper off before shutting down, but I think that would be a great feature.I’m going to charge it and try it again. I do have **terrible** insomnia, so I really want to give this thing a thorough trial run. If it works for me, I’ll be getting one for each of my family members who has insomnia, too.It’s frustrating, but I think that tomorrow, I’m going to have to sit down with paper and pencil and try to decipher the directions again. Sadly, I think I need to make a table or chart to help me better understand them.If I can decipher the directions to my satisfaction, I might email the company and offer to sell my translation!Update: I couldn’t be bothered to try to diagram the directions. I charged it all day and didn’t use it. A few days later, I’m having bad insomnia so I go to use it, and or won’t even turn on. It totally lost its full charge. That is a bad omen, for sure. I give up. I’m returning this.

Lifelong troubles staying asleep? Same! I tried this product for the first time last night. I still woke up at 2 a.m., but my quality of sleep definitely improved. I just felt better. I'll keep at it even though it requires some dexterity to hold while reading in bed. Also, use the minimize button before holding it in your palm for the first time. The factory default setting was unsettling causing a mini freak-out as I felt the rapid shocks. Start low and work your way up to a frequency that is "comfortable" for the suggested 20 minutes. Good Luck and Good Night!

This bizarre little device makes it so my wife can sleep (and get back to sleep) relatively quickly. She has tachycardia & arrhythmia & panic attacks at night, and while it's a chicken & egg situation, I think she gets tachycardia/arrhythmia episodes while sleeping, which gives her panic attacks and makes her afraid to sleep. This hand zapper somehow calms her down and slows her heartrate - it actually gets her heartrate to a lower level than normal resting rate. When she first got it she used it with a pulse oximeter which allowed her to see her heart slowing - using it as a biofeedback device. It helps me sleep as well, and we got a second one so we can both use one, and in case one breaks.Anyway, yes the instructions are not the best. They imply that the device may not have overcharge protection so I recommend checking in on it every 15-20 minutes while it's charging. Its light will pulse while charging and be solid when fully charged. It lasts a long time on a charge - my wife uses it multiple times a night and we charge it about once a month. There are two modes and we use the slower/stronger one (which the instructions imply is the "relax" mode) - you switch modes with a quick press of the power button. Long press is on/off.You need to be able to figure out how to hold it with your fingers/hand relaxed while being able to feel the zapping, without it being distractingly strong. It works well with the loop over your fingers rather than your wrist. While figuring out your power level, have the buttons facing out (loop tethered toward thumb in left hand) so you can press the buttons with the other hand without moving it. I use mine with the loop the other way because I have the yellow one and that hides the lights, which are a little bright - my wife has the purple which is much dimmer. Moisturizing your hands can help - increasing the conductivity of your skin allows for greater flexibility in placement.TLDR: highly recommend, but for it to work properly you need to feel mild zapping without using a deathgrip.
