Product Info

Having trouble sleeping? This intelligent Dodow Sleep Aid Device is a metronome with a light system that teaches you how to fall asleep naturally, without taking any medicine. The light system keeps you on track by synchronising your breathing with a slow and steady light pulse which causes a hypnotic effect and helps to calm the flow of your thoughts by keeping your attention focused on the light signal. Simply tap the touch-sensitive surface and focus on the blue light reflected on the ceiling. Inhale when the light expands to gently synchronise your breathing, then exhale when the light retracts — this creates a sensation of tiredness which is conducive to falling asleep. What's more, it's small, making it a great travel companion for business trips and vacations, helping you fall asleep in unfamiliar locations, like hotel rooms.

  • Sleep Aid Device
  • Aids sleep by synchronising your breathing with a slow and steady light pulse which has a calming effect by keeping your attention focused on the light signal
  • Blue light in high doses can help wake you up by inhibiting melatonin secretion, but Dodow does not
  • Being projected on the ceiling, the light signal, at its maximum intensity and for someone who is lying in bed, has a very low intensity (less than 1 lux), compared with the relatively strong intensity of a computer or television screen (about 60 lux at a distance of 50cm)
  • In addition, the exposure time (between 8 and 20 minutes) is low. Dodow's impact on the circadian rhythm is therefore almost zero or, in any case, far too low to delay falling asleep and counteract the positive effects described above
  • The benefits are that it is 100% natural, non-addictive and a long-term solution
  • Its small size makes it a great travel companion for business trips and vacations, and for help falling asleep when you're in an unfamiliar location like a hotel room
  • Dodow runs on AAA batteries, no charging or wires needed
  • No app, no tracking, no Bluetooth
  • Is ideal for jet lag or irregular sleep phases
  • Here are the 4 reasons why Dodow is not just a simple Sophrology breathing exercise:
    • Dodow indicates an optimal pace for you: 6 breaths per minute to put you in a state of rest and to rebalance your autonomic nervous system. Every breath out is 50% longer than the breath in to tire you out. Trying to follow your own breathing independently forces you to think and to count, which causes performance anxiety, thereby significantly delaying sleep
    • The attention span of a person not used to meditating is 30 seconds at most, so you can very quickly become lost in your thoughts and forget to do the breathing exercise. Dodow's light signal keeps you on track!
    • Synchronising one's breathing with a slow and steady light pulse has a hypnotic effect, similar to watching a pendulum that helps you unwind quickly
    • Dodow helps you simmer down and calm the flow of your thoughts by keeping your attention focused on an external point (the light signal), without having to concentrate on your breathing - the emphasis is paradoxically placed on keeping you awake

How to use:

  • Place the white disc on a countertop next to your bed
  • Simply tap the touch-sensitive surface once for the 8-minute session or twice for the 20-minute session
  • A blue light will then appear on the ceiling
  • Inhale when the light expands to gently synchronise your breathing
  • Then exhale when the light retracts
  • This creates a sensation of tiredness which is conducive to falling asleep
  • Once finished, the device automatically shuts off

About Dodow

Manufactured in France, Dodow was started by 4 founders, made up of former insomniacs and industrial designers. Together, they combined their skills to look for natural ways to fall asleep and discovered that the control of breathing is the key ingredient. Used in practices such as meditation and yoga, breathing is one of the best tools for regulating stress and mental restfulness. With this in mind, they set out to create a device to help insomniacs fall asleep faster, thanks to breathing, and without having to train during long months. After 2 years of research and numerous prototypes, Dodow was born.

I am a postmenopausal insomniac and have tried everything. Prescription drugs are the only things that work.

But...I'm very impressed with how effective the Dodow is and would highly recommend it. Not giving it 5 stars as not foolproof obviously.

I take it everywhere, it’s an extremely effective sleep aid.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
