I’m a psychoacoustician and I’ve studied auditory perception my whole career. The statement “we use auditory stimulation to increase the efficiency of deep sleep” sounds like snake oil. I’m not saying such a thing is impossible, it just sounds very implausible (to me, ostensibly an expert in this area) However, I’m open minded: can you present some evidence that your techniques actually improve sleep?

I'm surprised you haven't heard of it as an expert in the area. This is only a small sampling of the research.

If you look for Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation of slow wave sleep you will find much more.

The sleep market is full of snake oil, it's a big issue, and something we are keen to combat, so perhaps better terminology on my part would help.

Thanks for responding and not just writing us off.

Thanks; I’ll take a look at those papers.
