I started having issues with getting off to sleep as my mind would become very active and be catastrophizing thoughts and scenarios in my head (most likely related to the perimenopause). A friend recommended the Snoozeband so I began to do some research. I was quite dubious at the beginning as they are 'just speakers in a headband' however I thought I might as well give it a shot as nothing to lose and I have 14 days to send it back if it doesn't work for me. I started to research the different Snoozebands and used some AI tools to help me to decide on which one would be best for me. I opted for the Snoozeband Original. It totally works for me to help my brain switch off. I use the water sounds on the app which help to relax me enough to get to sleep. My only criticism is that some sounds on the app are only for a short time (1 hour) and when they finish, it is a complete stop which often wakes me up but I do fall asleep quickly afterwards. You can select the repeat function which I think would play the sound for a longer period of time if needed but this will just mean you will need to charge your Snoozeband up more often. It would be better if the sounds had a fade out and didn't stop so dramatically (just my opinion).
Overall, the Snoozeband has really helped me and I now wouldn't be without one.
