Somnee

The way a stim session feels is different for each person, and can vary from night to night.&#xA0;For many, a stim session feels like a light tingling sensation on your forehead. Depending on your sensitivity, people describe it as a light scratchy sensation, while others say they feel a little warmth under the electrodes. You may also see some light flashes.&#xA0;These are all normal, safe sensations to experience during a stim session, and they stop as soon as the stim session stops.&#xA0;If your stim session becomes uncomfortable, you can always decrease the intensity of the stimulation using the Somnee app.

A stim session feels like a light tingling sensation on your forehead. Depending on your sensitivity, people describe it as a light scratchy sensation, while others even feel a little warmth at the site of the electrodes. You may also experience a visual flashing sensation. After a few minutes they fade away. These are normal, safe sesations during a stim session, and they stop as soon as the stim session stops. You can always stop a stim session if it becomes uncomfortable, and you can also adjust the intensity of the stimulation using the Somnee app.
