Midnight awakening
When you wake up during the night or early in the morning, you can simply turn on Somnox 2 by pressing the power
button. It will recommence the program as set via the mobile app and automatically turn o when the program ends.
If you want to turn o the sound during the night, you can turn the sound volume to zero by briefly pressing the minus
button multiple times, until you don’t hear the sound anymore.
Tips for using your Somnox 2
Using sound for sleep onset
You can use the provided soundtracks to create a calm ambience without any other distractions. Some sound settings
that might help you:
1. Are you quickly bothered by noise from the environment or Somnox 2’s mechanism? Use ‘white noise’, which works
as a noise filter.
2. Exercise: set nature sounds to your Somnox 2. While listening, imagine you are walking in a green forest. Focus on
your breath and adapt to the ratio of inhaling and exhaling as you are imaginarily walking through this forest.
Focussing on the breathing motion vs. unconsciously slowing down your breath
There are dierent ways of using Somnox 2: either focus on the breathing movement (which protects your mind from
racing thoughts) or unconsciously let your breath synchronize with Somnox 2.
If you find it hard to follow the breathing movement of Somnox 2, try not to focus too much on the Breathe & Sleep
Robot itself. Instead, you can try to focus on your own breathing rate, or distract your mind by listening to music or a
guided meditation.
Turning Somnox 2 on another time
It is possible that sometimes you won’t fall asleep within the set duration of the breathing program. It is up to you
whether you want to turn it on a second time by pressing the power button (it will recommence the set program) or not.
You can also try to focus on your own breath until you fall asleep.
