Honest answers.
Is SleepPal a medical device?
No. SleepPal is a consumer wellness product focused on relaxation before sleep. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.
Can SleepPal treat insomnia?
No. SleepPal is not intended to treat any medical condition. It's designed to support calmer bedtime routines and help your body wind down before sleep — that's all.
What makes SleepPal different from a smartwatch?
Most wearables are built around daytime activity — steps, workouts, notifications. SleepPal is designed specifically around the transition into sleep, with warmth and rhythm instead of data tracking and alerts.
How long is a typical session?
Most sessions run around 15–20 minutes. SleepPal fades out automatically when it detects you're settling — so the session ends when you need it to, not on a fixed clock.
What does the wrist module actually do?
It quietly tracks subtle changes in how your body is settling throughout the session — movement patterns, rhythm — and shares that with the foot module so the response can adjust accordingly.
Why is there a foot module?
The feet are a natural place for grounded, calming stimulation at bedtime. Warmth and a gentle, steady rhythm there feels less intrusive than something worn closer to the face or chest — and tends to stay comfortable through the whole session.
Is it noisy?
SleepPal is designed for quiet nighttime use. The tactile output is low-profile by design. Perceived sound will vary by environment, but we've prioritised discretion throughout.
Do I need to adjust settings every night?
No. Tap start, put your phone down, and SleepPal handles the rest. You can adjust preferences if you want to — but the default is designed to just work.
What does "auto fade-out" mean?
Rather than stopping abruptly on a timer, SleepPal gradually softens its output as your body settles. When it senses you're drifting off, it steps back quietly — so there's no hard stop to snap you awake.
What will I see in the app the next day?
A simple summary of your session — how long it ran, when it faded out, and how your winding-down routine is developing over time. One honest note, not a data dashboard.
Who is SleepPal best suited to?
Anyone who finds the transition into sleep difficult — minds that stay busy after lights-out, bodies that take a while to fully switch off. If you already sleep easily, you probably don't need it.
