How it Works The forehead and ear sensors contained within the Sleep Shepherd Blue closely monitor your brainwaves. The data is used in real time to adjust the tones delivered to each ear such that the resultant frequency of the tones is always slightly slower than your current brainwave frequency.
Charging To charge the Sleep Shepherd Blue, included charging cord. Connect the micro-USB plug into the unit’s micro-USB port (Figure A). Connect the USB plug into the included charging adapter (Figure B). The unit should be fully charged between every use.
Positioning the Sensors The Sleep Shepherd Blue is able to passively monitor your brainwaves through conductive fabric sensors integrated into the inside of the headband. In order to obtain accurate readings, the sensor pads must be in firm contact with the wearer’s skin. The two sensors along the side of the headband should align over the wearer’s ears.
The speakers can be positioned within these pockets so that they align comfortably over the natural indentation of your ears. Volume levels can be adjusted on the electronics casing. Volume balance can be adjusted using the Sleep Shepherd companion app.
This data can be used to beneficially analyze and adjust your sleep routines to help optimize your sleep like never before. Download the Sleep Shepherd app by scanning the QR code above.
