Questions

Do I need special music for binaural beats to work?

The "beats" are a specific frequency difference between tones delivered separately to each ear. While you can find binaural beats on YouTube, neurotech headphones often have high-fidelity drivers that ensure the frequencies are delivered accurately to each ear, which is crucial for the entrainment effect.

Can I wear neurotech headphones if I am a side sleeper?

Many modern brain wearables are designed with ultra-slim profiles or soft, wrap-around bands specifically for side sleepers. Sychedelic's headband design is intended to be low-profile enough for side-sleepers, though individual comfort varies.

How long does it take to see results in my sleep quality?

Some people feel the relaxation effect immediately. However, for long-term sleep health, it usually takes 2–4 weeks of consistent use for your brain to "learn" the new routine. Clinical RCTs on tDCS for sleep used multi-session protocols (10–20 sessions) for measurable improvements.

Is this the same as a white noise machine?

No. White noise just masks sound. Neurotech headphones use active technology — such as tDCS or specific sound frequencies — to change your physiological state. The goal is not just to block noise but to actively support your brain's transition into sleep.

What is the difference between regular ANC headphones and neurotech sleep headphones?

Standard ANC headphones passively block sound. Neurotech sleep headphones like Sychedelic go further — they use binaural beats to guide brainwaves toward relaxation, and tDCS stimulation to prime the nervous system for rest. The goal is not just to mask noise but to actively support your brain's transition into sleep.

How does Sychedelic know when I've fallen asleep?

Sychedelic uses a PPG (photoplethysmography) sensor near the ear to monitor your heart rate patterns in real time. As your heart rate stabilises and your HRV changes, the device can detect the physiological signs of sleep onset and adjust the audio accordingly.

Is it safe to use tDCS while trying to fall asleep?

Sychedelic's tDCS operates at low current levels within established safety parameters. The stimulation is brief and targeted, not continuous throughout the night. As with any device, users with epilepsy, implanted medical devices, or other neurological conditions should consult a doctor before use.
