Questions

How does Sychedelic transition from a stress relief tool to a sleep aid in the same session?

Sychedelic's session arc is designed as a progression: a baseline physiological read, then auditory entrainment, then the tDCS Boost starting around minute 10. As the nervous system downregulates, the device tracks your HRV and heart rate, and the audio shifts to support deeper relaxation. By the end of a 20-minute session, many users find themselves in a calm, pre-sleep state.

Why is PPG monitoring near the ear better for stress tracking than on the wrist?

The skin near the ear canal is thinner and rich with micro-vasculature directly influenced by the brain's regulatory centres. This makes the optical signal cleaner and more sensitive to subtle autonomic changes like HRV shifts. Wrist-based PPG is more susceptible to motion noise and is further from the head's vascular network.

Can a stress relief wearable replace sleep medication?

Sychedelic is not a medical device and is not intended to replace prescribed sleep treatments. It works best as a non-pharmacological support tool — helping create the physiological conditions for natural sleep through sound and gentle neuromodulation. Anyone relying on sleep medication should speak to their doctor before making changes.
