Dodow Plus | 8-Minute Sleep Aid with App Support | Improved Version

I am a flight attendant, so I am used to working and sleeping crazy hours, and in different beds and climates on any given night. This causes my sleep patterns, sometimes to become very chaotic. This has been a game changer in helping to wind down after a long day and be able to get to a quicker quality sleep faster.

Didn’t work No magic here

Short version: It depends. It could be helpful, with the calming, waxing and waning light. It will depend upon your bedroom environment. With light-colored walls and any ambient light, (e.g. nightlight) it might be too faint. The concept is great, and is similar to the relaxation techniques I have used for years. The product description seemed ideal. When it arrived, I took it into a dark room and tried it. The gentle brightening and dimming was very soothing. it seemed that it would work. Unfortunately, our actual bedroom has a "tray" ceiling (recessed center), with gray accent paint. We could not see the light. With the uneven surface, and slight light from clock radio and air filter, the gentle light from this sleep aid mostly disappeared. There certainly was not enough visible to focus on for relaxation. So, while it did not work for us, if you have a flat, possibly light-colored ceiling, and minimal ambient light, this could be an effect sleep aid and I would recommend it (3 stars). The relaxation technique is what I use, and was sorry that this light could not work on our ceiling, in our environment.

This gadget is a simple yet effective tool for improving sleep. It uses gentle light rhythms to guide breathing and calm the mind in minutes. The app support adds customization and tracking features, making it even more helpful. I’ve noticed I fall asleep faster and more peacefully since using it but it does take a little getting used to. A great non-invasive solution for anyone struggling with restless nights and who need help getting to sleep and staying asleep.

I’m sure it is a wonderful product. It appears to be made very well but it just didn’t work for me. Maybe my rhythms are all maybe I just couldn’t get into with it, but I’m sure it will work for others.

The reviews say it’s not going to work overnight. It’s only been a couple of nights. I need to keep at it. Loved how small it is.

The Dodow Plus is a small gadget that promises to make it easier to fall asleep at night. I've been using it for about two weeks and find that it does help somewhat. It took a little practice before it felt natural, but did help once I reached that stage. The small Dodow doesn't take up much space and it's easy to use. Just tap it. I also installed the LivLab app to see how it might complement the Dodow. However, you don't need the app to operate the Dodow. The app does not connect with the Dodow at all. The Dodow offers three levels of light, but the highest level seems to work best for me. Even at that, the blue light is still low. The pulses are slightly closer together starting out, then they spread out for deeper breaths as it goes along. The unit will automatically shut off. The LivLab app is nice. It reminds me a little of the Calm app, but there are fewer options. Included are stories, ambiance, hypnosis, along with a range for children if you buy one of their kids products. My favorite recording is Cardiac Coherance and the sounds mimic the Dodow in that you breathe in with one bell and out with another bell. As before, the breathing time spreads out as the session progresses. There is soothing background music for a peaceful experience. You can listen to stories and other options while you use the Dodow if you prefer. Overall, I'm very happy with the Dodow Plus and I really like the LivLab app for the audio version of the Dodow as described above. Good combo, great value.

This is a worthless device, the light is too bright and it doesn’t aid in sleeping in the length of time it advertised.
