How Does Somni Work?

What is the device? What are the motion sensors and signals for? Rapid eye movement (REM) is a sleep phase where a person experiences vivid and memorable dreams. During this phase, a sleeping person's eyes make intense, random movements while exploring the dream world. The Somni mask tracks REM sleep with motion sensors. It also supports lucid dream practice using audiovisual cues without interrupting your sleep during other stages. You will see and hear the signals received from the mask in your dream.

The Somni mask works strictly according to its algorithm to accurately track REM sleep. To use it, you put it on before bed and press a button. When you wake up, you can use the application to see when you were in REM sleep. The mask tracks head movement, meaning the device will not begin eye-tracking until you are completely asleep.

How do you lucid dream with Somni?

The Somni mask provides audio cues designed for lucid dream practice through the audio loaded onto the device's memory. Before you go to bed, turn on the mask and put on the headphones. The mask will automatically play this audio during REM sleep, and the audio is intended as a sleep cue that may appear in your dream. By default, curated sounds are loaded onto the mask, such as water splashing with a voice reminding you that you are dreaming. You may notice these cues in your dream as part of your lucid dream practice with these sounds.
