My son doesn't have issues with night terrors (thank God), but does wake up frequently throughout the night. He's a restless sleeper and wakes up WAY too early as well. Would Lully be something to try for someone with sleep issues not necessarily terrors?
Does this work for adults? It talks about it being used for all ages, but is clearly marketed to be used for children. I couldn't find anything on the site about its use for adults.
@teabait Our device definitely has more usage in kids. That said, the underlying physiology of night terrors is pretty similar between children and adults. So Lully could potentially help with adult night terrors as well. There is a huge void for solutions to night terrors, so if you know someone dealing with night terrors, I think it's definitely worth giving Lully a try.
Couple questions: how soon do you ship? any reason a physician's advice is required for children under 2 and do you have any info on the landmark study that showed the product's effectiveness? Looks cool and congrats on getting this far.
@mjrawth Thanks for the questions.
- We're shipping right now!
- Seeking a physicians advice for children under 2 is a regulatory labeling requirement but the decision is ultimately in the hands of parents.
- What questions can I answer about the study? It was designed working with physicians at the Stanford Sleep Center - where the field of sleep medicine was born! 12 children with chronic night terrors were enrolled in the study. They did a 2 week baseline and then used our device for 4 weeks. On average there was an 80% reduction in the night terror events between the baseline and the last 2 weeks of device use. Happy to share more details.
That's actually product #2! It's based on the same technology with a different algorithm. Shoot me a note at varun@caydian.com and let's see if we can tweak Lully to work for you.
So basically this is a sleep-cycle alarm, but instead of waking you at the end of the night when you enter light sleep, it wakes your child 'out of' an early deep sleep phase? What are the four questions, btw?
@photodiary There are some parallels with the sleep cycle alarm. The big difference is that we cause a 'partial awakening' which is just enough to get your child onto the next sleep cycle without waking them up. So they don't lose quality of sleep. The 4 questions are to better understand the sleep routine - bedtime, night terror time, night terror frequency per night and per month. Hope that helps.
This is great! My son and my wife, both have crazy night terrors...and I feel helpless not being able to do anything to help them with it. Can't wait for this!
