Getting Started

A step-by-step guide to your first Modius Sleep session

Getting started with Modius Sleep

Whether you’re setting up for the first time or you’ve been using Modius Sleep for a while, the step by step guide below will ensure you get the most out of every Modius Sleep session.

Step 1

Prepare the skin

  • Use an alcohol wipe to clean the area behind each ear.
  • Make sure the skin is clean, free of oils or hairs, and let it dry completely.
Step 2

Place the stimulation pads

  • Take one electrode pad and remove the plastic backing.
  • Place it on the bony area just behind your earlobe, as close to the crease of the ear as possible.
  • Press firmly around the pad to ensure a secure fit and check that no hairs are trapped underneath.
  • Repeat for the other ear.
  • Important: The electrode pads are single use and should be disposed of after each session.
Step 3

Place Modius Sleep on your head​

  • Hold the thicker side of the headset with the LED indicator in your right hand.
  • Place the band over your eyebrows and move it up until it rests comfortably on your head, like a headband.
Step 4

Connect the cables

  • Locate the two cables extending from the Modius Sleep headset.
  • Each cable has a connector designed to attach to the stimulation pads.
  • Gently push the connector onto the pad’s stud until it clicks into place securely.
  • Please note: Ensure both cables are attached securely. You can adjust the placement of the headset to ensure the cables aren't being stretched.
Step 5

Power on Modius Sleep

  • Turn on Modius Sleep using the power button. Press and hold for 2-3 seconds until you hear a high pitched beep. The LED light will flash white.
  • Important: Each time you turn on Modius Sleep, the stimulation is always reset to Level 0 (no stimulation).
Step 6

Adjusting stimulation level

  • Press the increase button (with the 2 dots) to activate the stimulation. A single beep indicates a change in level. Continue to press the increase button to increase the levels slowly. You may feel a gentle rocking or swaying sensation. This is normal.
  • Use the increase or decrease buttons to adjust the level to what feels most comfortable.
  • Please note: Modius Sleep has 10 levels of stimulation. Everyone is different, so take time to find the level that feels most comfortable for you.

Additional Tips

  • Modius Sleep is intended to be worn before bed, and not while sleeping

When to use Modius Sleep

We recommend using Modius Sleep 1-2 hours before going to bed, or as close to your bedtime as you can. Using the device consistently every night will help you get the best results.

A typical session

Each Modius Sleep session lasts 30 minutes and will turn off automatically when the session is complete.

Charging Modius Sleep

A full charge typically takes around 5 hours. When charging, the LED will stay amber and when charging is complete the light will turn off.
