The Technology

How does Modius Sleep work?

Modius Sleep is a FDA cleared medical device, for low risk, non-invasive and non-drug treatment of chronic insomnia that can be used in the comfort of your own home. Modius Sleep works by using a technology known as electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS). VeNS is a non-invasive therapeutic method which stimulates the vestibular nerves to indirectly influence the hypothalamus and the body’s circadian rhythm. The neurostimulation is delivered through two self-adhesive electrode pads which are placed on the skin behind each ear. It is recommended that the headset is worn for 30 minutes each evening 1-2 hours prior to going to bed.

Modius Sleep works through electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerves. It applies pulsed, alternating microcurrent to the vestibular nerves via the stimulation pads placed on the skin behind the ears. The vestibular system not only provides our sense of balance but it is now understood  that the vestibular system can also influence a person’s sleep, hence rocking a baby to sleep and why people tend to get sleepy during a long car or train journey. Many scientific studies have also conclusively proven the link between the vestibular system and circadian regulation (the body’s internal clock that regulates cycles of alertness and sleepiness). Modius Sleep targets key neurons in the brain’s sleep centre within the hypothalamus to  positively influence the body’s circadian rhythm and improve your sleep. Neurovalens conducted clinical trials with compelling results, leading to FDA clearance of Modius Sleep.
