« The device aims to help you relax and clear your mind as you prepare to fall asleep. It takes the form of a small disk, and tapping on the top will activate a slowly pulsing blue light. This dim light projects onto your ceiling to help you pace your breath. »
« It's a blue light, but not one of the blue lights that keeps you up. It's just a very calming blue light. And you work your breathing with the light. Also, if somebody else is in the room sleeping, what I love is that this makes no noise. It's kind of training you to sleep.»
«Dodow is a LED light metronome that helps you relax. A glowing, pulsating blue light is projected on the ceiling. You coordinate your breathing to the dynamic light changes. I find it extremely calming and peaceful.»
"Today, we hear a lot about high-tech, connected products. What we wanted was precisely a disconnected product. To fall asleep, you need to be disconnected."
"Véronique had big problems falling asleep, but for 3 months it seems that she has found the solution, thanks to her little device: Dodow; she manages to regulate her sleep. It would be enough to synchronize her breathing to fall asleep more easily!"
"It's a little favorite, Dodow is not a connected device, you just have to place it like that on its case and on top of that it's a French creation! It also works for children and for anyone."
Dr. Marcel Garrigou-Grandchamp, a general practitioner in Lyon, has already recommended Dodow to a handful of patients. "They often request hypnotics. This device seemed to me to be an interesting alternative and I have had good feedback."
« Ultra-efficace, notamment chez les enfants, Dodow promet un temps d’endormissement bien plus court au bout de quinze jours de pratique quotidienne. »
"The Dodow metronome (just under 50 euros) projects a circle of light onto the bedroom ceiling*, which rhythmically grows larger and smaller. You then only need to adjust your breathing to the rhythm of the light beam, and your body will relax."
"The 3 friends devised a method to find sleep accessible to everyone. Rémy, one of the first users, suffered from nighttime awakenings and his thoughts prevented him from falling back asleep well; for him, the device worked almost immediately."
"The creators of this small device aim to 'awaken the sleep' of people suffering from occasional or chronic falling asleep disorders, using a method inspired by the breathing practices of meditation, yoga, and sophrology."
「気分が落ち着かなくて、寝付けないことはありませんか？ 快適な睡眠を取るためには、呼吸速度が大切だそうです。しかし、自分でコントロールするのは簡単ではありません…。 そんな悩みを解決するのが光のメトロノーム｢Dodow｣。 気分が落ち着かなくて、寝付けないことはありませんか？ 快適な睡眠を取るためには、呼吸速度が大切だそうです。しかし、自分でコントロールするのは簡単ではありません…。」
「仕事で多忙な毎日を送っていてなかなか寝付けない人、私のように子育て中でなかなか眠りにつけない人、ストレスや慢性不眠症、妊娠による不眠など、眠れずに困っているすべての人の救世主といえる。使い方は簡単。「Dodow」を手の届くところに置き、天井に映し出されたやわらかな青い光を眺める。光が明るくなったら息を吸い、暗くなったら息を吐くことを繰り返すだけ。」
"Extra-flat earphones that are integrated so you can sleep even on your side while still having them in your ears. So you can either play music, of course, to fall asleep, but you also have hypnosis sessions, guided meditation, and ASMR."
Pierre, our co-founder, answers Stéphane Soumier's questions to introduce Dodow on the Hello Startups set, which welcomes "the entrepreneurs who are changing the world and who will help you sleep with Dodow, the tool to regain control of your sleep!"
"Melatonin is stimulated again, the brain is in alpha mode (characterized by low-frequency brain waves) and various thoughts detach. In eight minutes, Livlab promises that the brain will have disengaged, as if caught by sleep."
"Finally, the release or the putting to sleep. The listener, after several phases where they have been solicited with many stimuli, must let go. This time, the goal is to soothe them and lead them towards falling asleep. The story ends, you are supposed to, if not already done, be asleep."
"We need to find a physical product to help people do it more simply because it took me 6 months and we needed to find a product to help people do it in 8 minutes. Dodow is this little object that you will place on your nightstand."
"HoomKid is a tool that I find fabulous because it is the first counter that talks about emotion. And in fact, inside each story, there is a key to personal development or a key to help the child experience an emotion."
「世界中で33万人以上の不眠症の悩みを解決した光のメトロノームが、満を持して日本で発売に！ 眠るために必要な呼吸に着目し、Dodowから発せられる優しい青の光に合わせ、明るくなるときに息を吸い、光が弱まったときに息を吐く、というリズムが脳を休ませ、なにもしていないときよりも平均2.5倍の速度で入眠できることが確認されているそう。」
"In fact, it works like a light metronome. It normally projects a bluish halo on the ceiling that grows and shrinks at a regular pace. The idea, actually, is to align your breathing with this light that pulses very gently."
"Alternative solutions exist: this is what the brand Livlab offers with its HoomBand and its Dodow system. These solutions have already won over more than one million people worldwide, and one of them may, perhaps, interest you and help you sleep better."
"Dodow and Hoom market HOOMBAND, an audio headband designed by insomniacs. It is complemented by hypnotic stories to fall asleep available on the Hoom application."
"But my problem would rather be staying awake. My wife, the blue, it inspires her! When I think about everything that would have changed in my life if Dodow hadn't pushed my wife into the arms of Morphée."

FAQs
Is the HoomBand compatible with all mobile phones?
Once the story is finished and I have fallen asleep, what happens next?
What exactly does the Livlab application contain?
The Livlab application provides access to a unique format, much richer than simple "hypnotic stories" or "rain sounds." Each audio is an original creation, designed as a true immersive sound production combining script, voice, music, and sleep science. We have brought together screenwriters from cinema, musicians, sound engineers, and sleep therapists (hypnotherapists, sophrologists, psychologists) to imagine an unprecedented format: long, captivating, and soothing stories, where relaxation techniques (heart coherence, hypnosis, body scan, guided meditation) are integrated into the narration without ever breaking the listening pleasure. Each episode is custom-produced in our studios, with the quality of a film soundtrack. The average creation cost exceeds €2,500 per audio, which guarantees exceptional writing, mixing, and immersion quality. The application currently offers more than 100 audios and story contents available in French and English. You can customize your evening session according to your desires: duration, atmosphere, type of story, or background sound (sea, wind, forest, rain…).
And what if the HoomBand does not suit me?
You can calmly try your HoomBand for 100 nights after your purchase date. If it does not give you complete satisfaction, you can send it back to us and we will fully refund you (excluding return shipping costs).
Can my children use my HoomBand?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to use HoomBand with children, provided that attention is paid to the listening duration and volume level. Their hearing being more sensitive, it is recommended to limit prolonged exposure and to use the lowest possible volume. That said, for the youngest, we have created a product specially designed for them: HoomKid. This audio storyteller offers soothing and educational stories, accompanied by headphones limited in decibel level, perfectly suited for young ears. HoomKid is therefore the ideal alternative to introduce children to the benefits of sound, relaxation, and imagination, in complete safety.
How do I charge my HoomBand?
When the battery is low, use the supplied magnetic USB cable to recharge your Hoomband. Connect it to a USB power source such as a computer or a maximum 10 W charger for safe and efficient charging.
What is the difference between HoomBand and HoomBand Ultimate?
Both products have the same core: an ultra-comfortable Bluetooth audio headband and an app with over 200 hours of stories, meditations, and sounds created by sleep experts. The difference lies in the form and use. 👉 HoomBand (classic headband) This is the lighter version, designed to be worn on the forehead or around the head. Ideal for those who sleep on their side or who like to listen to a story before falling asleep without covering their eyes. The fabric is thin, breathable, and soft, perfect for daily use, even in summer. 👉 HoomBand Ultimate (100% light-blocking audio mask) This is the premium version, designed for those who want to completely isolate themselves from the outside world. The mask blocks all light, provides optimal eye comfort, and promotes the natural secretion of melatonin. It is ideal for daytime naps, travel, people sensitive to light, or simply those who want total immersion in calm and darkness.
