"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."
"It's a really soft material. It's a total blackout, but also, if you look here and here, you'll see that these are soft headphones. You can adjust them to your ear. So when you fully put this on, you sync it up. Hoom has an app and has different sleep stories for you."
« 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!"
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."
"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
Why do I need Dodow?
Will Dodow disturb my partner?
Why blue light?
The blue color was chosen after many tests, based on the generally accepted perception that blue is calming. High doses of blue light can help wake you up by inhibiting melatonin secretion, but this is not the case with Dodow. Being projected onto the ceiling, the light signal, at its maximum intensity and for someone lying in bed, has a very low intensity (less than 1 lux) compared to the relatively strong intensity of a computer or television screen (about 60 lux at a distance of 50cm). Moreover, the exposure time (between 8 and 20 minutes) is short. The impact of Dodow on the circadian rhythm is therefore almost nil or at least far too weak to delay falling asleep and counterbalance the positive effects described above. The light halo is therefore actually more akin to color than to light.
Does Dodow also work for jet lag?
Dodow works very well for jet lag or irregular sleep phases. Dodow is also used by Air France flight crew with whom we have formed a partnership. There are 50,000 flight attendants traveling around the world.
I am mostly stressed, can Dodow help me?
Yes, by breathing long enough at the Dodow rhythm (6 breaths per minute), you will stimulate the baroreflex, a small physiological mechanism that helps restore the balance of the autonomic nervous system. Thus, you will quickly move from the alert state (activation of the sympathetic nervous system) to the resting state (activation of the parasympathetic nervous system), the same state you are in during digestion: slightly drowsy. In this state, you will be much less sensitive to your stress, your metabolism will slow down, the secretion of neurotransmitters that kept you awake will have stopped, and sleep will be very close. Moreover, by focusing on the halo projected by Dodow on the ceiling, you will divert your thoughts. Some people try to "force" sleep: by trying to fall asleep at all costs, they create stress that prevents them from falling asleep. By keeping your eyes open to follow the light pulse, you no longer try to fall asleep and paradoxically, you increase your chances of finding sleep. In psychology, this is called paradoxical intention; scientific studies have shown its usefulness in treating sleep onset disorders.
Can Dodow help me fall back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night?
Yes, by breathing long enough at the Dodow rhythm (6 breaths per minute), you will stimulate the baroreflex, a small physiological mechanism that helps restore the balance of the autonomic nervous system.

Is Dodow suitable for children and elderly people?
Yes, we have many testimonials on this subject (we encourage you to browse them). The breathing exercise proposed by Dodow is very simple and is done progressively, gently. Dodow is particularly well suited for people who are afraid of the dark (many among children and elderly people). Dodow can be used from 6 years old.
How long would Dodow allow me to fall asleep?
Results may vary between individuals, but most people will fall asleep easily within the first 20 minutes, many even falling asleep before the end of the 8-minute cycle. Our users tell us they fall asleep 2.5 times faster (on average) thanks to Dodow. And don't forget, the more you use Dodow, the more you can expect good results, or even no longer need it.
What if Dodow doesn't work for me?
You have 100 days to test Dodow, if you are not satisfied, we will refund you.
Does the Dodow turn off by itself?
Yes, of course Dodow turns off by itself at the end of the exercise, 8 minutes or 20 minutes depending on your choice.
