FAQs
Why do I need Dodow?
Will Dodow disturb my partner?
Why blue light?
The color blue was chosen after extensive testing, based on the commonly held perception that blue is soothing. High doses of blue light can contribute to wakefulness by inhibiting melatonin secretion, but this is not the case with Dodow. Because it is projected onto the ceiling, the light signal, even at maximum intensity and viewed by someone lying in bed, is very low in intensity (less than 1 lux), especially compared with the relatively high intensity of a computer or television screen (approximately 60 lux at a distance of 50 cm). In addition, the exposure time (between 8 and 20 minutes) is short. Dodow's impact on the circadian rhythm is therefore virtually zero, or at least far too weak to delay falling asleep and counterbalance the positive effects described above. The halo of light is therefore actually more akin to color than to light.
Does Dodow also help with jet lag?
Dodow works very well for jet lag or irregular sleep patterns. Dodow is also used by Air France cabin crew, with whom we have formed a partnership. There are 50,000 cabin crew members traveling around the world.
I'm mostly stressed, can Dodow help me?
Yes, by breathing long enough at Dodow’s pace (6 breaths per minute), you will stimulate the baroreflex, a small physiological mechanism that helps restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. This will allow you to quickly move from a state of alertness (activation of the sympathetic nervous system) to a state of rest (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 stress, your metabolism will slow down, the secretion of neurotransmitters that had been keeping you awake will stop, and sleep will be very close. In addition, by focusing on the halo projected onto the ceiling by Dodow, you will divert your attention from your thoughts. Some people try to “force” themselves to sleep: by trying to fall asleep at all costs, they create stress that prevents them from doing so. By keeping your eyes open to follow the light pulse, you are no longer trying to fall asleep and, paradoxically, you increase your chances of drifting off. In psychology, this is called paradoxical intention; scientific studies have shown its usefulness in treating difficulty falling asleep.
Can Dodow help me fall back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night?
Yes, by breathing long enough at Dodow’s pace (6 breaths per minute), you will stimulate the baroreflex, a small physiological mechanism that helps restore balance to the autonomic nervous system.

Is Dodow suitable for children and older adults?
Yes, we have numerous testimonials on this subject (we encourage you to read through them). The breathing exercise offered by Dodow is very simple and progresses gradually, gently. Dodow is particularly well suited to people who are afraid of the dark (many children and older people). Dodow can be used from age 6.
How long would Dodow help me fall asleep?
Results may vary from person to person, but most people fall asleep easily within the first 20 minutes, and many even fall asleep before the 8-minute cycle ends. Our users tell us they fall asleep 2.5 times faster on average thanks to Dodow. And remember, the more you use Dodow, the better results you can expect - you may even no longer need it.
What if Dodow doesn't work for me?
You have 100 days to try Dodow; if you’re not satisfied, we’ll refund you.
Does Dodow turn off by itself?
Yes, of course. Dodow turns off automatically at the end of the exercise, after 8 or 20 minutes depending on your choice.
