Product Description
A simple, natural and efficient solution!
More than 200,000 people are already falling asleep with Dodow. Amongst them, those who have difficulties getting to sleep (aged 6 years and up); restless mind, stress, chronic insomnia, depression, waking up in the night, insomnia due to pregnancy etc…
Inhale
Tap the touch-sensitive surface once for the 8- minute mode, twice for the 20-minute mode. A blue light appears on the ceiling. Gently synchronise your breathing: Inhale when the light expands…
Exhale
…then exhale when the light retracts. You may notice that the exhalation is deliberately longer. This will help create a sensation of tiredness which is conductive to falling asleep.
Sleep
At the end of the exercise (8 or 20 minutes) Dodow switches itself off. You’ll be in the ideal body state to fall asleep naturally, in whatever position you like.
Slow your metabolism down
By synchronising your (abdominal) breathing with the pulsing light, Dodow progressively takes your breathing down from 11 to 6 breaths per minute.
The rate of 6 RPM is also used in what is called cardiac coherence exercises. According to several studies, the rhythm is the rate that maximizes stimulation of the baroreflex.
The (very) slow breathing rate, at the cardiac coherence rhythm, really slows down your metabolism and your body will be completely relaxed.
Reduce your flow of thoughts
What’s more, concentrating on the pulsing halo on the ceiling has a hypnotic effect. Dodow’s soft blue light (brightness < 1 lux) allows your body to relax, without inhibiting melatonin production. You can choose between the 3 different brightness intensities.
You’ll keep your brain busy with an actvitity a lot less distracting and exciting than the thoughts that are keeping you awake.
The individual having difficulty falling asleep may not have the power to stimulate an effective relaxation response on his or her own. Dodow is easy to switch on, simple to use and placed near the bed, making the process much easier.

Describe your products in 3 words.
Revolutionise your sleep!
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
The dangers of using sleeping pills led Alex, chronic insomniac, to look for other solutions to falling asleep more easily. He discovered that regulating breathing was at the heart of practices such as meditation, yoga, sophrology and cardiac coherence. Numerous studies have shown that breathing is actually one of the best tools to help reduce stress and mental turmoil. After many long months of meditative practice, his problems were solved.With Pierre and Gui, industrial designers, Alex wondered how he could also help the 8 million French insomniacs succeed in getting to sleep faster using a breathing method – without having to go through the long months of practice!
What makes your product special?
The best solutions for getting to sleep like hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy or meditation unfortunately require a lot of personal or financial investment. Dodow however is incredibly simple and can even be used by a 6 year old. It’s a relatively low-cost solution long term in comparison to sleeping pills or melatonin which require monthly expenditure. Dodow doesn’t require renewing and there are absolutely no secondary effects on your body.
What has been the best part of your experience?
One story that still makes us giggle is the time when Pierre-Luc took a Blablacar to go home for Christmas – and the driver Jean-Louis turned out to be an ex-insomniac saved by Dodow! The feedback we receive every day really motivates us. Numerous insomniacs have managed to wean themselves off sleeping pills progressively thanks to Dodow – and well that’s the best thing we could hope for 🙂

Finally a natural solution to my sleep problems!
This device is so simple but it’s seriously one of the best things I’ve ever purchased! I’ve been using it for almost a week and I’ve had a solid sleep every night. I have had problems sleeping and staying asleep for years… Mostly because I can’t slow my mind down but I have fallen asleep within seconds of finishing the dodow routine every night so far and I have slept straight through every night. I really can’t recommend this highly enough. I have to fall asleep on my side so I just lie on my back and watch the routine until it’s done and then I simply turn onto my side and go straight to sleep. The device itself is small, about the size of a coaster and it looks great lying on the bedside table… Very modern and clean looking. It’s crazy to think that something so simple could be the solution to my sleep problems but so far it’s worked flawlessly!

Did not work for me and light will not turn off

I don’t find this product helpful. #1 If I’m trying to sleep I was to try and close my eyes, with this I have to keep them open and watch the light. I also find the light too bright. I don’t find it helpful in trying to fall asleep.
Each person is defferent
I have some luck with it some nights no luck. Not sure if it was a good purchase or not
Great therapy
My wife has trouble falling asleep when she travels. This is a big help. The only draw back is that you have to take the batteries out when you pack it to avoid accidental activation. Its a bit of a pain to get them out.
This thing works!
As a person who took prescription sleep medication, and still could not sleep, let’s say I was skeptical at best. The machine arrived quickly, and it WORKS! I find the light bright (as my room is extremely dark to help with the insomnia), but I sleep. And not only do I sleep but I wake up feeling rested!! I would definately recommend trying this product! It is so worth the $80 to be able to sleep again!
Excellent product
I do not usually havectrouble falling asleep but on those odd nights that I do I have found the Dodow helpful to sync my breathing and have fallen asleep. I mainky bought it to use for meditation purposes.
Not worth the money, just yoga breathe
It is just a light and you breathing along withbit
So I was sceptical …but this little silly thing actually works. I donât sleep well. The usual just lay there hope to fall asleep while your mind decides you should be doing dishes or laundry or reliving your entire day minute by slow minute. I click it on twice which sets it for 22 minutes and not sure exactly at what point Iâm out but I never have to reset it. I didnât like the white color only because it didnât blend in with my decor do I simply spray painted it. Only complaint I have is that it would be nice to adjust the light beam somehow. I donât have the type of nightstands it can sit on so itâs on a table across the room so the beam is not above my bed but rather to the side of it. Still works just have to lay on my side. Itâs a great little product and I would by it again.
First the dislike – it was hard to get the back off to install the batteries. However, thanks to the link to a good video and emailed detailed instructions provided as soon as I contacted the supplier about my difficulties, I was able put the batteries in and experience my Dodow quite quickly thereafter. Then came the likes – the soft, gently pulsating blue light was really very pleasant to look at and really calming. Sleep, if it didn’t happen immediately, came quite soon most nights, certainly not long after the magic number of eight as suggested in the instructions, and was very welcome indeed. I wouldn’t say this was the answer to sleep problems for all, but even just the tranquillity induced by the breathing in tandem with the light must be good for your health!
To put it plain and simple, it doesn’t work, meaning it does it’s light thing, but it did absolutely NOTHING to help me sleep better. I really wanted this to work, but there are several issues:- the light is blue, blue light is known to increase wakefulness and hinder sleep. Why in the world would a sleep device pick blue light? Every sleep expert tells you to set your electronics on night mode, meaning blocking the blue part of the light, because it interferes with Melatonin …- Looking at the light come on and off did not make me sleepy or calm. It made me feel more anxious to keep up with the rhythm of the light with my breath.- Some people claim that they fell asleep during the 8 minute light routine … not sure how that’s possible, since I have to have my eyes open to watch the light. If you fall asleep with your eyes open, I suggest you may not have a sleep problem.On the upside, it’s a sleek looking device, that I suppose if it works for you will look decent on your night stand and is easy to operate.
Useless, given we stripped the screw and ended up losing it inside the device. I really thought I would be smarter than the many people who had already complained about this issue (the battery cover does not come off). Pride comes before a fall. Don’t buy this. If you have trouble and write to the manufacturers, you will get no reply. Be warned…..
I have trouble shutting off my mind when it comes time to sleep. All those things I didn’t have time to think about during the day pop up! This just bores me to sleep. I look and try to breathe with it, but the first few breaths are too fast. Then when it slows a bit, I’m bored and drift off. For me, it works by distraction. Cheaper, easier, and safer than pills. Combine with good sleep hygiene.
