[Back Order] Dreem2 EEG Sleep Tracking Device $399 (Was $650) C&C / Delivered @ Resmed

170

First deal post, go for your life.

This is obviously not for everyone, but if you are thinking / learning about or getting into hacking your brain then this is potentially a doozy.

Back in March, it was announced that the Dreem2 headset would no longer be sold direct-to-consumer, in order to focus on clinical applications. Resmed are currently clearing it out at $399 as part of their Black Friday sale (was $650).

Since this is being distributed and sold outside the US, I am assuming (edit: confirmed) that it is the non-FDA version which supports pink noise stimulation via bone conductance. That's the one you want.

I ordered one last week, and have fingers and toes crossed that they will be able to fulfil. I got fed up with the sleep tracking on my Garmin, which has basically been a random BS generator for at least the past two months.

This is a luxury health hack, but a steal at this price point. EEG is gold standard for this stuff.

    Well at least it looks somewhat capable of sleep tracking unlike most sleep tracking devices.

    • Well, it does not require much to measure sleeping patterns. Our brain inhibits movements during certain stages of sleep, therefore measuring the movements of the body give you some idea on how the sleeping goes. Actigraphy is a thing that professionals do use for a reason.

      Not saying that you'd be able to do all of what this thing can do with a smart watch, but it's far cheaper and it does give you fair bit of insights. When that is not enough, you probably need to talk with a psychologist and a GP and see what you do from there.

      Frankly speaking, I think a GP and a psychologist is the first step on dealing with a sleeping problem when it's significantly impacting your life.

    Fantastic! Thanks OP. I bought the Muse S a little while back because it was so much cheaper but sent that back because it was super annoying to charge and therefore didnt use it all the time. This is much better - even if it helps a little with sleep it'll be worth this discounted price.

    Interesting looks great, was looking into getting an Oura ring for sleep tracking but not keen anymore seeing as they've transitioned to a subscription model for gen 3.

    Can you wear this and a CPAP mask too? I think it would be uncomfortable.
    Does anyone have any experience to share?

      If you wanna look like an astronaut going to bed it should work.

    This is obviously not for everyone

    Not enough stock?

    Also available at cpapaustralia for the same price. Worth mentioning the dreem 2 has been discontinued by the manufacturer so unsure how long the company will provide support. Has a 30 day money back guarantee so worth a shot.

      More on this here: https://sleepgadgets.io/dreem-2-headband-review/

      Jeff Mann: What exactly is the decision the company has made, and why?
      Dreem: We have stopped selling the headband to consumers as we are focusing on healthcare industry partners to have a larger impact. This might be just a goodbye. We are working on very interesting projects that you may hear about soon

      Jeff Mann: Will my headband become a brick if something goes wrong?
      Dreem: As long as the headband is under the 2 years warranty, we will take good care of it, whatever the issue is. After this period, don’t hesitate to contact us so we can understand the situation and advise :-).

      Jeff Mann: Will the Dreem app continue to be updated?
      Dreem: our team will be dedicated to guaranteeing a service continuation. This is very important to us as we value our relationship with every consumer who has purchased the headband in the past 3 years

      • Thanks mate. I saw this before but couldnt find it on a quick search.

        • Sounds like a dead duck then. It's an interesting insight in to hopefully a future world where our sleep can be improved by using technology.

          I just read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker and he talks about the use of pink noise to improve deep sleep towards the end of the book. I hope the technology eventually arrives because the book provided me with everything I need to know about why my sleep is important.

          • @C0mbat: I dont think its dead. They are just focusing on healthcare industry partners rather than sales to consumers. Their website shows a Dreem 3 which I suspect will only be sold to sleep labs and the like. Hopefully that means the app will be supported well after the 2 year warranry period.

    Gladly used one of these at home as part of a sleep study. If you have it for an extended period of time you will definitely get some use out of it. Sometimes the readings can be a bit bogus, especially if you have long hair. One of the best nights sleeps that I had, it said that I woke up 9 times which is just not true. I loved the ambient sounds feature though! Thought that these cost way more than they actually do. Definitely felt like a super premium experience

    • We all wake up multiple times without realising or remembering.

      • I used the device for several months, I understand this. But this event was like 5 times my normal amount of waking up

    Try this on before you buy it. I had one and I don't like the feeling with it.

  • Thanks for posting the deal.
    As a CPAP (APAP to be exact), I am naturally interested in my sleep - have used a Fitbit in the past, and then upgraded to the Apple Watch (only to find that I had to PAY for apps to do what my Fitbit did without additional cost!!).

    Anyway, this is interesting, but expensive. I no longer even look at my CPAP data on my computer - just a brief scan of the summary stats in the morning and then the day begins.
    I fail to see what I could do with this additional data that would make my sleep better.
    With only a 2 year warranty, it's $200 per year for pink noise, versus (say) the Bose sleep-buds (which you could get at less than $280 in the last posted deal - $140/yr if you only expect them to last 2 yrs)

    Thanks so much OP this is awesome! I just finished my honours thesis looking at sleep quality and have been interested in Matt Walker's stuff for a while now, so this is a worthy investment. Too bad you can't get the raw data without and astronomical extra cost but I guess we can't have everything haha.

    It's probably trivial but I'll just point out that EEG isn't the gold standard for assessing sleep, that's PSG. But by 'this stuff' OP was probably referring to DIY monitoring. So not being a smartarse, just expanding (tho to be fair, there's probs a bit of smartarseary here haha)

    • @joshrav hope this isn't weird but I'd actually love to take a look at your thesis if you're comfortable with that! I've had regular sleep paralysis (multiple times a night), ever since I was a kid, and that actually fueled my interest in the effects of sleep (and other states of awareness) on neuropsychology..

  • NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

    Thx ZBC for the post. Wouldnt have looked at this even though have previously been reviewing sleep quality. Looks a brilliant product and proactive health investment.

    Sadly though the device is no longer available for direct sale (the URL link above goes to a 404 error)- the stock has been cleared out and per above the headset is no longer sold direct-to-consumer- I assume that is similar to CPAP machines, which as a pragmatist likely infers the prices will go up.

    There may be stock in the stores but QLD, NSW and VIC are sold out. FYI, Cheers.

  • Oh bugger, look like I missed out as well. Got an email today after I order on the 18th about the dreem 2 is out of stock :(

  • Just received a refund for my order that was placed on the 17th.. But when I login to ResMed the status of the order is at 'AWAITING FULFILLMENT'..

    Bit upsetting as I've been after something like this for my wife.

  • out of stock dont think there was any stock to begin with as i ordered at the start????
