About the Zeez

What can I expect from my Zeez Sleep Pebble?

Most of us begin to feel the effects of the Zeez Sleep Pebble within a few days. For some people, it can take six weeks to experience differences. [(Lucy)][0] You may take less time to fall asleep, wake less often, sleep longer, and feel more rested. What really matters is how you feel during the day. If the quality of your sleep has improved you will feel better.

Does the Zeez Sleep Pebble zap my brain?

No. The radiated power of the Zeez Sleep Pebble is too low for any measurable current to cross the skull into the brain. There is no induced field passing through the brain (unlike Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation) and no current stimulates the brain (as in Direct Cranial Stimulation). We believe that it has a resonant effect – and that our brain responds to the pulses rather than being directly affected by them.

Can I use my Zeez for naps?

Yes. It may help you to relax and to have a good quality nap. A 20 minute nap, or a full sleep cycle (90 mins) usually works best.

Can my child use the Zeez?

The Zeez is designed for adults. Young children have different sleep patterns but may benefit from the Zeez relaxation frequencies. Several teenagers have used the Zeez Sleep Pebble successfully.

Will the Zeez Pebble affect my partner?

Generally not. The field created extends upwards through two pillows, but very little to the side. However, sleep often improves when our partner sleeps better.

Is the Zeez Pebble a medical device?

No. It is simply intended to help you to sleep.

Can I continue to use sleeping medication with the Zeez Sleep Pebble?

Yes. Many people have used the Zeez Sleep Pebble alongside medications such as zopiclone, zolpidem, amitriptyline, trazadone, Lunesta, Ambien, CBD oil, and melatonin. Most have gradually tapered off their other medication.

Can medication affect the efficacy of the Zeez Sleep Pebble?

Yes. Benzodiazepines and certain drugs for the treatment of bipolar disorder affect neuronal activity. The Zeez Sleep devices may have little effect when lithium is used and less effect if Xanax, Valium, or diazepam are used regularly. Some peopel have used the Zeez's alpha frequencies during the dayt to support them to reduce benzodiazepines before sucessfully using the Zeez Sleep Pebble to help sleep. In such cases achieving good sleep may take longer than for those using other sleep medications. Contact us if you want to know more.

Drugs that reduce stomach acidity affects the absorption of nutrients and useful supplemewnts such as Vitamain D and magnesium. This in turm can affect the efficacy of the Zeez. Ths solution may be to increase supplements and eat a nutrient dense diet.

Do you ship to the USA / Canada / Australia?

Yes. We ship anywhere that we are allowed to ship. A few countries e.g. Phillipines, prohibit shipment of products containing batteries, and we don't ship to those countries.

Some countries require you to pay customs duty and / or VAT when you buy a Zeez device.

Sleep Tips for better sleep

 

The aim:

To stop “daytime” brain activity and allow “nighttime” brain activity (rest and recovery).

Every successful sleep strategy involves slowing down our brain. 

 

Help your circadian clocks:

  • Increase sleep hormone melatonin and reduce stress hormone cortisol

  • Support your adrenal system - vitamins C, B5, B6 and Magnesium 

  • Eat well, including protein (tryptophan) in the morning

  • Keep to a bedtime/wake time 

 

Increase sleep pressure:

  • Exercise –not too late, or too hard. 

  • Avoid stimulants in the afternoon / evening. 

 

Light:

  • Natural light and darkness promote melatonin production and retention. Blue light at night inhibits it. Switch devices off, and use colour shifting software at night.

 

Eating for Sleep: 

Creating good sleep is a 24/7 process:

  • Morning foods for serotonin/melatonin: Eggs, chicken nuts seeds

  • Foods to help our gut biome: Fruit, veg,  fermented foods

  • Enough energy for deep sleep: Good fats – avocado, nuts, seeds

  • Water and minerals: magnesium potassium and sodium 

  • To avoid foods that disrupt sleep: sugar, alcohol, refined carbs at night

These vitamins and minerals are involved in sleep – do you need more?

  • Vitamin B6: Fish, Banana, Avocado, Spinach, Sunflower seeds,

  • Vitamin B12: Shellfish, Liver, Fish, Eggs. 

  • Zinc: Seafood, Spinach, Pumpkin seeds, Nuts, Beans

  • Magnesium: Dark Green veg, Pumpkin seeds, Nuts, Beans. Fish

  • Potassium: Sweet potatoes, spinach, avocados, bananas

  • Sodium: Get this from high quality salt

  • Selenium: Brazil nuts – 3/4 day

  • Iodine: Seaweed, eggs, fish

 

Supplements

EMFs:

Unplug nearby electrical equipment and put Wi-Fi enabled equipment into airplane mode. Turn off your router if it is less than 7m away. Essential if you want to use a Zeez device. More info here

 

Once a poor sleep pattern has become entrenched it can be hard to change, even with great nutrition and a good lifestyle. That’s the issue that we sought to address with our Zeez Sleep Pebble and Pad, which are designed to prompt a good sleep pattern.
