Use Case · Sleep Optimization

Your Sleep Tracker Tells You What Happened. SomniCue Decides What Happens Next.

Wearables measure your sleep — stages, duration, HRV. Useful, but passive. SomniCue is the first tool that actively directs what your brain does during deep sleep, instead of letting eight hours run on autopilot.

Tracking ≠ Optimizing

You already know your sleep score. You watch your deep sleep minutes. You optimize bedtime, caffeine cutoff, room temperature. All of that gets you more deep sleep — great. But the deep sleep itself? It runs on whatever your brain decides to replay that night.

That's where Targeted Memory Reactivation comes in. By tagging what matters during the day with a sensory cue, then replaying that cue during slow-wave sleep, you turn passive recovery into directed consolidation.

Stack It With Your Existing Sleep Stack

SomniCue layers on top of whatever you already use. Keep your Oura, Whoop, Eight Sleep, Garmin — they handle measurement. SomniCue handles direction. The Apple Watch (if you have one) feeds SomniCue real-time deep-sleep detection so cues fire only during slow-wave phases — when consolidation peaks.

  • Reads sleep stages from Apple HealthKit / Health Connect
  • Cues fire only during N3 (slow-wave) deep sleep
  • Cue volume calibrated below your arousal threshold
  • Pauses automatically if you stir or wake
  • Same sleep quality, more useful sleep output

What You Get for the Same 8 Hours

You're not adding anything to your night. Same bedtime, same room, same wearables. The only change: your sleeping brain now has a list. Wake up with sharper recall on what you tagged the day before — meeting takeaways, a new vocabulary set, a key insight from a book.

Common Questions

Will SomniCue mess with my sleep score?+

No. Cues fire below the arousal threshold — your brain processes them without waking you. In studies, participants had no idea cues were being delivered. Sleep architecture remains intact.

Do I need to stop using my Oura / Whoop / Eight Sleep?+

No. Keep using whatever you've got — they measure, SomniCue directs. We read sleep stages from HealthKit so cues land in the right window.

Does this work without an Apple Watch?+

Yes — the app works standalone with manual sleep scheduling. The Watch makes targeting more precise (real-time deep sleep detection vs. spreading cues across a sleep window), but it's not required.
