Participants: 6 John Carroll University students
3 men, 3 women
Mix of varsity athletes and non-athletes
Study Duration: 2 months
Month 1: No use of Sleep Hypnos (control period)
Month 2: Nightly use of Sleep Hypnos sleeve
Monitoring Tools:
Tracked sleep using WHOOP, a wearable health tracker
WHOOP has been shown to be over 85% accurate in measuring sleep stages compared to polysomnography, the gold standard in sleep research
The Sleep Science
It all started with a dream—literally. As full-time students balancing academics, athletics, and leadership, we knew firsthand how quality sleep fuels success. We set out to create a natural, effective solution to help people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. That vision became Hypnos, where science meets innovation to transform the way you rest—because better sleep leads to a better life.
We wanted to see if Sleep Hypnos could truly make a difference. So, we ran a study with six JCU students—an even mix of men and women, including student-athletes and non-athletes. For one month, they tracked their sleep without the sleeve, then wore Sleep Hypnos nightly for the next. Using WHOOP, the most advanced wearable for sleep tracking—shown to be over 85% accurate in measuring sleep stages compared to clinical polysomnography—we monitored their progress. The difference was clear—better sleep, improved relaxation, and positive feedback all around. This small study gave us big confidence in what Sleep Hypnos can do.
Armed with research and a vision, we got to work. We designed and built the Oneiros Band, using a premium blend of breathable, cooling materials and a pearl-like bead strategically placed for comfort and sustained pressure on the P6 point. The result? A sleek, adjustable sleep solution that naturally promotes relaxation—helping you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed.
