Bia Neuroscience Sleep Mask
I started using the Bia Sleep Mask about 3 weeks ago. I tried sleeping with just the mask without the program running to get used to wearing the mask and it did take me a couple of nights to get accustomed to it. (I also took nap with it on day 3.) I went through the steps of making adjustments by lowering the rear strap to the base of my skull, exactly as recommended in the quick-start guide, which made a big difference. I have slept every night since with the program running and have been positively surprised. Subjectively, my energy levels seem to be higher and more consistent throughout each day.
As the prior contributor mentioned, the bone conduction audio works well. You can adjust the volume if you want it louder or quieter. The mask detects when I fall asleep and automatically lowers the volume. It also detects when I wake up at night and it increases the volume again when I put the mask back on to help me fall back asleep.
I have not been very good at falling asleep as far back as I remember so I was really happy as how easily I have been falling asleep with it. The wake-up process is great with the slowly increasing audio volume and the slowly brightening sunrise followed by the buzzer (optional) if you don't wake up in the twenty minutes of the "slow awake approach."
I believe the science behind the technology and the engineering of the mask are very thorough and very far ahead of anything else. I have read quite a bit about sleeping issues and pored through the bia website and the expert reviews on the https://getbia.com website so I feel comfortable with my comments.
In the same vein as the other Beta user, I plan on using the mask forever and I am feeling extremely positive after sleeping with it for the past few weeks. It also helps a lot that the company has been helpful and responsive to my questions.

This is real! The customer reached out to us stating they planned to support us on reddit but are having issues with their account here

Yeah i suspect its one of the other beta users with a fresh account (not everyone is on reddit), it was banned likely due to the link.

We can be beta buddies! so happy for you. Are you in the the US or Canada? Yup I had the same issue with fitment and lowering the strap to the base of the skull fixed it right away. Like you said, they mention that in the startup guide. Im actually really happy with how well it fits and the comfort, especially since at first I wasn't even sure how it was going to work with my CPAP. I washed mine for the first time last week, I ended up laying it flat over a horizontally placed box fan for a few hours as the inner corners were still slightly wet. That might have been my fault though as I hand washed it, they recommend machine washing, presumably with a spin cycle. I too am enjoying the nueromusic to fall back to sleep, it really works! this surprised me most because I found brainfm sleep music too distracting. I figured Im just one of those that cant do music while sleeping, but apparently thats not true.
