My 3 a.m. wake-ups stopped when I started testing this pebble shaped device — here's why and how it works
I tested the Sensate vagus nerve stimulator for a week to see if it could reduce my daily stress levels. It works, but is it worth its £299/$299 price tag? Here's what I think.
The Sensate is a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator (nVNS) designed to combat stress and anxiety. This smooth, pebble-shaped device sends out electrical pulses along the vagus nerve to de-stress the nervous system. Measuring 6.95 x 6.25 x 10.75cm and weighing just 0.385g, the Sensate costs $299/£299. It features a 90-day money back guarantee and ships worldwide.
The device works by placing it on the sternum, where it stimulates the vagus nerve, reducing sympathetic nerve activity and increasing parasympathetic nerve activity. Users can pair the device with a calming soundscape via the app for 10-30 minutes. While there are cheaper vagus nerve stimulators on the market, the Sensate offers a more comfortable and effective experience.
