No, tVNS® should not be used while sleeping due to the risk of strangulation from the device’s cable.

While tVNS® is designed for safe and comfortable use, wearing the ear electrode while asleep may result in the cable becoming tangled around the neck, posing a serious safety hazard. Additionally, proper placement and skin contact are necessary for effective stimulation, which cannot be guaranteed while sleeping.

When Should You Use tVNS®? #

To ensure both safety and effectiveness, we recommend using tVNS® during the day while awake and alert. Many users incorporate it into their daily routine, such as while reading, working, or relaxing.
