How does Nudge wake me up?
Nudge vibrates on your wrist in 3 escalating stages — gentle, medium, then full intensity. Unlike sound-based alarms, vibration travels through your somatosensory pathway — a neurological channel your brain cannot filter out during any sleep phase, including deep sleep. That's why you can sleep through 14 phone alarms but can't ignore a vibration on your wrist.
Will it wake my partner?
No. The vibration is only felt by the person wearing it. We've had couples tell us their partner didn't even know the alarm went off. That's the whole point.
What are the 3 vibration stages?
Stage 1 — Gentle: A soft pulse on your wrist. Enough for light sleepers and light sleep phases.
Stage 2 — Medium: Kicks in 30 seconds later. Stronger, rhythmic pulses. This is where most deep sleepers wake up.
Stage 3 — Full: Continuous, high-intensity vibration you physically cannot ignore. Your brain has no mechanism to filter this out..2% of Nudge users wake up before Stage 3.
I set 14 phone alarms and sleep through all of them. Will this actually work?
Yes — and here's why. Your phone uses sound. Your brain actively suppresses sound during deep sleep. It doesn't matter if it's 1 alarm or 41. Nudge uses vibration — a completely different neurological pathway that works in every sleep phase, including the deepest.
Is it comfortable to sleep with?
Nudge weighs 22 grams. That's lighter than a hair tie. The band is medical-grade silicone — soft, flexible, hypoallergenic. Most customers forget they're wearing it within the first night.
Do I need an app or smartphone?
No. No app. No Bluetooth. No phone in your bedroom. One button sets your alarm. That's it. Takes 3 seconds.
How long does the battery last?
14 days on a single charge. You'll forget it even needs charging.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Then it's free. Our 100-Night Guarantee means you can try Nudge for over 3 months. If it doesn't wake you up, you get a full refund. No questions. No return shipping. No hassle.
