Wearable ultrasound patch boosts REM sleep without drugs or surgery
A wearable ultrasound patch called NEUSLeeP has been shown to help people enter REM sleep faster and stay in it longer without medication or surgery. In a study with 28 participants, the device reduced the time to reach REM by 43 minutes and increased its duration by about 16 minutes. The patch also showed potential benefits for stress regulation and emotional health by altering brain circuits related to emotion. This noninvasive technology offers a new approach to treating sleep disorders and improving mental well-being.
