This sleeping mat can help you sleep. It can also help you relax. Let's check this out
0:09
Dave Taylor here, and like so many people, I have my challenges getting to sleep some nights
0:19
And there are other nights or even during the day when I just feel all this stress in my body
0:24
And I really need some sort of approach that helps me de-stress and relax
0:30
And if I'm going to allocate some time for a nap, I want it to be maximally efficient so that I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to jump back into my day
0:40
Enter this. This rather unlikely looking thing is the mind-lacks neurofeedback sleeping mat
0:49
And it's quite fascinating. Now, at its most obvious, it is a pad and it is a very comfortable thing
0:56
You can sit on it. You can also lay on it. And I think it works better when you're laying on it, but its intention is to both give you the ability to fall asleep more quickly and to improve your sleep quality
1:10
But it has two primary modes. It has sleep and it has relax
1:15
And the way this works is that all of the smarts are in the middle section
1:20
So there's a whole thing here. And you can see the little controller on the side, though mostly you'll be using the controls in the ass
1:30
on your mobile phone because it's much more sophisticated than this controller, but
1:34
basically this gives you both low frequency vibrations and sound and it's very
1:44
relaxing. Imagine having a like pad that you're using that gives you like a gentle
1:52
massage and having a sleep sound machine, but imagine all of that on steroids because
1:59
that's really what this is. It's way more sophisticated, but those are the basic functions
2:04
Its intention is to actually enhance your alpha brain waves. And the alpha brain waves
2:11
and I had to learn this for this review, are the ones that kick in when you're falling asleep
2:16
and they're the ones that are involved in sleeping and in your sleep quality
2:20
So there's a lot of science behind this that actually helps you get your alpha waves
2:26
to kick in faster and be stronger which gives you all of these great benefits
2:31
So you can use it for sleeping, for napping. It's also really good for meditation
2:36
If you're a meditator, you can certainly sit cross-legged with your bottom right here
2:41
and get a really good result from that too. And what people report is that they get into their meditative state much faster
2:50
So it doesn't have any speakers. This is really interesting. It's using what's known as a multi-frequency waveguide system
2:58
and there are some rare metals involved here too Now not having a speaker doesn mean you don hear things I give you a demo in just a second But along the way there I just wanted to show you initially that it comes with a really slick app
3:14
And let's see, this is turned on, and it's connected. So this is the Mind Lacks app
3:22
And as you can see, I can adjust it for sleep. I can also choose relax
3:29
And then there are a couple of different settings I can make, and I can check
3:33
the battery level. Worth knowing is that it's a USBC charger. It is battery powered. It runs for
3:39
18 hours when you fully charged it, which means that you're probably going to be able to use it
3:45
for four or five nights easy because you don't need it on all night. You just needed to help
3:50
you get into that state. And then once we choose something, so let's just do a level one relax
3:57
and you heard that. Remember, it's not a speaker. It's that MWS thing
4:09
So now it's going to start doing this. Obviously, I am not using it
4:13
I'll show you it in use in a second, but I wanted to show you that I can choose intensity
4:18
and that's for the vibrations, obviously, and then I can choose different modes
4:23
And I actually like to have it pretty far up so it's pretty strong, but you can adjust and tweak that
4:32
And if you have a partner that maybe doesn't want to feel that vibration on their side of the mattress
4:37
A, you might need a better mattress, but B, you can also dial down your intensity
4:42
So now, let me pause this, and let me go and jump on and actually show you
4:47
I'll show you how it works when I'm in a seated position. One of the ways you can use the mind lax is you can use it for relaxation in a seated position
4:56
And you can see by where the control is that the main segment is right behind my lower back
5:03
It's approximately at the base of my spine, and that's going to be a good positioning
5:08
Then all I need to do is pick up my phone, and I'm going to do a level one relaxation
5:14
and you can see here that it's going to start up, and let's listen
5:24
And in addition to hearing that, I'm starting to feel the vibrations
5:30
And what you need to do here is you need to slow down and start synchronizing your breathing with the rhythm of the unit
5:45
And I can feel the sort of vibrations and you can hear the music
5:56
Now all of this neurofeedback is really good and it really can help me get into a sort of alpha state where I can actually have more relaxation But I going to be candid I think this thing works better when you laying down And you going to have it in approximately the same position
6:23
but just laying down for me, it's a lot easier for me to let go of all the stresses of the day
6:30
and just really either do relaxation or have a short nap or have it helped me get to sleep
6:38
Now, I want you to be able to hear some of the audio. So let's switch to some nice imagery and I'm going to give you about a minute of the audio
6:47
track so you can hear. It's very relaxing and especially when you're laying in bed in the dark, it is a very calming experience
7:41
It's really a fascinating device, and it's the kind of thing where when I read about it, I was like, hmm, I don't know, I'm a little skeptical
8:00
But when I actually pulled it out of its convenient travel case, let me show you, this comes with a really nice hard case
8:07
so that if you want to take it with you on a trip, for example, you're going to your
8:11
your in-laws and it makes it really easy to transport. That's included in the price
8:17
It is a pretty substantial price. We'll get to there in a minute. It also has this handy cheat sheet
8:22
but you don't really need it because once you've paired it with your phone, then you're really going to be doing everything through the Mind Lacks app
8:31
But let me tell you just a couple more things about it, one of which is that when it's fully open
8:36
let me just get it fully open. So when it's fully open, it is 40 inches long by 29 inches wide
8:45
And then when you close it by folding it and then doing this, then it gets down to 25 by 14 inches
8:53
So it never gets super small. It's something that really having its own travel case is very beneficial
8:59
But you will so appreciate if you were to put this in your car for your next road trip or something
9:05
or even use it while you're driving. Imagine that. Or maybe you have someone else driving, you use this while you're a passenger, and you just need that hour off from driving because it's been six hours on that highway is looking a little blurry at this point
9:19
So it comes with a 21 satisfaction guarantee So seriously you can get this you can try this you can go through their whole alpha wave neurofeedback training system and you can get to the end and you can say you know it not working for me and they give you your money back
9:36
Now, I suspect that you will actually love this thing. This is really cool, and I'm really excited to have my son, in particular, who suffers some terrible insomnia
9:46
I'm really excited to have him try this for a week or two and just see if it can change his life by giving him back his sleep
9:56
There are some warnings here. Most importantly, this is not something you want to use if you're pregnant
10:01
So read through the warnings if you have medical conditions or devices in your body
10:06
But otherwise, this is really fun. It's really interesting. And it is entirely ready to go right out of the box
10:15
You can also buy like a sheet that you can put over it too if you want
10:20
But it is definitely something to check out. But we do need to talk about the price
10:26
However, before we get to the price, I'm going to invite you to subscribe to my channel
10:30

10:50
I always appreciate a thumbs up. And don't forget to click on that bell icon so you get
10:55
notifications of my future reviews. Great. Now this, I guess I'll just show it this way
11:02
is the Mind Lacks neurofeedback sleeping mat. And it is $499 at MindLax.com, including this $100 value travel
11:14
case. And if you want to get one of those sheets that's designed to fit exactly perfectly on this
11:21
then that's $39.99. And I will note, if you're a body worker, if you do massage, if you do
11:27
hypnotherapy, if you do anything like that, having this for your patients could be a game changer
11:34
for them. Even if they don't get the chance to do that 30 or 45 day training thing or, you know
11:41
sort of step through all the different options, for you to tell them to lay down and just
11:47
lay in a dark room with all of this working for 10 or 15 minutes and then you come back
11:52
you're going to find them transformed and you didn't even have to do that much. So, for those of us
11:58
that aren't body workers, why not get that benefit for yourself at home? So definitely check out
12:03
the mind lax. I think I'm ready for a nap, actually. So I will have to catch you in my next video
