The purpose of nodpod is to help you relax and get to sleep, not to stay on all night. Nodpod may slip off while you're sound asleep but will always be by your side if you get to snooze-in.

Nodpod was designed with the comfort in mind. We've experimented with every weight down to the bead, and found that 9 ounces, evenly distributed, was the perfect weight for all sleeping positions.

Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation is known for its ability to calm and relax the central nervous system and has been used in clinical practice for decades. It's simply the practice of applying gently pressure to the body. This has been shown to increase serotonin levels (the feel-good hormone) while decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone). Just the kind of thing you need for a good night's sleep.
