Participants will use the device under supervision for 30 minutes a day over 4 weeks, followed by a 4-week observation period. Researchers will assess sleep improvements, safety, and how acceptable and easy the treatment is for participants.\n\nAllocation: Randomized to either active device or control device usage.\n\nEndpoint classification: Efficacy Study\n\nIntervention Model: Parallel Assignment in 1:1 active to control allocation\n\nSample size: The aim is to recruit a total of up to 60 participants.
