When the mind keeps replaying the past or worrying about the future, falling asleep can feel impossible.
Stress and racing thoughts can keep your brain in overdrive, preventing it from winding down.
Mendi can help to calm that mental noise through neurofeedback training. By increasing blood flow and oxygenation in your prefrontal cortex (PFC); the brain region involved in emotional control and focus, Mendi trains your brain to self-regulate. Over time, this can support a calmer state of mind and better overall mental balance.
Mendi isn’t a traditional sleep aid like medication or supplements. Instead, it’s a training tool for the brain; helping you reduce rumination and stress patterns that can interfere with restful sleep. Many users report that consistent training helps them unwind more easily and feel mentally clearer during the day.
How Mendi Supports Better Sleep
Reduces overactive thinking: Training the PFC helps the brain regulate intrusive or looping thoughts; a common cause of sleeplessness.
Promotes calm focus: Improved self-regulation supports lower stress responses and better emotional stability.
Enhances mindfulness: Like meditation, Mendi encourages awareness and relaxation; both shown to improve sleep quality over time.
While these benefits are indirect, they can contribute to the kind of mental balance that supports healthy sleep habits.
When to Use Mendi
Some users enjoy a session in the evening, but it’s best not to train immediately before bed.
Because Mendi activates the prefrontal cortex, using it too close to bedtime can sometimes make it harder to drift off.
Try finishing your session at least an hour before bed to let your mind naturally settle into rest.
Tips for Evening Sessions
If you prefer training later in the day:
Use Night Mode on your phone or dim, yellow-tinted lighting to reduce blue light exposure.
Close your eyes and focus on the audio feedback for a more meditative experience.
Pair your session with gentle breathing or mindfulness exercises to deepen relaxation.
Small adjustments like these can make evening sessions more soothing and supportive of better rest.
