Testimonials from real users of Som

“For the past few years, it has typically taken me 1-2 hours or more to fall asleep each night. However, after completing one of your NSDR sessions yesterday, I managed to fall asleep in about 30 minutes. I can’t remember the last time I fell asleep that quickly.”

“Your app is fantastic, I have tried and failed to properly execute any form of meditation including YN/NSDR but for some reason it works with your method. Thank you so much!”

“Love its simplicity. No nonsense or upsells or content I don’t need. Just simple NSDR in a straightforward interface.”

“The meditations are really good, I haven’t found any other app that can really help me feel the same state of deep relaxation.”

We believe everyone can achieve transformative states of deep sleep and relaxation.

You don’t need a guru or coach. You don’t need to spend months in silent retreat. You don’t need pills, expensive gadgets, or years of therapy. With Som, anyone can learn to access a powerful state between waking and sleep that will redefine what you believe to be possible in your life.

What’s NSDR and how does it work?

NSDR is a simple, guided audio experience that induces a unique state of deep relaxation similar to sleep. This powerful state improves stress resilience & sleep quality, and can benefit your health & performance in every aspect of your life.

An approach to sleep, wellness, and peak performance unlike any other.

When you stop seeking external, quick-fix solutions — and start seeing deep mental & physical relaxation as a skill anyone can learn with the right tools & training — you open the door to transformative change.

NSDR might sound new, but it’s time-tested and science-backed.

Som’s NSDR program is based on practices used for thousands of years to achieve transformative states of deep relaxation.

Over 30 scientific research studies now show benefit from these types of practices.

Our founding story

Hi there! I’m Antoine, the founder and developer of Som. I’m a Stanford-educated engineer and I’ve suffered from severe, chronic insomnia for years without finding a solution. Som is the result of four years of research, development, and testing to create the simplest and most effective program for NSDR practice — and I’ve used it successfully to eliminate my insomnia. As I’ve continued to practice, I’ve also experienced a whole host of additional benefits to my mental and physical health.

Since then I’ve made it my mission to make this practice and its benefits available to all. 98% of users who’ve done 20 or more sessions with Som reported an improvement in their sleep quality, stress levels, or both.
