Proving the value of a sleep cycle reset: How Muse and Sonnet work together

You already know that Muse, the portable EEG headband, is the most accurate sleep wearable on the market, with an 86% sleep detection rate—outperforming ring (76%) and wrist wearables (75%).

If Muse shows you’re not getting enough sleep, it’s not just information - it’s a call to action. One of our favorite ways to support better rest is Sonnet, an all-natural supplement designed to help you relax, unwind, and improve sleep quality. Together, Muse and Sonnet can help you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to achieve your goals.

What’s happening when we sleep?

When we sleep, we go through a series of cycles that all serve a purpose, from memory consolidation to tissue repair to waste cleanup and much more. But with the realities of modern society and the demands of our day-to-day lives, it’s easy to skip cycles and trade real rest for less productive, lighter sleep. It is entirely possible you might be sleeping the same amount of time as before, and just not getting the same benefit.

Here’s how it starts.

Many people try to “catch up” on their sleep when they can. Maybe an extra hour or two on the weekends, a nap in the recliner, or dozing off on the train. They also resort to overdoses of melatonin, first-generation antihistamines (like Benadryl® and Unisom®), alcohol, or cannabis to try to capitalize on whatever opportunity they have.

But while naps can feel good and some substances can knock you out, they rarely allow for the critical restorative sleep you need. Those antihistamines can also bring with them concerns around dependency and issues with long-term brain health. You find yourself trading one short-term “solution” for another when you wake up–you ping-pong back and forth between stuff that might knock you out at night and stuff that keeps you awake in the day; both sides of which perpetuate the issue. 

Aspire to a life that doesn’t alternate between being tired and wired.

You’re not yourself when you’re tired. You can’t bring all you have to your relationships, your ambitions, or even your wants. Life is an active endeavor, and bringing your natural energy to it is a critical unlock. But it’s hard.

Modern society just isn’t structured to match what our bodies and minds need to achieve easy natural restful sleep: Our worlds are flooded with artificial light and temperature patterns that confuse our circadian rhythm; rather than a wind-down as the night falls, we continue working or check social media until right before we try to fall asleep, systematically over-engaging our sympathetic nervous system; and we struggle to find the time to get the physical activity we evolved to expect. We simply can’t rely on many of the things our bodies used to be able to for initiating and maintaining restorative sleep.

Muse and Sonnet are working to help you live a life well rested.

It all starts with knowing. Are there patterns of behavior that can help get you to live a life better rested? Is there a natural supplement like Sonnet–which is designed to help dial down that overactive sympathetic nervous system and achieve a relaxed state–that can help me get the restorative rest I need? Muse complements this by delivering unmatched sleep tracking accuracy. Together, they help you identify what works and what doesn’t—in real time.

Muse surpasses wrist and ring wearables sleep accuracy by leveraging advanced EEG technology to monitor your brain activity during sleep, offering precise insights into your patterns. With Muse, you can clearly see how Sonnet’s formulations are impacting your sleep quality and adjust your habits accordingly to optimize rest.

But it doesn’t stop there. Muse also tracks your daytime recovery with features like Alpha Peak and Brain Recharge Scores. Alpha Peak measures your brain's peak performance over time, while Brain Recharge shows how well you rebound from daily challenges, enabling you to:

• Recover faster from mental fatigue

• Stay focused during demanding tasks

• Boost decision-making accuracy

• Strengthen long-term brain health

These insights guide your mindfulness and biofeedback training with Muse, helping you achieve sustainable performance gains and a better quality of life.

Sonnet’s non-addictive, American-made blend of ingredients addresses common sleep challenges without overloading your body. Its three targeted formulations avoid dependency-causing ingredients and high melatonin doses, ensuring a gentle, natural approach to better sleep.

Jean-Michel Fournier, CEO of Muse, said: “At Muse, we partner with brands that share our commitment to advancing brain health. Together with Sonnet’s all-natural ingredients and real restorative sleep, our neurofeedback technology delivers sustainable focus, energy, and clarity for individuals striving to reach their full potential.”

How to get the most out of Muse and Sonnet

Starting is easy. Just use Muse before you start on Sonnet to establish a baseline. Then, add Sonnet and note the day and night. Sonnet’s ingredients are designed to build over time, so give it a week and track the results and see if your energy levels and intake choices change. Sonnet is on a mission to give you a life well-rested, so if you solve your sleep and lower the frequency you take it or stop entirely while being able to maintain that great sleep, we all consider that a huge win. It’s about helping you sleep, full stop.

With these real-time insights into not just your brain’s performance, but the tangible results from better choices, you can improve your life with no fuss or learning curve.

As with all things Muse, consistency is the key.
