When you get the Embr device set it up so that one button cools down the hot flash for five minutes and the other button does the all night mode for seven or eight hours. I always pick the coldest cooling setting. If you need help setting it up, let me know.

I don’t use two of them for hot flashes. I went to an event where I knew the weather was going to be hot so I wore two of them and put them on constantly to keep me cooled down. I beta tested the device and have the old version and the new version. That’s why I have two. I did at one time test two of them at once to see if they helped more with hot flashes, but didn’t find a significant difference.

For sleeping at night I use a heater that goes under the sheets. It has three zones, bottom, middle and top. For my wife, I turn all three zones on. For myself, I turn on only the foot zone at the lowest temperature. That tends to have some waves of warmth come up from my feet, and my feet, don’t get cold. I have the wave device set for all night mode, and I seldom feel a hot flash. Have to sleep a little cold when you’re getting hot flashes.

I live in San Francisco, so it never gets real cold or real warm. Occasionally I have my heating blanket set to the second warm setting (there are 10) if it’s colder. If it’s over 72 or 73 in the bedroom, I will not turn it on at all.
