A roll-call thread for Nidra users

Posted by missjb @missjb, Jun 27 1:03pm

I'm starting a new thread specifically for those of us with a Nidra to compare notes and to be a resource for newbies, just getting started with Nidra.

I've had mine for 15 months (since April 2025) and enjoy great success.

If you have a Nidra, too, add a posting (doesn't need to be long) so we can have a head-count of how many Nidra users are members of the Mayo Connect sleep group. Calling all Nidra-buddies! : )

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Sleep Health Support Group.

I've been using them for about 4 months, and have had great success. I wish they had a remote control as the worst part is turning them on in the middle of the night while having a cramping/spasm episode.

Hi Jim: I've used my Nidra so infrequently recently that I've noticed when I do need to turn on it is difficult figuring out where to press it on it. I'm out of practice. I can see the + but not feel it. I wear a Fitbit watch to bed and if I push my watch, it lights up a little--enough to see the Nidra bands and the +. I have to duck my head under the covers, come to think about it. If I didn't wear the watch, I would probably bring a small flashlight to bed. I agree about a remote control! That would be a good idea as an upgrade. Wonderful to hear of your success! Thanks for your post!

FYI---Noctrix Company which makes Nidra was purchased in June (2026) for 340 million dollars by a company that makes C-PAP equipment. I don't know how this will affect the good service I have experienced in the past (and raved about on the sleep forum). Hopefully, it will continue with the same great employees.
