Who should buy which
Anyone using their phone as an alarm clock, light sleepers needing white noise, or families wanting a kids-friendly smart light.
You're already on Loftie (similar function, simpler), or you don't need any of the four functions bundled.
Buyers who've already optimized sleep hygiene + tracking + environment (Oura + Eight Sleep dialed in) and still have sleep-onset latency or fragmentation. Buyers willing to commit to a 15-minute pre-bed ritual nightly. Researchers / quantified-self readers who want the most evidence-backed neurostim wearable.
You haven't yet fixed the basics (consistent bedtime, dark room, cool temperature, no screens in the hour before bed). The basics return 80% of the result at zero hardware cost, Somnee is the long-tail intervention, not the entry point. Also skip if you're sensitive to anything wrapped around your head while sleeping or in early-bed wind-down.
