How to Use NuCalm
Welcome to NuCalm.
Using NuCalm is simple. Choose a program based on how you want to feel right now, press play, and let NuCalm do the work.
Start by asking yourself:
What do I want to do right now, and how do I want to feel?
- Looking for immediate stress relief? Use Rescue.
- Ready for deep restorative sleep all night long? Turn on DeepestSleep or DeepestSleep+.
- Need a 20-minute power nap? Use PowerNap.
- Trying to get more done in less time? Turn on Focus.
- Looking for creativity and fresh ideas? Use FlowState.
- Want peak mental energy and mistake-free performance? Try Ignite.
- Need mental inspiration and intention? Start with Priming.
Start with the foundation.
Stress affects how we sleep, think, recover, and perform. NuCalm helps balance your nervous system, and a balanced nervous system is key to everything… your mental health, your physical health, your hormones, your sexual health, your resilience, and your longevity.
Rescue is the place to start. Make it part of your everyday routine, then explore the rest of the NuCalm app.
The science behind NuCalm is complex. Using it doesn’t have to be.
Best Practices
Getting the Best NuCalm Experience
A few simple tips can help you get the most out of every NuCalm session.
- Download your favorite programs. NuCalm programs are large, so downloading them ahead of time helps prevent interruptions during your session.
- Use your favorite headphones. Any comfortable, quality headphones will work, including in-ear buds.
- Make it part of your routine. The more you use NuCalm, the easier it is to find the products that work best for you.
- Remember, NuCalm is more than music. NuCalm is patented neuroacoustic technology, precisely designed for different experiences. That’s also why NuCalm programs are much larger than a typical song.
That’s it.
Choose your product. Press play. Make NuCalm part of your day.
