The difference people feel
I was the person who woke up at 2 or 3 AM with my heart racing for no reason. Four months of that and you start dreading bedtime. I use this for 4 minutes before sleep now. First week I noticed I was not waking up at 3 anymore. By week three I was sleeping through.
I carry stress in my neck and shoulders. By the end of the day my jaw is sore from clenching. This was the first thing that actually made my shoulders drop without me trying. I use it after work now, not just at bedtime.
My wife bought this for me because she was tired of me lying there wound up at midnight. I thought it was going to be another thing in the drawer. Three weeks in and I fall asleep before the session ends most nights.
Takes a few days to get used to wearing it. But once I did, the difference was real. I used to need an hour to wind down after work, now 4 minutes with this and I feel like a different person. Giving it 4 stars because the gel runs out faster than I expected.
Honestly skeptical about anything nerve stimulation but the research convinced me to try it. The feeling is strange at first, like a gentle pulse on your neck. By day 5 I was just calmer in the evenings. By week 2 I was out before the timer finished. Worth every dollar.
Perimenopause wrecked my sleep and my stress levels. Hot flashes, racing thoughts, wide awake at 4 AM. My doctor said try melatonin. Did nothing. This actually calms my whole body down. I use it twice a day now - after lunch and before bed.
Stressed all day. Wired all night.
The stress follows you to bed. Your jaw is clenched, your shoulders are up, your brain is replaying the day on loop. You tried melatonin, breathing exercises, magnesium, the sleep podcast. Nothing works because none of it touches the actual problem.
Your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight. Melatonin cannot fix that. It is a clock, not an off-switch. What you need is something that tells your body: stand down.
- "my body is tired but my brain won't stop"
- "I carry the stress in my neck and jaw all day"
- "I wake up at 3 AM with my heart pounding"
- "too wired to sleep, too stressed to function"
The problem was never your sleep schedule. It is a nervous system that will not let go of the day.
The vagus nerve. It runs from your neck to your brain.
Every mammal has one. It is the nerve that tells your heart to slow, your muscles to unclench, your cortisol to drop. When it fires, your body shifts out of fight-or-flight and into rest.
Chronic stress keeps it quiet. Your body forgets how to switch off. The Komfora neckband sends a gentle 4-minute pulse through the skin of your neck, directly to this nerve. No needles, no surgery, no drugs. Just the signal your body stopped sending itself.

01
It activates your vagus nerve
A gentle electrical pulse travels through the skin of your neck to the vagus nerve underneath. The same nerve your body uses to slow your heart, release your muscles, and drop your cortisol.
-
02
Your nervous system shifts
The vagus nerve tells your brain to stand down. Stress hormones drop. Your breathing deepens. Your body moves from fight-or-flight into the state it needs to rest and recover.
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a non-invasive method studied in over 50 clinical trials with more than 1,300 participants.
The research behind vagus nerve stimulation
Not testimonials. Not a founder's hunch. Peer-reviewed, sham-controlled clinical trials on sleep and stress.
During a stress test, cortisol stayed at 49.5% of baseline with stimulation vs 106% with placebo
Sleep quality improved 2.4 times more than placebo over six weeks of daily use
Neck stimulation lowered heart rate by 5.7% and increased blood flow by 30.8% after a stress task
Studies refer to the method (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation), not to this specific device.

Stap 1 · 1000×10001
Apply the gel
A thin layer of conductive gel on both electrode pads. Takes five seconds.
-
Stap 2 · 1000×10002
Put it on
The neckband sits on both sides of your neck, right where the vagus nerve runs. Adjust the intensity until you feel a gentle pulse.
-
Stap 3 · 1000×10003
Relax
Four minutes. Your heart rate slows, your stress hormones drop, your muscles release. Use it before bed or after a hard day.
Fall asleep before it ends? It switches itself off.
You were not doing it wrong. You had the wrong tool.
Melatonin tells your body what time it is. That is all it does. If your problem is stress that follows you to bed, a clock does not help. The vagus nerve is the off-switch melatonin never was.

The questions you are actually thinking
Is this not just placebo?
In double-blind trials, people who got real stimulation had measurably lower cortisol and better sleep than people who got the same device with no active pulse. The difference was clear and consistent across multiple studies. We are not asking you to believe - we are asking you to try it for 60 days.
I have tried everything. Why would this be different?
Because most of what you tried works on timing or sedation. Melatonin tells your body what time it is. Sleeping pills knock you out. Neither one touches the nervous system that is keeping you stressed and wired. Vagus nerve stimulation works on that system directly - it tells your brain to shift out of fight-or-flight.
Does it help with stress too, or just sleep?
Both. The vagus nerve controls your entire rest-and-digest response. In clinical trials, cortisol dropped by half during stress. Most people use it before bed, but it works any time you need to come down - after work, before a meeting, during a tough day.
Only 4 minutes? How is that enough?
The electrical pulse activates the vagus nerve directly. It does not need to build up over an hour. In the clinical trials, measurable physiological changes (heart rate, blood flow, cortisol) happened within minutes. Four minutes is enough to shift your nervous system.
Is it safe?
A systematic review of 51 studies with 1,322 people found tVNS safe and well tolerated. The most common side effect is mild skin tingling at the electrode site. Do not use if you have a pacemaker, implanted electronics, heart rhythm disorders, or are pregnant.
Do I need an app?
No. Press the button, adjust the intensity, done. No account, no subscription, no firmware updates.
What does it feel like?
A gentle pulsing on both sides of your neck. Most people describe it as unusual the first time, then barely noticeable after a few sessions. It should never be painful - if it is, turn the intensity down.
How is this different from Pulsetto?
Pulsetto costs $269 for the device, then $139 per year for the app, plus $51 for gel. That is over $460 in year one. Komfora is $149, one time. No app required, no subscription, gel refills are $8. And we have a 60-day money-back guarantee - no restocking fee, no questions.
You have already spent more on things that did not work
The melatonin, the apps, the supplements, the weighted blanket. Add it up. This costs less than most of them, takes 4 minutes a day, and comes with 60 days to prove it works. If it does not, you get your money back and keep the gel and sleep mask.
- The neckband, 60ml conductive gel, and a blackout sleep mask included
- Drug-free, no grogginess, nothing to wean off
- 4 minutes a day. No app, no subscription, no ongoing cost
