The cooling sessions do provide a little refreshment, but not enough to combat extreme outdoor heat. I've tested Wave 2 cooling waves while dining out on a hot patio in 90-degree heat, after a hot outdoor workout, and while sunbathing. They're refreshing and do cool my wrists effectively, but not my entire body. Embr Labs does make comfort bands made of nylon with Velcro closures, which sounds much better for sleeping, so at least they offer some alternatives.Īnother issue I have with the Wave 2 has to do with the cold waves, as briefly mentioned earlier.

It makes me feel safe and secure while I settle in for some ZZZ's. I love turning on the fall asleep-warm session on my Wave 2 while I drift off to dreamland. I like the temperature of the room I sleep in to err on the colder side, but that's so I can comfortably snuggle under my down comforter - I like to feel cozy while I sleep. When I'm feeling anxious, turning a warming session on soothes my nerves and calms my anxiety - much like the effect of drinking a warm cup of tea. Use warming or cooling sessions to address hot flashes, comfort, stress, and sleep. I've found the warming waves to be the most effective for my body.

The default cool setting is three, and the default warm setting is two. You can adjust warm and cool temperatures on a scale of one to five. You'll see an LED light in the center that turns blue during a cooling session and red during a warming session. The left side is preset to cold, and the right side, warm.
