FIND YOUR FIX
What is your biggest sleep problem?
In today's world, sleep is a nervous system problem rather than a routine problem.
HOW DUSQ WAS DESIGNED FOR IT
DUSQ runs a continuous closed loop DETECT–INTERVENE–STABILISE cycle through the night.
It detects imperceptible breaks in sleep called microarousals in real time and delivers a proprietery mix of non-invasive vagus and vestibular nerve stimulation calibrated to that moment.

- INTERVENE
- STABILISE
WHY THIS HAPPENS
You're carrying a hectic day's overstimulated nervous system through the evening into the night
HOW DUSQ WAS DESIGNED FOR IT
DUSQ calculates your nervous system's readiness for sleep through the evening and intervenes if low
Once you are ready for bed, a personalized onset session gently guides you into sleep.
- DETECT
- INTERVENE
- STABILISE
WHY THIS HAPPENS
Your sleep was fragmented by invisible surges with deep sleep most affected causing poor recovery
HOW DUSQ WAS DESIGNED FOR IT
DUSQ protects deep sleep by catching micro arousals before they fragment the night.
The stimulation is gentle enough that you never notice it, and strong enough to protect restorative stages.
- DETECT
- INTERVENE
- STABILISE
WHY THIS HAPPENS
These are not three distinct problems. They are the same nervous system dysregulation showing up in three areas.
HOW DUSQ WAS DESIGNED FOR IT
The same closed loop runs continuously, not just at bedtime.
It works on the pattern underneath all three, not on one symptom at a time.
- DETECT
- INTERVENE
- STABILISE
Thousands of people are already sleeping better with DUSQ, every day.
DUSQ Began Where Other Sleep Solutions Stopped
Dr Siddhant BhargavaCEO and Founder, DUSQ
I was diagnosed with lupus and cancer back to back in my twenties.
My body's recovery was wrecked. My sleep stack bill ran into the thousands.
Trackers just told me how badly I was sleeping. Melatonin knocked me out. The rest was either habit forming or snake oil.
I didn't trust that the other solutions worked. I finally built one that did.
This is not my first product. I have built three medtech devices and one nutrition company (acquired) before this one.
How it works
Detects when sleep breaks
Our patented EDA sensors monitor skin conductance to track the small arousals that ruin your sleep quality through the night.
These arousals don't (always) break your sleep consciously and don't show up on regular sensors that most wearables use. We built our EDA sensing using 50M+ datapoints.
Intervenes automatically and adaptively
Once a surge is detected, the device uses FDA cleared vagus-vestibular nerve stimulation tech to dampen it before it wrecks your sleep.
The device works with your nervous system baseline to deliver stimulation suited to you rather than on a fixed schedule and in real time.

What better nights have felt for 2640+ people
THE PROBLEM
Years of sleep breaking at 2 AM with no recourse
I'd given up on ever sleeping through the night. Within two weeks of wearing DUSQ, I was getting 6–7 hours. My wife says I'm a different person.
THE PROBLEM
Not being able to fall asleep on time despite being tired
It used to take me anywhere between 1-2 hours of tossing and turning in bed. Melatonin helped but made waking up harder. Now, I can sleep without meds.
THE PROBLEM
Never getting enough deep sleep
Falling asleep has never been a problem for me but my tracker showed that I would barely get ten minutes of deep sleep a night. DUSQ completely changed the game for me and now I feel like I am 25 again.

Does DUSQ come with a warranty?
Yes. DUSQ comes with a one-year warranty. Full coverage details and applicable conditions should be provided in the warranty policy.
How exactly does DUSQ detect sleep disruptions?
DUSQ uses EDA (electrodermal activity) sensing to monitor small changes in skin conductance associated with nervous system activation. These signals can help identify subtle arousals during sleep, including events you may not consciously notice.
How long till I start seeing results?
Most people notice easier evenings within the first week, with clear improvements in deep sleep (around 31% more) and fewer awakenings (26% less) around week two as their nervous system adapts. Individual results may vary.
What happens when DUSQ detects a disruption?
DUSQ uses a closed-loop system that continuously monitors your signals and responds with adaptive vagus and vestibular nerve stimulation when it identifies a relevant disruption. Rather than following a fixed stimulation schedule, it adjusts its response based on your nervous system's activity.
What does the stimulation feel like?
Most people describe it as a light tingle or gentle tapping behind the ear. Overnight stimulation is designed to be low-intensity and delivered in short bursts to minimize disturbance.
Will the stimulation wake me up during the night?
DUSQ is designed to deliver subtle stimulation while you sleep, with the aim of supporting sleep stability rather than interrupting it. Individual sensitivity can vary.
Is stimulation running continuously throughout the night?
No. DUSQ continuously monitors your signals, but stimulation is delivered in response to detected events rather than running at a fixed intensity all night.
Do I need my phone nearby overnight? What about Bluetooth / EMF?
No. DUSQ senses, stimulates, and stores overnight data on the device itself, then syncs with the app in the morning. Your phone can be switched off, in airplane mode, or in another room overnight. DUSQ uses Bluetooth Low Energy and is described as FCC-certified on the current landing page.
Can I experience the stimulation before going to sleep?
Yes. The DUSQ app includes a guided trial session so you can experience the stimulation and adjust its intensity to find a comfortable setting before your first night.
Can I use it with a CPAP or noise cancellation earbuds?
Yes. DUSQ sits behind the ear and is designed to work alongside CPAP masks and most earbuds without interfering with seals or fit.
What can I see in the DUSQ app?
The app gives you an overview of your night, including detected surges, sleep readiness, sleep score, and environmental information. It helps you understand what happened overnight and explore the factors affecting your sleep.
There are also guided sessions that you can choose from a library designed by our in-house experts.
What are surges, and why do they matter?
Surges represent periods of increased nervous system activity detected during your night. Not every surge wakes you up, but these events can be associated with interrupted sleep. The app lets you see when they occurred and understand their patterns.
What is Sleep Readiness?
Sleep Readiness helps you understand your nervous system's state before sleep, showing whether your body appears more strained or relaxed as you prepare for bed.
What does my Sleep Score tell me?
Your Sleep Score summarizes different aspects of your night. You can explore contributing factors such as sleep continuity, how long you took to fall asleep, sleep architecture, and heart-rate patterns rather than relying on one number alone.
Can I track my sleep improvements over time?
The app is designed to help you follow changes in your sleep metrics across multiple nights, so you can look for patterns rather than judging your progress based on a single night's score.
Does the app include guided wellness sessions?
Yes. Beyond nighttime monitoring, the app includes guided sessions designed to help you unwind, relax, and support your wind-down routine.
Will DUSQ still work without a paid app subscription?
Yes. The device's core stimulation functionality does not require an ongoing paid app subscription. Your first year of the app subscription is included with your purchase.
Can I actually sleep in it comfortably?
Yes. DUSQ is designed to sit discreetly behind your ear, so you can sleep on your side, back, or stomach without the bulk of larger wearables.
Can I use it with a CPAP or noise-cancelling earbuds?
Yes. DUSQ sits behind the ear and is designed to work alongside CPAP masks and most earbuds without interfering with their seals or fit. Compatibility may vary depending on the equipment used.
How much does DUSQ weigh?
DUSQ weighs approximately 12 grams and is designed to be lightweight enough to wear throughout the night.
What are sleep links, and how often do I need to replace them?
Sleep links are the replaceable skin-contact accessories used with DUSQ. Your purchase includes 12, providing approximately three months of use. Replacement packs of 12 cost $25.
What does the charging case do?
The charging case keeps your DUSQ powered between uses. DUSQ's broader system also includes bedroom environmental monitoring to help provide context about your sleep conditions.
