The Problem

You're not sleep-deprived. You're sleep-disrupted.

You wake up tired. Every. Single. Morning.

No matter what you try, something about your sleep is broken.



And it is. Your sleep breaks 20-30 times throughout the night. Micro-disruptions that destroy your deep sleep and tank your HRV- without ever waking you up.



Nothing you've tried fixes this. It wasn't designed to.



Until now.

DUSQ monitors your nervous system while you sleep and responds the moment sleep starts fragmenting.

You don't manually adjust your thermostat every time the temperature shifts. DUSQ works the same way for your nervous system.

Sense

Using its patented EDA sensor, DUSQ reads your autonomic nervous system through skin conductance, the most direct real-time signal it gives off. 
Every night it catches the micro-disruptions and sympathetic surges that fragment your sleep. These surges occur 20-30 times a night without ever waking you, but quietly cut your time in deep sleep.

Your Evening With DUSQ

Place DUSQ behind your ear. Set the case on your nightstand.

Your app shows you exactly where to place it at the precise point behind your ear. You press it in. The patch holds it. 

Behind the ear is the access point for both reading your nervous system and stimulating it. The case starts tracking your room's light, sound, and temperature.

Setup takes 15 seconds. That's it.

Go about your evening naturally. DUSQ is watching.

It monitors your nervous system creating a real time picture of your sleep readiness.

When you need help winding down, it helps transition your nervous system from alert to ready for sleep.

You live your evening. DUSQ prepares for your night.

Get into bed. DUSQ shifts into sleep mode.

It helps you fall asleep. Then it protects your sleep all night, detecting autonomic surges and suppressing them with gentle nerve stimulation before they pull you out of deep sleep.

No buttons. No wake-ups. Just protected sleep.

Wake up how your body was naturally meant to.

In the morning, you wake up without your body negotiating with exhaustion. More time in deep sleep. Fewer night awakenings. A nervous system that actually recovered.

Congratulations. You slept like a baby.

The DUSQ app is where everything comes together. Control your device, run your sessions, and wake up to a complete picture of what your nervous system did overnight - every surge detected, every intervention delivered, and how your sleep responded.

The Science Behind DUSQ

Your Nervous System Runs Your Sleep

Your nervous system has two modes. Sympathetic keeps you alert. Parasympathetic runs recovery.

Recovery needs deep sleep, and deep sleep needs parasympathetic dominance. But the sympathetic load you carry from the day spills into the night as surges. Each one fragments sleep and cuts recovery short.

Same eight hours. One person restored, one wakes up wrecked. The difference: how long your parasympathetic held clean sleep architecture.

That's the variable no one's measuring.

EDA: The Signal That Changes Everything

EDA (electrodermal activity) is a direct readout of your sympathetic nervous system. Your skin's conductance shifts the instant your body enters a stress response. No interpretation needed. No delay. The purest signal in psychophysiology.

Lie detectors run on it. Stress studies are built around it. Decades of research, one signal.

No one had put real-time EDA into a sleep wearable. DUSQ does, paired with optical PPG, reading the cause and the consequence simultaneously, all night.

The first wearable that reads your nervous system directly.

Two Pathways Your Body Already Knows

DUSQ doesn't mask disruptions. It resolves them non-invasively, through two pathways your body already responds to.

Vagus nerve stimulation. The Vagus nerve controls the parasympathetic system. It's your body's main calm down line. DUSQ activates the same pathway and does it adaptively through the night. A tested modality with thousands of peer reviewed studies.

Vestibular stimulation. Why do babies fall asleep when rocked? Vestibular input calms the nervous system through the brainstem. DUSQ delivers the same signal, delivered gently. FDA-cleared modality.

Through the night, the stimulation is delivered sub-perceptually. Nothing wakes you. Nothing interrupts you.

Why Behind The Ear

One Spot. Three Systems. One Device

Most Sleep Companies Cite Research. We Run It.

DUSQ operates a gold-standard sleep research lab. 7 beds. Full polysomnographic instrumentation. The same clinical infrastructure used in peer-reviewed sleep studies - except this one exists to change how the world sleeps, not just vanity literature.

Every claim DUSQ makes about sleep is tested here first. Not in-house surveys. Not self-reported data. Controlled, instrumented, overnight studies.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Why I built DUSQ

I was 20 when my body declared war on itself. Lupus. My hair fell out in handfuls. My skin lost color. My organs inflamed. Some days I couldn't stand without the room tilting. I was halfway through medical school, supposed to be learning how to fix people, and I couldn't fix myself.

Then, four years later, stage 2 thyroid cancer.

Two diseases. Same discovery. The body doesn't heal because you want it to. It heals when the nervous system decides it's safe enough to try. Mine never got that signal.

I built a nutrition company first, thinking the answer was in what we consumed. It wasn't. The bottleneck was the nervous system itself.
I built a sleep lab from scratch. Five years. Fifty million data points. I learned to read the body's signals the way I once learned to read an ECG.

DUSQ came out of that. Not out of ambition.

Not out of a market gap analysis. Out of a decade of my own body being the problem I couldn't solve any other way.

Who backs DUSQ

DUSQ is backed by some of the sharpest minds in consumer technology, healthcare, and venture capital. 

Also backed by practising physicians who reviewed the science and invested personally. Not just their capital. Their conviction.

Manufacturing

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

DUSQ is manufactured in our own facility. Not outsourced. Not contracted. Ours. We've been producing and shipping units for over 18 months, with 2,000+ devices already in the hands of real users.

Our production line is capable of handling thousands of units per month. Every device is assembled, tested, and inspected before it leaves. When you back DUSQ, there is no third-party factory we're hoping delivers on time. We control the quality, the consistency, and the timeline. That's not typical for a Kickstarter campaign. It's why we're confident in ours.

Delivery

Earlier backers within each tier ship first. The sooner you back, the sooner you sleep better. No surprise fees. No customs headaches. Just your DUSQ, shipped free, straight from us.

We're so confident, we'll take the risk for you.
