Put down the melatonin, people. Invest in science-backed productive petting.
I am writing this review after a surprisingly successful first week with Cove. This is not my first wearable, I am an early Oura ring adopter and still rely on the ring (plus various other trackers) to understand my sleep, vitals, and performance. My baseline for sleep sucks (even with nightly GABA and Magnesium supplements) because I get anxious about the next day and I live an indulgent life with big dinners. After my 20 minute Cove sessions, my anxiety reduces so I fall asleep faster then stay asleep with fewer interruptions. This may be due to my love/need for what Cove explains as Affective Touch. Since most cannot convince people in their household to productively pet them for 20 minutes, Cove is a fantastic alternative. The science is there, the results are noticeable, and feeling touched is wonderful. Get it where you can, people.
