I've mentioned my skepticism about "parallelized electrostatic fields," "traditional Eastern medicine," and "acupressure points." I was fully prepared to be disappointed by the Dreamkeeper 400.

But guess what: The device actually worked.

Here's a chronology of what I experienced on my path from annoyance to pleasant surprise:

  • The first breakthrough was getting used to having a vibrating, flashing gadget on my wrist.

  • The second breakthrough occurred when I found that I was instinctively synchronizing my breathing with the Dreamkeeper's vibration pattern (which gradually becomes slower, to match a typical sleeper's breathing pattern, during the 45 minutes before the device shuts off).

  • The third breakthrough came when I realized that I was going to sleep quickly and sleeping with fewer interruptions. My wife confirmed this observation: After I'd been using the Dreamkeeper for several weeks, she remarked that I was no longer keeping her awake with my tossing, turning, and spells of insomnia. Also, on two nights at home when I forgot to wear the Dreamkeeper, I had trouble getting to sleep.

Why does the Dreamkeeper work? Maybe it's because of "parallelized electrostatic fields or "acupressure points." Or maybe the Dreamkeeper simply works as a biofeedback training device, conditioning the user to breathe in a pattern that's conducive to sleeping while transmitting a subliminal message of "vibrations = sleep." Whatever the reasons, the device does work, or at least it works for me. I expect it to be especially useful for restless nights after a long-distance trip, when it's hard to get back into a normal sleep pattern during the inevitable period of jet lag.

Where to buy Dreamkeeper 400:

Dreamkeeper 400 photoDreamkeeper 400 is available from HBIUSA.com for US $119.95. See HBI's Dreamkeeper page, buy from an online vendor such as Amazon.com and Target.com, or check local drug and discount stores in the U.S.A. and Canada.

In the UK, the Dreamkeeper is available from Win Health Ltd. I haven't been able to locate a mail-order source in Continental Europe, but HBIUSA.com will ship the device to many overseas locations for $35.

If you do order the Dreamkeeper 400, I'd suggest ordering replacement battery units at the same time. (Estimated battery life is three to four months.)
