If you’ve struggled with sleep, you’re not alone. Millions of people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep due to stress, anxiety, pain, trauma, or an overactive mind. You may have already tried sleep hygiene tips—limiting screen time, sticking to a routine, avoiding caffeine—but if those haven’t worked, don’t lose hope. Bi-Tapp tappers offer a non-pharmaceutical solution to regulate your nervous system and help you achieve deep, restful sleep.
Why Sleep is So Often Disrupted
Many people—especially those dealing with high levels of stress, anxiety, chronic pain, or trauma—find it difficult to get quality sleep, even when they’re physically exhausted.
For example:
- First responders and military personnel regularly report struggles to get quality sleep.
- Parents of young children wake up to every little noise, making it hard to fall back asleep.
- Professionals who have high pressure jobs are often sleep deprived
- Chronic pain sufferers find themselves waking up in physical discomfort, interrupting their sleep.
- People recovering from trauma often find it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
No matter the cause, Bi-Tapp tappers can help shift your nervous system out of stress mode and into a state of calm that allows for restful sleep.
How Bi-Tapp Helps You Sleep
Bi-Tapp uses bilateral stimulation (BLS)— A person will hold or wear the tappers. The gentle, rhythmic pulses between the two tappers regulates your nervous system, shifting it away from the stress response, towards a steady, relaxed state. Bilateral stimulation has been proven to reduce hyperactivity in the amygdala (the part of the brain responsible for triggering the fight-flight response) and promote a sense of safety and relaxation.
Unlike medications that induce drowsiness but may cause grogginess or dependency, Bi-Tapp automatically and naturally regulates the nervous system so you can fall asleep and stay asleep without side effects.
How to Use Bi-Tapp for Sleep
- Before Bed: Slip the tappers into your socks or pockets while you wind down. The gentle bilateral tapping helps signal your body that it’s time to rest.
- During Sleep: Keep the tappers on at a low rate of speed and low intensity of tapping. Hold or wear the tappers as you go to sleep.
- Middle-of-the-Night Wake-Ups: If you wake up and can’t fall back asleep, restart your tappers with a click of a button. The slow, soothing rhythm helps you fall back asleep again.
Real-Life Stories: Sleep Transformed
Alissa and her family experienced the trauma of the Eaton fires in California:
“In the pre-dawn hours, we found our home without electricity and full of smoke from the Eaton fires so we had to evacuate our two young autistic sons and service dog to a hotel outside the burn zone. The entire experience plus the uncertainty of whether we would have a home to return to was extremely traumatic, especially for kids. Having the bi-tapps on at night have been extremely helpful to get the boys to sleep and to help them resettle when they wake during the night. We also find ourselves borrowing the tappers for ourselves when we feel our stress levels creeping up. They have been a great addition to our self care routine.”
Kelly who struggles with chronic pain:
“I struggle with chronic pain. I don’t remember the last time I got a full night’s rest. My sleep is always interrupted due to the pain I experience. I use the tappers to help me fall asleep and then when I wake up because of my pain, I turn the tappers back on and I am asleep again before they turn off.”
Shannon, a first time mom:
“I am a first time mom and have had to adjust to many sleepless nights or interrupted sleep. There are times when I am exhausted but I simply can’t sleep. I use the tappers to help me relax my mind and help me calm down so I can fall asleep. Having them on low and slow helps my brain focus on the tapping and it feels like being rocked to sleep. They are so helpful!
Sue, a business professional:
“As a professional, I often work long hours. I also have to be focused when preparing for meetings or presentations and I need to be on point when presenting. Before using the tappers when I would try to go to sleep, my mind would ruminate on all the things I needed to do or I would lock on the details of an upcoming presentation, making it difficult, if not impossible to get quality sleep. I would just accept that it would be another sleepless night before a big day because I didn’t want to take medication to help me sleep.
I have started using the tappers during the day and at night to help me manage my stress better and get better sleep. My mind will still go over things but it doesn’t lock on the information and I am able to fall asleep. I feel the tapping back and forth between the tappers and I can feel myself calming down so that I am able to fall asleep. I also notice that I am more focused during the day when I wear the tappers.”
A Resource for All Ages
Bi-Tapp is a resource for all ages.
