Wearing THIM
Place THIM on the index finger of your dominant hand. You will double tap
THIM often to begin and end programs such as sleep re-training.
Tapping your index finger and thumb together is the best way for THIM to
detect this double tap. See picture below:
Ensure THIM is a snug fit.
The end of your finger provides a greater range of movement during sleep
compared to the lower part of the finger. This allows THIM to collect more
data points and enhance the sleep tracking abilities.
THIM is not an activity tracker. You do not wear THIM throughout the day.
THIM is worn only while you are in bed or taking a nap.

Calibrating THIM
THIM will emit a calibrated vibration every ~30 seconds. Tap your finger
when you feel this vibration. This is how THIM knows you are still awake.
This calibrated vibration is used as you fall asleep during the sleep re-training
and power nap programs. This calibrated vibration should be subtle, yet
strong enough for you to feel it.
Note: The calibrated vibration is not used if you have selected sleep-tracking
program.
Follow these steps:
1. Place THIM on your index finger, above your knuckle
2. Go into Settings
3. Select “Calibrate Vibrations” on the app
4. Select “Start Calibrating”
5. THIM will cycle through 12 pre-set vibration levels in ascending order
6. Once you feel your preferred vibration level tap “Acknowledge
Vibration” on the app
7. Complete step 5 a total of 3times. THIM will remember the average
vibration of your 3 attempts. When finished select “DONE”

Sleep re-training
Falling asleep, repeatedly, can condition you to sleep better. Each attempt at
falling asleep and then waking up is called a sleep trial. In University studies,
sleep trials have been shown in most people to reduce the time it takes to fall
asleep, reduce wakefulness across the night and increase total sleep duration.
THIM delivers these sleep trials during the first 1-hour of your bedtime. Doing
this for 5 consecutive nights will promote better sleep on night 6.
Tip: If you have not fallen asleep within 20 minutes THIM will vibrate and
flash white. When this happens, get out of bed for 10 minutes and then
attempt another sleep trial.
Follow the steps below at your regular bedtime to set up sleep re-training:
Open the THIM app on your smartphone
Press the PLAY button
Place THIM on your index finger
Select ‘SLEEP RE-TRAINING’
Enter sleep re-training duration
Select ‘Load onto THIM’
To begin, double tap your index finger
and thumb together
See next page,
‘Starting my first sleep trial’
You can also set an alarm.
See ‘Setting an alarm’ below

Setting an alarm
You can set a normal alarm on the app. Simply enter the time you wish
THIM to wake you and the device will vibrate intensely at that time.
A smart alarm is similar to the normal alarm. The difference is that a smart
alarm will detect your lightest stage of sleep in a 30-minute window and then
vibrate to wake you.
For example, if you set your smart alarm for 8:00am, THIM will wake you up
sometime between 7:40-8:10. THIM will select your lightest sleep stage to
alarm.
Starting my first sleep trial
When ready to begin, double tap your index finger and thumb together. THIM
will flash blue 3 times. THIM will continue to flash blue every 6 seconds when
the program is active.
Tap your index finger each time you feel your calibrated vibration. These
vibrations will be timed approximately 30 seconds apart. This is how THIM
knows you are still awake.
…….30 seconds …….30 seconds
Shortly after the second vibration has stopped, THIM will emit an intense
alarm vibration to wake you up.
To cancel this vibration, double tap your index finger and thumb together.
NOTE: If you haven’t started your next sleep trial within 5 minutes THIM
will vibrate (Buzz…Buzz…Buzz… Buzz) as a reminder to double tap and
start your next sleep trial.

Tip: Research shows that, on average, you will have been asleep for 3-
minutes following the second missed tap. This is why THIM will alarm
immediately after the second missed tap.
Starting my second and subsequent sleep trials
To begin your next sleep trial, double tap your index finger and thumb
together twice in a row…
Double tap… … then double tap again…
THIM will flash blue 3 times once the next sleep trial has begun.
You should aim to complete as many sleep trials as you can within the sleep
re-training window you set. For example, if you set the duration of 1-hour of
sleep re-training, completing 3 or 4 sleep trials within this period is a great
outcome.
Finish
If you set a normal alarm to wake you in the morning, THIM will vibrate at the
time you set (for example: 8:00am). To cancel this alarm, double tap your
index finger and thumb together.

Power nap
Refresh with a short sleep during the day. This power nap program is separate
and unrelated to the sleep re-training program.
Tip: Research shows that 10 minutes is the perfect duration for a power nap.
10 minutes of naptime avoids you waking with sleep inertia, so you can
quickly get back to your day.

Open the THIM app on your smartphone
Press the PLAY button
Place THIM on your index finger
Select ‘POWER NAP’
Enter sleep nap duration
Select ‘Load onto THIM’
To begin, double tap your index finger
and thumb together

will flash blue quickly 3 times. THIM will continue to flash blue once every 6

asleep. These vibrations will then stop until your naptime has expired.

or attempting to nap does not exceed a specific time window.
