Rescue Best Practices
Where To Use Rescue
Find a quiet place - e.g. bedroom, office, car, or even the plane, when you are traveling. Always use an eye mask, and headphones or earbuds with the NuCalm mobile app.
When To Use Rescue
NuCalm is a very personal experience. Use the information below to help make NuCalm a regular part of your life. There is no right or wrong way to NuCalm. Experiment with different journey lengths and times of day to optimize NuCalm use for your lifestyle.
Similar to caffeine, many people find they may be too energized to sleep at night after a late Rescue session. Make note of your sleep patterns after evening Rescue use to find your cut-off time. We typically recommend not using after 7pm.
Rescue Session Length
For optimal recovery and health, let your body tell you how long your Rescue journey needs to be. The best way to achieve homeostasis (putting your mind and body back into balance) is to “wake up” or finish a Rescue journey naturally. This means that you end your Rescue journey whenever you naturally “wake up” or start to be aware of your surroundings again, the same way you would after a nap. This may be anywhere from 20 - 90 minutes.
The time needed in Rescue is directly correlated to your current stress or fatigue level – the greater the stress or fatigue, the longer your Rescue journey will be. Some signs of your natural endpoint include: feeling alert and more aware of your surroundings, feeling distracted or antsy, moving around, and faster breathing pace.
If you do not have time to go to your natural endpoint, we recommend a mininum 20 minute session to receive the recovery benefits of NuCalm.

DeepSleep Best Practices
How To Use DeepSleep
Listen to DeepSleep in your bedroom without headphones via a mobile device, tablet, or speaker at a comfortable volume.
Unlike with Rescue, you do NOT need to use headphones, a biosignal processing disc or eye mask.
When To Use DeepSleep
- To help with the onset of sleep at bedtime
- To help fall back asleep in the middle of the night
Choosing The Right DeepSleep Journey
The DeepSleep journeys all use the same underlying patented physics algorithms and produce the same physiological result. The 50-minute tracks are great for the onset of sleep, while the 8-hour tracks can be used all night. Journey selection is based on personal preference. We recommend you experiment with each DeepSleep journey to find your “go to” tracks.
Enhancing The DeepSleep experience
If you continue having difficulty with the onset of sleep after two weeks using DeepSleep nightly, add a NuCalm biosignal processing disc and/or listen to DeepSleep with headphones or earbuds in bed.
Ignite Best Practices
As you begin to incorporate Ignite Warrior Brain into your routine, make sure you are using NuCalm regularly to properly manage your rest and recovery. We recommend using NuCalm every day that you use Ignite.
How To Use Ignite
- Listen to Ignite with headphones for best results
- Unlike NuCalm, you do NOT use a biosignal processing disc or eye mask
- You can loop Ignite a couple times (don't overdo it)
- Stop listening to Ignite if you begin to feel agitated
When To Use Ignite
- Between wake up and 7pm
- After NuCalm
- Before a physical workout or competition
- When you need to focus mentally and perform at a high level
- Instead of caffeine, energy drink, sugar drink, or stimulan
When To Avoid Ignite
- Within 2 hours of bedtime
- When you want to relax
The Ignite journeys all use the same underlying patented physics and produce the same physiological result. Journey selection is based on personal preference. Experiment with each journey to find your “go to” journey. Some journeys have a motivational voice-over, while others are instrumental only.
