Frequently asked questions
Why do women frequently wake up around 3 AM during menopause?▼
Between 2 and 4 AM, nocturnal cortisol levels naturally start rising. With low progesterone and estrogen instability, this surge is exaggerated, triggering alert, anxious awakenings.
How does EyZa™ help induce sleep without medication?▼
By gently massaging acupressure points around the temples and brow while delivering continuous 40-42 °C warmth, EyZa™ activates endorphin release and soothing alpha brainwaves.
Can EyZa™ be used in the middle of the night during insomnia?▼
Yes, running a quiet 15-minute gentle thermal cycle helps break rumination and guides the mind smoothly back to sleep.
