» "Stimulated through your own heart beat and the breath of the sleeper, the Schlaf-Tablet starts moving in tiny lateral movements. Is one person lying on the bed, slowly an individual rhythm will syntonise. It is almost impossible to feel these movements - like you do not feel your own pulse. For persons interested in technique: Within the Schlaf-Tablet four folded pendulums ensure a complete noiseless and almost frictionless transformation of the stimulation by the sleeper into tiny lateral movements. The animation of the homepage grants a view into the pendulum."

3.2 How does the Schlaf-Tablet improve my sleep?
» "The steady, rhythmic heart beat is intensified via the Schlaf-Tablet. This effect leads to the acceleration and intensification of the rhythmic brain activity. This rhythmisation is especially important for falling asleep and sleeping through. Consequently, the user falls asleep faster and sleeps deeper. (Dr. Christoph Wölk, University of Osnabrück)
The effect of swinging sleep has been studied at the University of Osnabrück. A summary of the study results can be seen here."

3.3 Is it possible to use the Schlaf-Tablet with a double bed or can a Schlaf-Tablet be used by two persons??
» "Like every sleeper needs his own frame, he will also need his own swinging bed. Each sleeper has its own and therefore individual sleep activity and does not go through the same sleep phases at the same time like his partner. In case two persons lie together on one swinging system, it can happen that one sleeper is feeling disturbed by the movements of the other one and thereby, his sleep is disturbed. Therefore, we do recommend the Schlaf-Tablet for single beds. The sizes are meant to fit all common single bed up to a frame width of 140 cm / 55.12"."
