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
