Minimising electromagnetic interference
Zeez signals are very gentle, and effective because they are precise. Other devices can interfere, distort our signals, and render the Zeez ineffective. Usually, it is enough to ensure that our own bedroom is free of equipment that can interfere. Do not worry about your neighbours! Unplug powerful equipment, turn off your router or booster box if it is closer than 7m, or put it on a timer, and put WiFi enabled devices into flight mode.

Powerful equipment close to your head in another room; Computers, a burglar alarm or consumer unit (fuse box). You may need to move the equipment, turn it off, or move your head further away.
Suggestion: your phone or phone charger will probably be OK if more than 4m away from your head.
-
Alexa, Echo, Smart bulbs. Turn off, or put on a timer.
-
Heart Monitors can interfere with the Zeez if it is less than 3m away from your head.
The Zeez won’t interfere with a heart monitor, or with a pacemaker.

These are generally OK if more than 7m away. Switch wi-fi off overnight or put onto a timer, so that it goes off no later than 30 mins after you start the Zeez, until 30 mins before the cycle ends. Wired Ethernet connections are fine, but do make sure that the WiFi is off. If you live with other internet users who can’t allow you a 6 hour wi-fi free ”window” it may be possible to block internet signals in your direction - depends on the location of the router and geography of your house.
-
These can’t be used with our devices. Use hot water bottles or a water-filled pad.
Some people are supersensitive to electrical interference, especially people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or auto immune disease. It your sleep is worse when you use the Zeez, it is likely that electrical equipment is disturbing the Zeez signal. Find the source and switch it off! Our users support group is a good source of advice, or ask us.
If you are uncertain about any device, give yourself 6 weeks use of the Zeez without it, then introduce it and monitor the effects on your sleep.
