Practice during the day. Reinforce at night.
TMR research has covered motor learning tasks (piano sequences, finger-tapping tasks, complex movements). Pair a Cue with the practice while awake. Replay the Cue during a Sleep Session.
Download FreeHow TMR fits motor practice
Motor memory consolidates during sleep along with declarative memory. Without a paired Cue, sleep does not have a specific signal to reinforce one motor pattern over another.
TMR pairs a Cue with the specific motor practice while awake. The same Cue replays during a Sleep Session, reinforcing the pairing.
How people use this
- A musician pairing a Cue with a specific phrase practice
- A piano student pairing a Cue with a scale or run
- A coach pairing a Cue with a form drill
- An athlete pairing a Cue with a serve, putt, or free-throw sequence
- A surgeon pairing a Cue with a laparoscopic drill
- A dancer pairing a Cue with a movement sequence
Runs alongside your recovery tools
SomniCue runs alongside existing recovery tools. Sleep trackers measure your sleep. SomniCue pairs a Cue with the practice you did that day, and replays the Cue during a Sleep Session.
Research notes
Cueing a melody during sleep selectively improved performance on the cued melody vs. an uncued one.
Nature Neuroscience
TMR during nap supported motor sequence learning in piano performers.

Common questions
Will this fix bad form?+
No. SomniCue does not change what you practice. It pairs a Cue with the practice you choose, and replays the Cue during a Sleep Session.
Does this work for cardio or endurance?+
TMR research is strongest on motor memory and skill consolidation. Endurance is largely cardiovascular adaptation, so TMR is more directly relevant to technical practice than pure aerobic training.
Is this useful for fine motor practice (musicians, surgeons)?+
Fine motor sequences are exactly the kind of skill TMR research has covered. Anyone training a precise repeated movement can pair it with a Cue.
