Creating a Sleep Sanctuary with Sushupti and BrainTap
As a neuroscientist who has spent decades studying brain fitness, nervous-system regulation, and the importance of restorative sleep, I am always interested in natural approaches that can complement the technologies we use at BrainTap.
I recently had the opportunity to experience Vrindaam Sushupti – Sleep Well Pillow Mist, and what interested me most was not simply the aroma, but what we observed when pairing the experience with our NeuralChek® system.
In our preliminary observations, we found a significant increase in parasympathetic activation, indicating a shift toward the body’s rest-and-recovery state. We also observed indications consistent with improved deep-sleep outcomes. These observations are exciting and warrant further controlled evaluation; they should not be interpreted as results from a published clinical trial.

Pairing Aroma with Brain Entrainment
This is where I believe the concept becomes especially interesting.
The brain learns through repetition and association. When we consistently pair a sensory cue with a particular physiological state, that cue can become part of the ritual signaling the nervous system that it is time to transition.
That is why I recommend exploring Sushupti Pillow Mist together with BrainTap’s Delta sleep sessions.
Prepare
Prepare your sleeping environment.
Mist
Lightly mist your pillow and bedding with Sushupti.
Begin
Begin your BrainTap Delta session.
Create a simple nightly ritual: prepare your sleeping environment, lightly mist your pillow and bedding with Sushupti, begin your BrainTap Delta session, and allow the combination of aroma, light, sound, vibration, guided relaxation and brainwave entrainment to become your personal signal that the day is over and restoration can begin.
Over time, the goal is to create what I call a Sleep Sanctuary—an environment intentionally associated with relaxation and restorative sleep.
A Familiar Relaxation Ritual
Vrindaam describes Sushupti as a sweet-lemony aromatherapy blend featuring lavender, grapefruit and rose, with patchouli and cardamom and the aromatic constituents linalool and limonene.
The company recommends lightly spraying the mist on the pillow, bed linens and around the bedroom approximately 10–15 minutes before bedtime, then breathing deeply as you prepare for sleep.
And your Sleep Sanctuary doesn’t have to exist only in your bedroom.
With the travel-size Sushupti Mist and BrainTap, you can recreate elements of the same familiar relaxation ritual at home, while traveling, in a hotel, or even in an office or recovery space. The Sushupti kit specifically includes both a 50 mL home spray and a 10 mL travel spray.
The Vrindaam philosophy fits naturally with this approach: wellness is not created by one product or one practice but through consistent daily habits.
