2. How long should I use it each day?

It is recommended to use it for 10–15 minutes daily.
Many eye massagers have automatic massage cycles of approximately 10–15 minutes, making them convenient for short breaks at work or before bed, while also avoiding over-stimulation of the eyes.

3. Does it help with insomnia?

Using it before sleep helps relax the nervous system and fall asleep faster.

Additionally, the cold compress function of the EM800 can relieve eye puffiness; alternating between hot and cold compresses can accelerate blood circulation around the eyes, effectively fading dark circles and helping the user enter deep sleep more easily.

4. Will it hurt my eyes?

It is safe if used correctly; just avoid using it with your eyes open.
