The hour
before sleep.

Sona gives the last hour of the day a shape — a nightly sequence that leads you down into sleep, rather than a remedy taken once you are already there.

A sequence,
not a score.

Each evening, a scent composition begins the ritual. The Dock diffuses it gradually while the app lowers the light and softens the sound. You arrive at sleep rather than chase it.

Tonight,
the first.

A few questions set the ritual.

Place the Dock
by the bed.

Set it where the evening already feels quieter — a bedside table, within reach, away from the day's screens. It will stay there. The ritual begins from this one spot.

Finding
the Dock.

Sona connects to the Dock directly, over Bluetooth — no account, no network. Keep the phone near the Dock for a moment.

evening begin?

How long is
the descent?

Most evenings settle around thirty minutes. The ten-minute setting is the same ritual, compressed — for the nights that got away from you.

This becomes your usual length. You can vary it for a single night from the ritual itself.

Compositions.

Seven scent compositions in the series. A cycle of 28 nights is drawn from these, weighted to what you set up for.

NO. 01Long NightFor nights that resist ending. NO. 02Still MindFor a mind that will not set down the day. NO. 03Across Time ZonesFor a body that has landed before it has arrived. NO. 04After a Hard WeekFor the evening that has to undo five days. NO. 05The Early StartFor a night that has to end before the body wants. NO. 06A Restless MindFor the body that turns over and will not settle. NO. 07Slow ReturnFor evenings when the day does not leave all at once.

Long Night.

The first in the series, and the plainest. Long Night is for the evenings that will not close on their own — when the hour is late and the mind is still upright. It lengthens the descent, so that sleep is met rather than waited for.

• Cedarbase
• Irisheart
• Cool air, vetivertop
• Diffusionslow, 30 min

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti, sleep physiologist, with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

Still Mind.

For the nights when the body is tired but the mind keeps working — rehearsing tomorrow, re-reading today. Still Mind is the quietest composition in the series. It loosens the grip of attention, so the thinking slows of its own accord.

• Mossbase
• Bergamotheart
• Paper, dry stonetop
• Diffusionlow, even

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

Across
Time Zones.

For the traveller whose body has landed before it has arrived. Across Time Zones works against the small disagreement between the clock on the wall and the clock within — a clear signal of which hour to believe.

• Vetiverbase
• Salt, citrusheart
• Cold mineral airtop
• Diffusionbright, then low

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

After a
Hard Week.

For the Friday evening that has to undo five days at once. After a Hard Week is the fullest composition in the series — built for the accumulated kind of tiredness, the kind that is in the shoulders as much as the eyes.

• Sandalwoodbase
• Figheart
• Rain, green airtop
• Diffusionfull, warm

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

The Early
Start.

For the night that has to end before the body wants it to — an early flight, an early room, a morning that begins in the dark. The Early Start compresses the evening cleanly, without weight, so sleep arrives ahead of its usual hour.

• White teabase
• Cool mintheart
• Linen, clean airtop
• Diffusionbrisk, then still

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

A Restless
Mind.

For the body that turns over and will not settle — when the tiredness is real but the nerves have not caught up with it. A Restless Mind is the softest composition in the series, built to quiet the body before the thoughts are even addressed.

• Warm amberbase
• Lavenderheart
• Chamomile, soft woodtop
• Diffusionlow, enveloping

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

Slow
Return.

For evenings when the day does not leave all at once — when work has ended but its hold has not. Slow Return is the most gradual composition in the series. It does not close the day quickly; it lets it recede, one quiet degree at a time.

• Oak, soft leatherbase
• Black teaheart
• Dusk air, dry herbtop
• Diffusionunhurried, tapering

Composed by Dr. Eve Marchetti with the Sona studio. Edinburgh, 2026.

Two notifications, both operational — the nightly ritual reminder, and a notice when a cycle runs low. Nothing else: no encouragement, no streaks, no reminders to return.

The Dock.

The Dock is paired to this phone over Bluetooth. It reconnects on its own each evening; nothing here needs attention unless the connection is lost.

Help and

Most evenings need none of this. It is here for the ones that do.

If the Dock
won't respond.

Three steps, in order. Most connections return at the first.

01Bring the phone closerThe Dock connects over Bluetooth. Within a metre is enough.
02Lift the composition out, and rest it back inThis prompts the Dock to read it again.
03Reconnect from Dock settingsSettings — The Dock — reconnect. Pairing takes a moment.

If none of these settle it, the Dock may need attention. Contact Sona and someone will help.
