How to Beat Fatigue Naturally – Beyond Sleep & Supplements

Discover the Nervous System Self-Assessment and learn if your energy regulation system needs support

Do You Wake Up Exhausted No Matter How Much You Sleep?

Ask yourself

If you answered yes, your autonomic nervous system (ANS) may be dysregulated. Instead of allowing restorative sleep, your body stays stuck in stress mode overnight—leaving you drained before the day begins.

Physiological Mechanisms:

Short sessions of taVNS have been shown to reduce the cortisol response to acute mental stress in controlled studies, and daily use over two weeks improved autonomic balance and aspects of sleep and mood.

Do Afternoon Energy Crashes Control Your Day?

Ask yourself
Physiological Mechanisms:

Vagal pathways are central to regulating inflammation. Research shows that taVNS can modulate these signals, supporting recovery and reducing the inflammatory stress that contributes to fatigue.

Is Brain Fog Stealing Your Focus and Motivation?

Ask yourself
Physiological Mechanisms:

Clinical research shows taVNS can influence brain networks involved in attention and working memory, with some studies reporting improvements in focus and mental clarity.

Do You Feel Like Your Body Never Recovers?

Ask yourself
Physiological Mechanisms:

In a randomized clinical trial, taVNS reduced insomnia severity compared with control, suggesting a role in supporting deeper, more restorative sleep.

Is Your Fatigue Affecting Mood and Resilience?

How the Vagus Nerve Is Connected to Sleep Issues

The vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating restorative sleep cycles. 

It signals the body to slow the heart rate, calm the stress response, and transition into deep, restorative rest. 

When this nerve becomes dysregulated — something increasingly recognized in post-viral conditions — the nervous system can get “stuck” in a state of hyperarousal. 

The result is difficulty falling asleep, restless nights, or waking up unrefreshed despite hours in bed. Over time, this lack of quality sleep contributes to persistent fatigue, brain fog, and poor recovery.

VNS as a Solution to Sleep Issues

This is why researchers are studying non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a way to support healthier sleep. 

By gently stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear, VNS can encourage a shift out of “fight-or-flight” mode and back into the “rest-and-digest” state needed for deep, restorative rest.

Nurosym delivers this approach in a CE-marked home device, designed to be simple and drug-free. 

Many users describe the sensation as a light tingling and report more consistent, restorative sleep after regular use — often alongside improvements in daytime energy and mental clarity. 

Early pilot studies in post-viral fatigue cohorts also show encouraging signals, with larger clinical trials underway.

Cómo elegir un estimulador del nervio vago

Con la gran variedad de dispositivos disponibles en el mercado, es importante investigar bien y elegir el que mejor se adapte a tus necesidades. Lo más importante es asegurarte de que la intervención que estás considerando haya sido científicamente probada para actuar sobre el nervio vago. 

Estos son algunos de los factores clave que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de tomar una decisión:

  • Consult with your health care professional
    Antes de comenzar cualquier nueva intervención médica, siempre es recomendable consultar primero con un profesional sanitario. Para la estimulación del nervio vago, elija un neurólogo o especialista que esté familiarizado con los dispositivos de VNS, para que pueda aconsejarle correctamente sobre si le ayudará con sus síntomas específicos.
  • Compatibilidad con tus síntomas
    Los dispositivos VNS están diseñados para mejorar síntomas específicos, como estados depresivos, cansancio crónico, problemas gastrointestinales y confusión mental. Asegúrate de que la estimulación del nervio vago haya sido estudiada y evaluada en cuanto a su eficacia para tus necesidades de salud específicas. Los dispositivos VNS también tienen diferentes ubicaciones de estimulación, como el cuello y la oreja. Sensate, que no es un dispositivo VNS, afirma estimularlo a través del pecho. Sin embargo, Nurosym’s AVNT approach and Gammacore’s approach both have scientific evidence of precise targeting and safety. Other approaches at any location are at best playing the piano out of tune and at worst actively dangerous.
  • Seguridad y certificación como dispositivo portátil
    Muchos dispositivos afirman ser dispositivos VNS y ser seguros, pero es importante evaluar la investigación científica realizada sobre cada dispositivo para comprender su perfil de seguridad. Sensate y Pulsetto afirman que activan el nervio vago, pero no tienen ninguna evidencia científica que lo confirme. Los diferentes métodos de estimulación del nervio vago también están asociados a diferentes efectos secundarios, por lo que es conveniente comprender todos los riesgos antes de comprar. Los dispositivos que han obtenido la certificación Wearable Device son fundamentales, ya que esta certificación requiere rigurosas pruebas de calidad y estudios de seguridad para garantizar que no dañan el sistema nervioso.
  • Eficacia e investigación
    Asegúrese de buscar dispositivos respaldados por investigaciones científicas y, a ser posible, estudios controlados con placebo. Un dispositivo de buena reputación habrá publicado investigaciones que respalden sus afirmaciones. Las pruebas aleatorias controladas con placebo garantizan que los efectos de un dispositivo no se basan en el placebo, lo que da confianza en los beneficios terapéuticos reales del dispositivo. Del mismo modo, los estudios revisados por pares reducen el riesgo de resultados sesgados y demuestran la credibilidad del dispositivo probado.

    Muchos dispositivos citan investigaciones genéricas sobre la VNS, pero no han realizado ningún estudio de seguridad y eficacia sobre su dispositivo. El hecho de que un dispositivo emita una corriente eléctrica en la zona donde se encuentra el nervio vago no garantiza que active el nervio vago ni que tenga un impacto positivo en él. La mayoría de las investigaciones sobre la estimulación del nervio vago se realizaron con métodos invasivos, no con dispositivos portátiles. Por lo tanto, un dispositivo portátil que hace referencia a investigaciones invasivas sobre la VNS está tergiversando los datos para vender su producto.

  • Estimulación frente a modulación
    También es importante tener en cuenta que algunos dispositivos, como Pulsetto o GammaCore, proporcionan una estimulación de alta intensidad que puede aumentar la probabilidad de efectos secundarios y puede perjudicar a las personas con síntomas crónicos cuyo sistema nervioso ya está desregulado. Nurosym con 45 niveles de energía ofrece un control preciso de la modulación para proporcionar los mismos beneficios con menos riesgos.
  • Precio
    El dispositivo que elijas debe ajustarse a tu presupuesto. Algunos dispositivos tienen un modelo de suscripción que requiere pagos continuos a lo largo del tiempo. Otros, como Nurosym y Sensate son compras únicas. Dado que los beneficios del uso de la VNS requieren un uso constante, cuanto más se utilicen, mejores serán los resultados. Por lo tanto, al considerar la adquisición de un dispositivo, piense a largo plazo en cómo se acumularían los costes de su uso prolongado. Tomando Nurosym por ejemplo, el coste medio del dispositivo es de aproximadamente 2 euros al día durante un año, y después ya no hay que realizar más pagos. Por su parte, GammaCore viene precargado con sesiones para tres meses. Después, será necesario adquirir más sesiones para seguir utilizándolo. Pulsetto ofrece una suscripción de pago a la aplicación, por lo que los costes de uso a largo plazo pueden acumularse.

Protocolo de pruebas

Since these devices are NOT created equal, it’s essential to carefully evaluate their features, effectiveness, and user experience before making a decision. So we set out to compare four of the most popular devices that people purchase for vagus nerve stimulation – Pulsetto, Sensate, Gammacore, and Nurosym. Sin embargo, es importante señalar que, a diferencia de Nurosym y GammaCore, Pulsetto y Sensate no son dispositivos VNS certificados. 

Para realizar una comparación precisa, cada dispositivo fue evaluado por un equipo de doctores y profesionales sanitarios. Utilicé cada dispositivo durante un mes, con un descanso de un mes entre cada uno para evitar cualquier efecto residual. Empecé con Sensate, luego Pulsetto, Nurosym, y por último, GammaCore.
