Nightwave Experience

The NightWave sleep assistant is designed for people who experience common insomnia or the inability to fall asleep because of an overly active nervous system, restless thoughts, and feelings of agitation. In today''s world, many people have difficulty falling asleep due to over stimulation, environmental stresses, and lifestyle pressures.

NightWave calms the body and mind by activating the parasympathetic branch of the involuntary nervous system. It does this by the only non-drug method known, deep breathing.

Use NightWave like your own private sleep therapist or yoga instructor, to guide you in a session of deep breathing while lying in bed. When you use this ancient relaxation technique, busy thoughts fade away. Your eye lids grow heavy. Smooth, warm, pleasant sensations enter the body. You could even drift off to sleep before NightWave completes it''s seven-minute cycle.

Deep breathing to an external cue can feel awkward for those not accustomed to it. However, a few minutes of deep breathing followed by sleep is far better than laying awake for hours. Many people breathe in a shallow and ineffective way by using the upper chest, upper rib cage, and shoulders. This causes low-level oxygen starvation and increased stress on the whole system.

People report the following effects of deep breathing:

physical relaxation

attention moves from mental thoughts to physical sensations

greater awareness of the body

reduced stress, tension, and anxiety

increased clarity

blood flow moves to the extremities (hands become warm)

heart beat becomes regular

feeling of wellbeing

feeling of greater connection with self and environment

feels like time slows down or attention becomes more expanded

increased feelings of personal empowerment

the concerns of the day get released or float away
