Sleep and Senses

As our five senses engage the environment each has specific cues that relax and enhance sleep.

• Sleep and light are intimately intertwined.  Human vision records light through the lens of the eye to discern the world in which we live.  The circadian rhythm presents a daily cycle that is profoundly effected by light and impacts our sleep pattern

• Sound and light elicits brain wave patterns through binaural beats that mimic a desired pattern. Our focus is on relaxation and brain wave patterns that elicit peaceful thoughts and alpha brain waves.

• Scents like lavender trigger relaxation in reptilian areas of the brain.

• Foods that promote sleep and relaxation provide another approach to improve your nights sleep.

• Relaxing touch can be therapeutic and enjoyable.  Massage is beneficial for both health, recovery, and sleep.
