Festival of Sleep – How can PEMF help?
Today marks the festival of sleep! A festival which is used to promote the importance of a good night’s sleep. Sleep is a basic human function which helps our bodies regain energy for the next day, and a lack of sleep can have a huge effect on the human body and the mind,
Many people who have purchased a PEMF device have given us feedback in that it has helped improve their sleep, with therapeutic PEMFs being shown to help reduce sleep disturbances. There have been many studies regarding PEMF therapy and reducing sleep disturbances, in a double-blind study magnetic fields from a small battery-operated 0.5 mT/ 5 Gauss were tested. They found that this field and intensity were effective in reducing sleep disturbances in 83% of the exposed group.
Many factors can have a knock-on effect on our sleep, including stress and anxiety, there is evidence that shows PEMFs can change brain wave activity and they are often used to help assist with reducing mild depression and anxiety. It has also been found that low-frequency Theta-waves (4-8Hz) are particularly useful for deep meditation, a technique used to help with calming the mind and body.
Devices such as the FlexPulse, have programs which are aimed and programmed to help with sleep. Program 1 uses 3 Hz, and the primary value of this is for deep relaxation and can help with falling asleep and maintaining this sleep throughout the night. The device is battery-operated meaning that it can be used continuously throughout the night.
