Silent Nights

We all know how a bad night's sleep can wreak havoc on your wellbeing. Sleep deprivation can result in daytime impairment, can lead to chronic health problems, and is a risk factor for physical and mental illness.

Luckily, Float Therapy has been shown to improve sleep patterns, naturally. Given what we know about the physiological effects of floating, it can be used to treat insomnia and promote a deeper sleep. A review of several studies conducted in 2020 showed flotation therapy effective in reducing insomnia levels in several groups of adults. In fact, some people even fall asleep while floating, while others find a deep, meditative, state.

Float Therapy has demonstrated  a few key effects, such as the ability to reduce stress by lowering cortisol, engage low-frequency brain activity, and provide exposure to magnesium, that are evidence of a direct benefit for sleep. 

Lowered Cortisol is an important benefit of floating. Cortisol levels have a critical role in your sleep patterns and circadian rhythm. Disrupted cortisol levels can impact your ability to sleep and also affect other aspects of your health such as anxiety & depression, headaches, inflammation, weight gain.

The Epsom salts used to create the weightless environment in the pod provide exposure to magnesium. Maintaining healthy magnesium levels is important for overall mental and physical health. Floating may provide these important benefits from the magnesium absorption. 

Many clients have experienced great success managing sleep hygiene and patterns by incorporating floating into their wellness routines. We suggest booking an evening float, like at 8:00pm, to help your body and mind find a seamless transition to a good night's sleep.
