The modern world is a busy, demanding place, and most of us constantly underestimate how much sleep we need to thrive. In order to accomplish the basic task of day-to-day living, let alone to enjoy ourselves, getting enough, good quality sleep is absolutely essential. Recent studies have shown that the vast majority of Americans at any given time are sleep deprived, 1 out of 10 chronically so. The easiest way to tell if you need more sleep is if you experience day-time tiredness or drowsiness, but even if you don’t, you could still not be getting enough. 34% of people that didn’t experience this symptom were still found to be sleep deprived in a recent clinical trial. Other signs that you or your family may require more rest are irritability, a low stress threshold, problems with concentration and memory, behavioral, learning or social problems, low immune function, appetite fluctuations, fuzzy vision and feelings of lethargy. Benefits of getting more sleep include a heightened sense of wellbeing, an improved ability to deal with day-to-day stressors, a healthier body and a happier outlook on life.
Falling asleep faster, achieving deeper quality:
The crucial difference between the waking state and the sleeping state lies in sensory perception. We’re no longer aware of what’s happening around us while sleeping, and if we become aware, we start waking up. The Chi-Sleeper encourages you to fall asleep faster, achieve a deeper, more satisfying level of rest and wake up at the point of complete rejuvenation. It does this in many ways, the first being that it creates a secluded space apart from any activity. Many people’s bedrooms act as second living space, being a place to watch TV, hang out with family or even friends, read and snack. This can hurt sleep quality in two ways: firstly, it generates active energy that can interrupt the instinct to sleep, and seondly it impedes the influence of ritual and habit. In the Chi-Sleeper, all you’ll do is sleep, so the subconscious will understand when you get inside to begin the process of shutting down the mind and initiate the biological processes that cue sleep (the release of sleep hormones, like melatonin, etc.). This invites sleep naturally. The Chi-Sleeper can be made pitch black inside, and the walls dampen the sounds of air-conditioners, heaters, traffic, and other “background” noise that have a profound effect on sleep quality. Ambient light and sound often rouse your senses during sleep, which keep your nervous system on alert and impedes your ability to achieve deeper, more satisfying states of sleep. The isolating element of the Chi-Sleeper also encourages you to fall asleep faster by restricting sensory input, easing your mind and calming your nerves.
A healthier environment means a healthier you:
