Doctors recommend a variety of measures to help adults and children achieve adequate sleep.
Neurofeedback training improves sleep. To maintain these good conditions we need a comfortable sleep environment, encourage a healthful balance of nutrition and exercise. Some suggestions to follow for more improvement:
- Maintain a regular schedule
-
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep
-
Make your bedroom a comfortable sleep environment
-
Establish a calming pre-sleep routine
-
Go to sleep when you’re truly tired
-
Do not watch the clock at night
-
Use light to your advantage by exposing yourself to light during the day and limiting light exposure in the evening
-
Do not nap too close to your regular bedtime
-
Eat and drink enough— not too much or too soon before bedtime
-
Exercise regularly—but not too soon before bedtime
Neurofeedback can regulate the sleep quality by improving the alpha brain waves
The importance of light for variety of reasons are the main keys to our sleep drive in the 24 hour cycle. Our habitual and behavioural patterns before we fall sleep have a major role as well. How tired we are! Meaning how many hours we have been awake are 2 more important factors on how we sleep too.
The best hours that our body wants to go to sleep are 10pm or 2 hours after darkening. Waking up after 8 hours at 6am can follow that bed time rutine.
Sometimes after 2 whole cycles of 90 minutes, which is 3 hours, we have enough sleep. If we wake up then we will be very refreshed. However we will need to take a nap during the day.
- The core body temperature plays an important role.
- Neurofeedback improves brain regulation which can result improved brain function. We can also take benefit of neurofeedback to gain more stable and efficient sleep cycling.
- There is very good scientific evidence that we awaken more refreshed after some neurofeedback training.
- We deep cleanse our brain and psychological body by being easier on the past and not being worried so much about the result of the future o. A good night sleep could prevent brain decease such as Alzheimer .
I will include a sleep log for you to follow by yourself to keep track of your sleep while you are in training or before your neurofeedback training at Yoga4Brain.
