A new report that has been commissioned by the Sleep Health Foundation reveals that more than half of adults Australians suffer from at least one chronic sleep symptom, which is affecting their quality of life.
With research into sleep and the consequences of poor sleep gaining momentum, a new product launched recently in Australia and developed by UK company Cambridge Sleep Sciences, SleepHub, is said to help people improve their sleep through the unique application of neuroscience and sound technology.
It’s known that during the night, a normal healthy sleeper moves between different stages in a fairly predictable pattern, alternating between REM and non-REM sleep.
To achieve healthy sleep it’s important to cycle through each stage.
Disrupted sleep patterns are said to be a consequence of our modern lifestyles, and can cause the brain to fall out of sync with natural sleep cycles.
SleepHub helps retrain the brain to sleep well by emulating brain activity that occurs during healthy sleep cycles.
Played in the right sequence for optimal sleep quality, these sound waves are the key to encouraging the brain to enter natural sleep cycles in the correct order.
Reportedly, an independent clinical trial was conducted on SleepHub with individuals who had been experiencing established insomnia for longer than three months and were not taking sleep medication.
The results of this trial provided evidence that SleepHub can re-train the brain to revert to natural sleep patterns.
Reportedly, 92% of trial participants saw a positive sleep improvement with, on average per night:
- 155 minutes more time asleep.
- 76 minutes less time awake.
- 55% reduction in number of times waking up.
