Sleep

Sleep is one of the body’s most  mysterious processes. Getting a good night's sleep is essential for feeling refreshed and alert the next day.Unfortunatly not everyone is able to get the restorative sleep they need, and the more we worry about our insomnia, the worse our sleep problems get.

 

 

Electro-Magnetic Stimulation reduces effect of stress

Up to 90% of all visits to GP's are for stress related complaints such as headaches, backaches, neck pain, eyestrain, poor concentration, anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, high blood pressure, heart disease, ulcers, physical and emotional exhaustion.
Electro-Magnetic Stimulation therapy (EMS) has an amazing effect on the body's nervous system. When EMS therapy activates the body's parasympathetic nervous system, it counteracts in body's negative response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing heart rate, blood pressure and circulation to return to normal. EMS not only improves the circulation of blood and its vital nutrients, but also increases the circulation of lymph in the lymphatic system thus helping body to fight off infection and speeding recovery from injuries and illness. It increases the resistance power in the body and promotes sleep. 

 Why do we need sleep?

         Sleep helps you to restore and rejuvenate many body functions:

• Memory and learning – Sleep seems to organize memories, as well as help you to recover memories. After you learn something new, sleep may solidify the learning in your brain.
• Mood enhancement and social behaviors - The parts of the brain that control emotions, decision-making, and social interactions slow down dramatically during sleep, allowing optimal performance when awake. REM sleep seems especially important for a good mood during the day. Tired people are often cranky and easily frustrated.
• Nervous system – Some sleep experts suggest that neurons used during the day repair themselves during sleep. When we experience sleep deprivation, neurons are unable to perform effectively, and the nervous system is impaired.
• Immune system – Without adequate sleep, the immune system becomes weak, and the body becomes more vulnerable to infection and disease.
• Growth and development – Growth hormones are released during sleep, and sleep is vital to proper physical and mental development.

What are some of the effects of sleep deprivation?

Lack of sleep, and especially a chronic lack of sleep, is associated with:

• Poor decision-making, poor judgment, increased risk-taking
• Poor performance in school, on the job, and in sports
• Impaired driving performance and more car accidents.
• Increased incidence of obesity, diabetes, illness in general, high blood pressure, and heart disease
• Impaired memory, concentration, and ability to learn
• Physical impairment, poor coordination, delayed reaction time
• Anxiety, depression, and other emotional problems
• Magnification of the effects of alcohol on the body
• Exacerbation of the symptoms of ADHD, such as impulse control, irritability, and lack of concentration

Getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night can affect coordination, reaction time, and judgment. 

Testimonial

I fractured my collarbone and was having trouble sleeping because of the constant niggling pain; I just couldn’t get comfortable and kept waking up. A friend suggested I had a go with Electro-Magnetic Stimulation to hopefully repair my shoulder quicker as I wanted to avoid having time off work. I first noticed that I could sleep through the night. I felt much less pain so came off the painkillers, and was able to not have time off. My wife also tried EMS as she has trouble sleeping because of stress, constantly waking up worrying about her job. She also found she could sleep better. she is often still asleep when I get up to go to work
