Sleep is one of the main weapons in our approach to daily well-being. However, studies show that the French sleep too little and increasingly badly: 32% do not sleep enough, 1 in 3 people have suffered from sleep disorders in the last year and the average time to fall asleep is 25 minutes...
Getting enough sleep affects our BMI.
It has been known for many years that sleep plays a major role in our mental and physical state. Sleeping well makes us feel more in shape but also influences our weight control: when we do not sleep enough or badly, the body releases more ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates the appetite. On the contrary, a good night's sleep promotes leptin, the satiety hormone.
Cardiac coherence: How does it work?
A clinical study carried out by Terraillon in collaboration with the European Sleep Center in Paris made it possible to evaluate the Dreamer sleep activator on the duration of falling asleep in subjects with fragile sleep.
Combined with red light, Dreamer's cardiac coherence program is a gentle relaxation method that helps you unwind and reduce stress. Breathe in, breathe out... the cardiac coherence program helps you move to a rhythm of 6 breaths per minute to reduce your thought flow and have a positive effect on your heart rate.
Initially practiced in medicine then in meditation, it is now used in sports circles or even in schools or professional environments!
A simple and natural solution
The Dreamer sleep activator uses red light because unlike other colors (especially blue light), it is the only color that does not block the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.
We stimulate the baroreflex, a small physiological mechanism that helps restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. In this way, you will quickly move from the alert state (activation of the sympathetic nervous system) to the resting state (activation of the parasympathetic nervous system) by adjusting your breathing rhythm to the light intensity in order to bring the nervous system to the sleep state.
With practice and after some time, you will regain confidence and you will be able to fall asleep peacefully and without anxiety.
Clinically tested
The clinical study conducted by the European Sleep Center was carried out over a period of 83 nights with patients with fragile sleep. Each morning, the study subjects also answered subjective questionnaires on the quality of their night, how quickly they fell asleep, how lucid they were upon waking, etc.
The conclusions of the study are very positive: thanks to Dreamer's cardiac coherence, 2 out of 3 users fall asleep in less than 15 minutes.
Dreamer by Terraillon improves the speed of falling asleep and the quality of sleep: deep sleep arrives quickly and users have the impression of falling asleep better and faster. Consequence of this better falling asleep: lucidity upon waking is felt to be much better!
The subjects of the study speak about it better than we do:
“I feel like focusing on the rhythm of the light helps me detach myself from negative thoughts.”
“It’s so cool to be able to keep up with the rhythm while keeping your eyes closed.”
"Clever to breathe for the time it takes thanks to the light without having to count. I disconnected without realizing it."
The study subjects particularly appreciated being able to follow the cardiac coherence program with their eyes closed and in any position: no need to struggle to keep their eyes open or to remain lying on their back when they like to sleep on their side or stomach!
Not connected to a smartphone, Dreamer has greatly reassured users, both in terms of its ease of use and the absence of WiFi waves generated during sleep.
At the end of this study, Dr. Duforez, sleep physician and founder of the European Sleep Center, concludes:
"In an uncertain world, difficulty falling asleep is a common symptom of insomnia. Scientific studies have clearly shown the influence of red light and breathing techniques on the quality of falling asleep. Using them wisely is a very good non-drug alternative and the Dreamer study is a good example of this."
