About every second person is suffering under sleep-disturbances. Only about one third is going to the doctor’s. But, sleep-disturbances easily can become chronical and have health consequences. Find here some hints for recreational sleep of Dr. med. h.c. Guenther W. Amann-Jennson, well-known sleep scientist and founder of the Bionergetic Sleep®. Here, sleep surroundings and change of tiny habits are playing an important role. For more than 20 years, Amann-Jennson has developed a holistic sleep-healthy-concept. His goal was and is to improve the sleep of human beings and thereby help them to more vitality and energy in life.
You are lying in bed, tossing and turning, turn on the TV or grab a book. But the sleep won’t come. Your mind is too occupied with the worries of the day and it keeps getting worse every second. Disturbances of concentration and memory, high blood-pressure, nervousness, depressive state, but also gastro-intestinal disturbances and high susceptibility for colds may be the consequences of a chronical lack of sleep.
The healthy sleep of grown-ups can be divided into three phases: the waking state, the light- and deep-sleep and the REM-sleep. When slowly falling asleep one is sliding into light sleep or the so-called non-REM-phase. The eyes get heavier, the brain waves slow down, muscles relax. The more the body is relaxing, the deeper you are falling into sleep and the REM-phase is starting. “REM-phase” means “rapid eye moving” – since the eyes are rapidly moving during this phase. These phases alternate during the night. When the sleep is disturbed the organism is not able to regenerate and the risk for getting physically or psychically sick increases.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is attributing sleep-disturbances the same meaning as coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus or lung cancer. Out of this reason, the WHO has taken sleep next to nutrition and movement to be the third important pillar for health into their codex.
“A good sleep is very important for our health. During sleep, you will fill up energy for the next day”, says Guenther W. Amann-Jennson, sleeping expert and author of “Schlaf dich gesund” and “Schlaf dich jung, fit und erfolgreich!”.
Hints for a good and recreational sleep
You can do a lot of things to sleep healthy: evenings do without late meals, black tea or coffee, stick to a regular sleep-wake-rhythm, go to bed and get up at certain times, use relaxation techniques like autogenous training, for example.
As the saying “As you make your bed, you must lie on it” goes, the proper sleeping underlay and the bedding content are playing an important role. In co-operation with doctors, sleep researchers and scientists Amann-Jennson has developed a bioenergetic sleep-healthy-concept and has founded the company SAMINA. Core of the SAMINA sleep-healthy-concept are the orthopaedical ideal sleeping underlay, the proper pillow, a dry-warm bedding climate. The sleep-healthy-concept is perfectly adapting to your body, is supporting your spine and relieving your intervertebral discs as well as your musculature. All material are pollution free – untreated ash-wood and natural rubber for the highly elastic, freely suspended slat frame, high quality cotton and natural rubber for the mattress, sheep wool and cotton for the blankets and the orthopaedical-anatomical pillows. Furthermore, the products are carefully handcrafted.
“An energetically good sleep needs the proper sleeping underlay. But, components of body and soul are also important. In this way, means of relaxation, harmonization, and stress management are improving the inner causes of many sleep-disturbances”, explains Dr. med. h.c. Amann-Jennson.
