When talking about the most important expectations for your healthy and bionergetic sleep®, the “hardware” clearly is playing the leading role. Namely a holistic, nature-oriented sleeping system that meets the needs of the people.
This in turn has to meet various requirements, too:
• Sleep medical
• Sleep psychological
• Building, living and electro biological
• Orthopaedical
• Room- and bedding climatical
Further, your healthy sleep needs the suitable “software” your mental program, too.
Since this is playing an important role in your life, too, dealing with the own soul, mind and thinking is worth it. Psychology is an empirical science and its center point is description, explanation and forecast of human experiences and behavior. Development during the course of their life as well as their inner and outer causes and circumstances belong to this, too.
General psychology deals with generally valid regularities in basic psychic functional areas like perception, learning, memory, thinking, problem solving, knowledge, attention, consciousness, motivation and so on.
In contrast, sleep psychology deals with the individual differences and dependences, the personal habits and belief patterns round the own sleep-dream-wake-behavior and the sleep-wake-dream-experience. Here, aspects out of bio-psychology are relevant, too, since many sleep disturbances are psycho-physiological and therewith mainly due to stress. Bioelectric measurings of the brain activity as well as heart rate variability analysis (HRV) are playing a huge role in evaluation of the vegetative fitness, sleeping quality and thereby of the own rhythm.
With special recorders and an according software it nowadays is possible to get via the HRV-analysis a deep insight into the order or disorder of the inner rhythm. This is an important relation of strain/tension and relaxation/recreation –- hence from activity during the day to night’s rest. The heart beat is suitable for doing so, because it is a so-called superordinated rhythm-bringer and thereby is co-controlling a lot of other inner rhythms. So HRV-measurings reproducibly indicate which rhythms the changes of the heart beat are following right now –- for example blood pressure (sympathetic nervous system/strain) or breathing (vagus nerve/recreation).
Experiences clearly show that
• the own lifestyle
• the fitness of body and soul
• mental and emotional programs as well as
• the own rhythm of life
are decisive factors.
Clear aim in direction sleep optimization is a pronounced balance between strain and recreation as well as between wakefulness, sleeping and dreaming. By that, recreational effects of breaks, relaxing tasks, breathing exercises and of course of sleeping got measurable and documentable. Furthermore, in this connection, social-psychological aspects are interesting since our social behavior and our social ties also have an effect on our thoughts, feelings, rhythm of life and hence on our sleep. Consequently, within sleep psychology, the process of sleep became an important seismograph and indicator for our balance of body, mind and soul and therewith for our overall health.
