Whether you have a restless mind, noisy environment, or you just can’t get comfortable, sometimes it is just difficult to fall asleep. It’s annoying enough when it just happens every once in awhile.
Whether you are engaged in polyphasic, biphasic, or monophasic sleep patterns everyone sometimes has a hard time waking up and staying awake. It’s so hard at times to resist that temptation of just slapping the snooze button or turning off the alarm altogether.
The human body is indisputably a remarkable thing. We have only scratched the surface of what our bodies are capable of doing. Among the many processes our bodies go through, homeostasis is one of the most important. Homeostasis is our bodies ability to find balance and regulate itself to continue functioning.
Meditation is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety. Extensive studies have shown that regular practitioners of meditation can alter their brain waves and trigger the restorative properties of the parasympathetic nervous system. This has been shown to reduce recovery times from traumatic injuries.
Throughout the day, our moods and focus shift depending on what we are doing. This shift in attention is reflected in our brain waves. Brain waves are talked about a lot in mainstream science and media but not a lot of people really know what they are or where they come from.
