Brainwave Optimization® Provider Polly Nelson Shares Top Five Dangers Caused by Sleep Deprivation
Brentwood, TN (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- Polly Nelson, Director of Nashville Neuro-Training and Brainwave Optimization® Provider in Brentwood, TN meets with clients daily who seek a noninvasive, drug-free alternative to improve sleep. “There are many reasons why people have trouble sleeping these days,” says Nelson. There are some people that have been diagnosed by their physician as having sleep apnea. For those that don’t have a physical condition like sleep apnea, their chronic sleep loss may be due to some sort of recent or past trauma. If left ignored, chronic sleep loss can cause serious dangers and according to recent studies, brain damage.
“Clients that contact me with sleeping issues mention more common effects such as changes in mood, memory loss, and decline in personal performance,” says Nelson. Studies show that persistent sleep deprivation may lead to harmful health conditions and most recently linked to brain damage. Polly Nelson shares the top five serious dangers caused by sleep deprivation and why a holistic approach such as Brainwave Optimization® may be a very beneficial option for those chronic non-sleepers.
1. Bodily Injury. Sleep deprivation contributes to both occupational Injury and automobile injury. Excessive sleepiness also contributes to a greater than twofold higher risk of sustaining an occupational injury. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates conservatively that each year drowsy driving is responsible for at least 100,000 automobile crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,550 fatalities.
2. Heart Damage. Studies published by a resource from the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School have found that a single night of inadequate sleep in people who have existing hypertension can cause elevated blood pressure throughout the following day. This effect may begin to explain the correlation between poor sleep and cardiovascular disease and stroke.
3. Brain Damage. A new Penn Medicine study recently published in The Journal of Neuroscience, shows disturbing evidence that chronic sleep loss may be more serious than previously thought and may even lead to irreversible physical damage to and loss of brain cells.
4. Obesity. Studies have shown over the past decade that people who sleep less than six hours a day were 15 to 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours.
5. Early Mortality. Results published in 2007 from the “Whitehall II Study", showed that those who had cut their sleep from seven to five hours or fewer a night nearly doubled their risk of death from all causes. Sleep deprivation is linked to chronic medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, and that these conditions may lead to a shortened life expectancy.
“Treating sleep as a priority, rather than a luxury, may be an important step in preventing a number of unhealthy issues,” says Nelson.
About Brainwave Optimization® (HIRREM™)
High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM™) or, as it’s commercially known, Brainwave Optimization® (a product created by Brain State Technologies, LLC, Scottsdale, AZ), is a noninvasive procedure that uses a computerized system designed to reflect the brain’s frequencies back to itself using musical tones. Resonance between the musical tones and the electrical circuits in a person’s brain can facilitate relaxation allowing the brain to bring balance to it’s two hemispheres. Brainwave Optimization® has shown reduced symptoms of insomnia in a recent pilot study by Wake Forest School of Medicine.
