Vagus Nerve

When you're anxious, you often take short, shallow breaths or you forget to breathe altogether. For “in the moment stress”, SUNDs vibrations to the chest, along with Cyclic Sigh breathwork, can quickly calm you down. Targeted vibration to the sternum helps decrease stress that builds in the chest. Combining that with with long exhales will eventually reset the body to start taking normal breaths again. These physiological shifts communicate to the body that it can transition into a state of recuperation. This establishes a constructive cycle: your body facilitates clear thinking, and this tranquil state further strengthens the sense of security.

Over time, SUNDs gentle vibrations + soothing sounds to the sternum/palms, while laying down for 15-20 minutes/day, is a fantastic way to tone your Vagus Nerve.

Vagal Nerve Tone (VNT) influences Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which measures stress levels and cardiovascular health.

Anxiety? the Cyclic Sigh can Help

Recent research from Stanford Medicine demonstrates that the Cyclic Sigh for 5-minutes can lessen anxiety, improve mood, and lower your HRV, which is a sign of overall body calmness. You can perform the Sigh by taking one deep inhale, immediately followed by another sharp inhale, and a long, slow, sighing exhale.

You can find Cyclic Sigh on the SUND app.

Breath Work recommendation:
1. Breathe IN, imagine you are inhaling calm & goodness.
2. Breathe OUT, imagine you are exhaling negativity & stress.

Using the Pomodoro Technique for Microbreaks

Studies are showing that “microbreaks” are an effective approach to daily work fatigue. Research revealed that employees were more inclined to take short breaks when they perceived their employer to be concerned about their health. The Pomodoro
Technique is an effective & efficient approach to breaks throughout the work day.
The SUND smartSLEEVE on the desk is a fantastic reminder for busy executives to take microbreaks
throughout their day.

Vibrational Touch

There exists a profound biological link between the sense of touch and emotional well-being. When you come into physical contact with something, the touch receptors in your skin transmit a signal to the central region of the brain.

When you engage with SUND the sensations it produces go beyond mere vibrations. They create a rhythmic experience that triggers your emotional cortex, inducing an elevated state or mood.

The super-soft plush smartSLEEVE enhances those comforting vibrations.

The SUND Sound Bath

Soothing sounds from your pillow stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Our PNS helps us regulate stress. The PNS is the part of our nervous system which brings us down to a calmer place where we can relax and fall asleep. When you lay your head down on a SUND pillow, the soothing sounds activate that calming response.

While we love SUND haptic vibrations for the chest, abdomen, palms we don’t recommend you using vibrations when sliding it under your pillow. Those haptic vibrations to the head are not pleasing. While the sounds from your smartphone speakers, on a low volume setting (slightly muffled by your pillow) is extremely calming & helps you fall asleep.

ARTICLE #6

Essential Oils lower stress

Most studies, have indicated that various essential oils, such as lavender, lemon and bergamot can help to relieve stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. Most notably, inhalation of essential oils can communicate signals to the olfactory system and stimulate the brain to exert neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine) thereby further regulating mood.

The SUND smartSLEEVE diffuses essential oils, at your desk, without impacting co-workers.

ARTICLE #7

How Music Affects the Nervous System

Vibrational sounds stimulate the vagus nerve, which in turn activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Our PNS helps us regulate stress. The PNS is the part of our nervous system which brings us down to a calmer place where we can relax and fall asleep. When you slide the smartSLEEVE under your pillow, you receive a gentle vibration from soothing sounds and sleep music that activates a calming response within your nervous system.

EMF?

SUNDs Airplane Mode Trigger eliminates EMF radiation from 5G, WiFi, & Bluetooth. While wireless headphones, earbuds, AirPods, & sleep headbands emit continuous EMF radiation all night if worn in bed.

Apple AirPods and EMF – how bad are they?

An independent test revealed that Apple AirPods emit approximately 10X the EMF when on a phone call VS. holding an iPhone next to your ear. You also may not realize that the AirPods are transmitting EMF all the time – even when you are not listening to music! Of course, you would expect them to transmit Bluetooth EMF when you are speaking on a phone call, but EMF is also transmitted non-stop while you listen to music and even when you are not doing anything! Most concerning is the no buffer zone between the AirPods/earbuds & the brain when they are jammed into the ear canal.

Bluetooth Headphones >>> EMF

Bluetooth radiation is one of the least discussed forms of electromagnetic fields. The lack of any formal studies has led industry “experts” to conclude that they are safe. Bluetooth headsets are earbuds that mimic miniature Wi-Fi routers. These hands-free devices use radio waves (RF) instead of cables to connect to a smartphone, cell phone, or PC. These RF frequencies are classified as low-energy emissions. But, a lot of recent research proves that even at these low levels, RF radiation is still capable of inducing a host of adverse effects on human biological systems. Some of these include neurological damage and DNA fragmentation, which can lead to headaches, ADHD, biological effects, Tinnitus, etc.

Most importantly, consider where Bluetooth headphones are most of the time. You place them directly in/on your ear. This means that even if Bluetooth devices operate at lower radiation intensities, the contact time between the EMF and your brain tissue is elevated. ALSO have you ever stopped to think about the contents of your head? It makes for the perfect antenna since it is filled with lots of salty fluid and conductive tissue, which are ideal for sending and receiving electrochemical signals.

Effects of blue light and sleep

While light of any kind can suppress the secretion of melatonin, Blue light, at night does so more powerfully. Blue light suppresses melatonin for about twice as long & shifts circadian rhythms by twice as much (3 hrs vs. 1.5 hrs). Blue light is emitted from your smartphone, iPad, laptop, Kindle, & TV screens.

SUND smartSLEEVE blocks Blue light from your smartphone at bedtime.

Reduce screen time to improve sleep

Blue light, from TVs, smartphones and laptop screens inhibits your body's ability to prepare for sleep. Blue light, more than any other light, blocks the hormone "melatonin" that makes you sleepy. Bottom line: You’re less drowsy than usual at night, and it takes you longer to fall asleep.
