Music Mimics REM Sleep

Rose knows a long time ago a study showed that there is healing power in sound. Babies fall asleep listening to their mother voices as they sing them a lullaby or tell them a store. Now scientists are making new discoveries to use sounds to help with health problems, emotional issues and REM sleep disorders. They are experimenting to determine exactly how sound affects our health, relieve us from stress and put babies to sleep.

Holographic music is a map of the bodies energetic. Researchers found that certain brainwave frequencies relate to physical, emotional, genetic, and nutritional conditions. They found that listening to frequent energy patterns will support the biological system and help individuals heal themselves. Holographic music will rebalance deficiencies in their biological system.

Through music therapy as an application to affect a positive change to our psychological, physical, mental, or social functioning, holographic music mimics REM sleep and improves general health. Holographic music will help you to fall asleep faster by eliminating the stress in your daily life. You will hear a low hum and each speaker will have a different frequency, when your brain combines them you will become drowsy. Some holographic music contains subliminal messages that contain the following words or phrases:

• I am calm, I relax into deep sleep
• I let go and drift to sleep
• The day is over and I am free
• My mind is at rest, I sleep soundly
• My thoughts easily flow into rest and resolution
• My body relaxes into deep sleep
• Each breath leads me into sleep
• I am safe, I trust the future
• Inner peace fills my sleep
• I accept everything as it is
• I surrender for now
• My mind is free, my body is at rest
• Problems resolve while I sleep
• My dreams are healing and rejuvenating
• I am fulfilled
• I get the rest I need
• I rest in peace and comfort
• I drift safely to sleep
• I feel comfortable in my bed
• I surrender to serenity and peace

Brainwave messages will help slow down mental activity and heighten receptivity to the subliminal messages. Just lie down, relax and shortly you will drift into a deep sleep.

Note: We find that ear-bud headphones are the most comfortable for listening while sleeping.

REM Sleep Music

Rose knows that sleep aides are sometimes necessary to get a good night’s sleep.  Many of us cannot relax enough because our mind is reeling from all of our daily stress and activities.  Even though it’s your daily activities that provide material for our dreams in REM sleep, it’s those same thoughts that keep us awake and prevent us from falling asleep.  We toss and turn thinking about what we have to do tomorrow, whether it is something as simple as going to the grocery or trying to solve a major family problem.  The ability to fall asleep can be as easy as just clearing our mind.  Studies have found if we listen to sleep music it not only relaxes us, but it also deters us from thinking about our to do list.  

When you sleep you are in control of your sleep pattern, which I will discuss later, unlike your sleep cycle.  Your sleep cycle is divided into five states; drowsiness, light sleep, deep sleep that has two stages and REM or rapid eye movement sleep which happens 90 minutes into sleep.

1.  Drowsiness lasts five to ten minutes, this stage prepares the body by decreasing your heart rate, reducing your body temperature and slows down your breathing to make you ready for the deep sleep stages.  

2.  Light sleep the second stage relaxes your muscles.  It’s in this stage when you feel yourself drift off and your body may jerk and twitch.  You might also be aware of your thoughts, but unable to feel your extremities.  REM atonia continues during REM sleep, thus preventing the body from exhibiting movements made in the subject's dreams.  REM atonia prevents the sleeper from flailing about if dreaming about running.  

3.  Deep sleep stages 3 and 4 also known as delta sleep and slow-wave sleep.  Slow-wave sleep is more intense than delta sleep.  In this stage you will be difficult to wake up and if you are, more often than not, you will be disoriented for a couple minutes. The deep sleep stage is when your brain redirects some of  its blood flow to the muscles restoring physical energy and builds up your immune system.  

The four stages before you start dreaming or REM sleep are called Non-REM sleep.  These short stages lasts from five to fifteen minutes and have an interesting pattern of repetition.  The stages of a sleep cycle are 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, REM.

4.  REM or rapid eye movement sleep is when we dream.  Not only do our eyes move, our faces, fingers, legs can twitch, respiration speeds up and our heart rate increases. Yet our voluntary muscle groups including our chin and neck become paralyzed or REM  atonia. The first period of REM last around ten minutes and the final REM stage about an hour.

Sleep Patterns are how we, as individuals, go through the stages of sleep, including how long it takes us to fall asleep and how many times we wake during the night. There are many ways we can try to control our sleep patterns either by establishing a healthy night time routine or taking sleep medication that may cause an addiction.  Insomnia which is a sleep disorder that can cause us to wake up too early, wake up many times during the night, waking up and feel like we haven’t slept and the inability to fall asleep.  Insomnia sleep patterns disrupt our sleep cycles making it difficult to concentrate during the day.  It also can cause other health problems including depression.  One way to treat insomnia is by listening to relaxing music which helps us redevelop good sleep patterns and experience normal stages of sleep all night.  REM sleep music can become a healthy part of your night time routine without the side effects of sleeping pills.  

Sleep studies have reportedly shown proof that music helps those that suffer from insomnia sleep better and longer.  There are many types of music that can distract your mind and help you to relax such as; easy listening, instrumental, classical, Binaural audio or zMusic.
