Facts about the Wrist band used for insomnia patients

A new product to help with sleep is, Hivox DM-800 Dreamate Wristband Biofeedback Device called Dreamate™ and is a biofeedback device designed to help you sleep better without medication and side effects.

It is a bracelet-size device which helps to improve the quality of your sleep by massaging key acupressure points on the inner left wrist. The massage helps to re-tune the biological clock and train your body to relax and sleep. Many users naturally gain up to 55 minutes of restful sleep per night using this new device.

Sleep is as important to your health and well-being as exercise and a healthy diet. This is when your body gets a chance to repair so that you feel great the next day.  If you don't get enough rest, you will not be at your best.

While people have different sleep needs, the National Sleep Foundation reports that most people get around eight hours of sleep each night. But it is not just the hours of sleep that matter as much as the quality of the sleep. I can sleep for 10 hours but if it is not uninterrupted restful sleep which includes deep and slow wave sleep, then my body is not getting restored for the next day.

Here are some signs that you're probably not getting enough sleep

• If you wake up and feel as if you have not slept any at all or your feel lethargic and groggy – then you are not getting the sleep you need.
• You have problems falling asleep and staying asleep during the night which can be the results of poor sleep habits.
• Taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep is a sure sign of not getting enough sleep.

Being well rested doesn't just mean you don't feel sleepy. A good night's sleep can have several significant benefits that can bring out your best self.

Benefits of a good sleep regimen can include:

• Stress Reduction
• Better concentration
• Better mood and emotional well-being
• Sharpened senses
• A strong immune system

If you continue to suffer from insomnia every night for about two weeks, it is probably best to visit your family doctor or a sleep specialist.   Sleep medicine has become a recognized medical subspecialty. Doctors specializing in sleep medicine help people who are unable to sleep well. Sleep doctors are able to diagnose and treat both common and rare sleep disorders.

In fact, your doctor may recommend the wrist sleep band device for you to use.
