This is particularly the case with sensory isolation flotation, in which a capsule filled with water saturated with Epsom salt, at skin temperature, aims to replicate a drastically reduced state of sensory stimulation.<\/p>\n
This discipline is supposed to reduce insomnia problems, often associated with stress, anxiety or excitement.<\/p>\n
What does the science really say about the link between floating and insomnia?<\/h3>\n
A recent meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine<\/em>, entitled ‘Does flotation-rest (restricted environmental stimulation technique) have an effect on sleep?<\/p>\n
Although the researchers note some analytical limitations in measuring sleep quality, the result is that of the 9 selected studies, floating in sensory deprivation demonstrated beneficial effects on sleep in both clinical and non-clinical samples.<\/p>\n
In two studies, the effects were even maintained 4 or 6 months after treatment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The study concludes that floating in sensory isolation is a promising treatment for the symptoms of insomnia and sleep disorders. The researchers stress the need for more studies, especially in populations with clinically verified insomnia.<\/p>\n
