The brain wave frequency that is typically associated with promoting sleep and relaxation is the delta wave, which has a frequency range of 0.1 – 3 Hz.
Brain wave entrainment using delta wave frequencies may help to slow down brain activity and promote a state of deep relaxation, which can be beneficial for falling asleep.
Brain wave entrainment may have a positive impact on the quality and duration of REM sleep. REM sleep is the stage of sleep where we experience vivid dreams and it is believed to be important for memory consolidation and emotional regulation.
Some studies have suggested that brain wave entrainment using theta wave frequencies (4 – 7 Hz) may increase the amount of time spent in REM sleep and improve the quality of REM sleep.
The Resona Health Brain Wave protocols use a proprietary mix on frequencies in the ranges stated above.
The bottom line is everyone is a little different. Try both the Delta and Theta protocols 30 min before bedtime and see which one works for you best.
Or run Theta and Delta back-to-back. Theta first and then Delta 1 hour before bedtime.
