Navigating Sleep Cycles with Selective Thermal Stimulation: A Conversation with Dr. Haghayegh
Title: Navigating Sleep Cycles with Selective Thermal Stimulation: A Conversation with Dr. Haghayegh
Description: The intricate process of regulating sleep-wake cycles involves circadian Process C and homeostatic Process S. In this episode, we welcome Dr. Haghayegh to discuss his research on how selective thermal stimulation (STS) of the cervical spine region can enhance body heat dissipation, increase the distal-to-proximal skin gradient (DPG), and lower core body temperature (CBT). These changes can contribute to shorter sleep onset latency (SOL) and improved sleep quality.
Dr. Haghayegh's team conducted a study involving 11 young, healthy male participants who were challenged to go to bed two hours earlier than usual. They were subjected to treatment and control nighttime sleep sessions. The treatment session involved the use of a dual-temperature zone mattress and an STS pillow, which applied mild heating to the cervical spinal skin for 30 minutes after lights-off.
The study's results highlight a significant increase in blood flow and DPG and a significant decrease in CBT in the treatment night compared to the control. Most notably, SOL was significantly reduced, and subjective sleep quality significantly improved.
Join us as we delve into the findings and implications of this study with Dr. Haghayegh. We'll explore how innovative sleep facilitating systems like STS pillows and dual-temperature zone mattresses can influence sleep cycles and enhance overall sleep quality.
