Getting To Know Your Device - Beurer SL 10 DreamLight Gebrauchsanweisung

1. Getting to know your device

Why is sleep so important?
A restorative night's sleep is of great importance for our physical and psycholog-
ical well-being; after all, it is during sleep that we process new experiences and
improve our mental and physical fitness, among other functions. The beurer SL 10
DreamLight sleep aid light has been specially designed to make it easier to get to
sleep.
The device projects a coloured, pulsing circle of light onto the ceiling of your room.
You breathe in and out as guided by the light projection, which helps you reach a
state of tranquillity.
You can choose between 2 different breathing techniques "RELAX" and "4-7-8".
Why do we find it hard to fall asleep?
When we are facing stress and anxiety, the autonomic nervous system puts our
bodies into a state of alarm. The body then excretes the stress hormone cortisol
and inhibits the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, resulting in sleepless-
ness.
This sleep aid helps you actively rebalance your autonomic nervous system. Calm-
ly breathing in and out to the rhythm of the light distracts you from your thoughts
and slows down your brain activity; more oxygen gets into your blood stream, cor-
tisol release falls, and more of the sleep hormone melatonin is produced, enabling
you to fall asleep more quickly and easily.
