Getting To Know Your Device - Beurer SL 15 DreamSound 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 psychological
well-being; after all, it is during sleep that we process new experiences and improve
our mental and physical fitness, among other tasks.
The beurer SL 15 DreamSound sound therapy sleep aid has been specially design for
making it easier to get to sleep. This sleep aid offers four calming melodies for relaxa-
tion – ideal preparation for helping you fall asleep.
Why is falling asleep so difficult for us?
When we encounter 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 sleeplessness.
This sleep aid helps you actively return your autonomic nervous system to a state of
balance. Its calming sounds distract you from your thoughts and slow down your brain
activity. The release of cortisol declines while the production of the happiness hor-
mone dopamine rises, enabling you to fall asleep more quickly and easily.
