1. ALERT STATE.
An imbalance in the autonomic nervous
system is responsible for most difficulties when fal-
ling asleep: when disturbed, neurotransmitters like
noradrenaline signal your brain to stay awake.
2. BREATHING.
Dodow helps you restore the balance
of the autonomic nervous system thanks to slow
breathing. Following a slow and regular breathing (6
breaths per minute is the optimal rate) helps stimulate
the baroreflex: a physiological mechanism that allows
you to relax.
3. REST STATE.
After 8 minutes you will be in the ‘rest and
digest’ state. Your metabolism will slow down, the se-
cretion of neurotransmitters will stop, and your body
will be completely relaxed, leaving you less receptive
to your thoughts and to the ambient noise. Sleep is
not far off...
