White Paper: Effect of Oxa on Sleep quality
Our philosophy is to base the creation of product features, exercises and analytics on recent research in human physiology. We decided to publish some of this work in the form of white papers and make it accessible to you.
Enjoy the scientific dive into Oxa’s technology development!
Resonance breathing exercise using Oxa has a beneficial effect on perceived sleep quality
This paper shows that conducting a 10-minute resonance frequency breathing exercise with Oxa before bedtime can improve perceived sleep quality and shorten the time until falling asleep and reaching deep sleep.
- Oxa’s resonance breathing exercises before sleep improve sleep quality (12 subjects, Groningen sleep quality scale GSQS improved by 50%)
- Subjects fell asleep faster with Oxa (-51% falling asleep duration, 8 subjects) and reaching deep sleep faster (-5.6min, 8 subjects) with Oxa
