The hidden gem to SleepMaxxing: Lung Training
It is no secret that a great night of sleep will prepare you for the day ahead, which is why we see the immersion of trends such as “Sleepmaxxing” across social media platforms such as TikTok. But what exactly is “Sleepingmaxxing” and why should you care about the latest trend?
Sleepmaxxing has become a growing trend on TikTok and other social media platforms gaining over 100 million posts on the subject. The latest trend is aimed at sharing tips, tricks and hacks for a better night’s sleep. These involve things such as supplements, blue light blocking glasses, nasal dilators and mouth tape to help encourage a deeper more restorative sleep. Be careful. Many of these strategies are not proven to work or can be dangerous if you suffer from sleep apnea. There’s one thing all the TikTokers are forgetting. It’s researched to enhance the quality of sleep. BREATH TRAINING.
So how does Airofit fit into this trend?’
Airofit, respiratory muscle trainer or lung trainer works by allowing individuals take a deeper breath by strengthening their respiratory muscles, opening their lungs more and reducing their respiratory rate. So, follow along as I breakdown the “how” and “why” you should add Airofit to your “sleepmaxxing” routine. How Does Airofit enhance sleep?
Strengthening the respiratory muscles
From snoring to sleep apnea, many of the issues of sleep start with the respiratory system. Airofit improves this by strengthening not only the muscles used to breathe in and out, but also the muscle surrounding all structures involved with breathing. This was highlighted by a recent study that showed
“After 4 weeks of training with Airofit, there was a 20% improvement in quality of sleep”
The participants were finally able to sleep peacefully at night thanks to stronger inspiratory and expiratory muscles. These muscles started to work more efficiently in their body, which enabled them to open and close lungs with less effort, keeping the participants in a deep restorative sleep. Another benefit? The participants noticed easier nasal breathing, so if you are uncomfortable with mouth-tape, lung trainer Airofit could be the perfect tool!
Increase Lung Capacity
Lung capacity is not only great for athletic performance and longevity, but it can also be a great companion to sleep with. By optimizing your lung capacity, you can ensure that your body has the right tools to have the most efficient environment for Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide exchange, reducing your breathing effort and promoting deeper relaxation.
As the lungs expand, the area in which Oxygen enters the bloodstream becomes greater, meaning that your blood steam has an increase in oxygen uptake and CO2 removal, supporting deep, restorative sleep by ensuring proper cellular function.
This higher-level of oxygenation and carbon dioxide clearance will place your body into a deeper state of relaxation, reducing heart rate, increasing heart rate variability (HRV) and recovery. Who wouldn’t like waking each day fresher and ready to tackle the day?
Check out the story of our customer whose quality of sleep was about 75% while training with Airofit. On the days without the lung training, his quality was only 45-55%.
Regulates CO2 Tolerance for Deeper Relaxation
Air hunger, or the strong desire to breathe, comes from elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. You want to clear this out and replace it with fresh oxygenated blood. This is why breath control and CO2 tolerance play a critical role in sleep regulation. Airofit’s training protocols help condition the body to handle higher CO2 levels, which can improve breath-holding capacity and reduce over-breathing at night—both of which contribute to a more restful sleep.
This means that even if you have an increase in carbon dioxide in your body, your body will not panic and cause you to wake up during the night. In simple words, no more sleep disruptions.
Enhanced Cognitive ability
Many of us know to reach for coffee first thing in the morning to “power up” the brain and clear the brain-fog that can plague early morning productivity, but using lung trainer Airofit, individuals had an increase in their cognitive ability after just 4 weeks. This makes them more productive in their daily lives, with an increase in memory, and executive function, making decisions quicker and more accurate.
“After approximately two months of using the Airofit, I can confidently say it has been transformative for me. The device itself is intuitive, and the personalized programs are both challenging and rewarding. Airofit has brought noticeable improvements to my everyday life—I feel more energized and present, which has been invaluable in my role as a father. I highly recommend it; try it and start your journey to better breathing and overall health. (Amde, SE)”
Bringing attention to sleepmaxxing is great! We 100% support it. Nevertheless, don’t overdo it. Select the tools that you trust and are proven to work. Like breath training with Airofit. Create a routine and stop worrying that your sleep isn’t “perfect”.
Sweet dreams!
