ASMR Cooling Your Brain for a Deep Sleep

Hello there, it is really good to see you as always and I'd like to thank you so much for coming here today as you are going to be our first participant in something that we've been trying to do at the doctor's surgery to help improve sleep, your sleep. If you feel like maybe that you are a little bit unrestful, if you've got things circling around in your head, if you're just too tired, exhausted to sleep or if you don't fall asleep straight away when you get into bed, if you take a little bit of time and you feel like you're ready for sleep but you don't go as quickly as you want, then this is what we've set up, a meeting between you and I in a very special location. I mean it's specialist, I know it's still pretty close to the doctors but it's a convenient space for you to come in and test this from a doctor's point of view. So I'll be able to take in your information as we go along and during this process I expect to see from you different levels of sleepiness. You're going to start off not sleepy which is probably where you are at the moment and then as we progress a little bit down further and further as we go through a little process, it's not an examination, it's nothing, it's not a procedure or anything like that, it's more of a just a gentle look at things to see how your body reacts to this gentle cooling. So these are sounds which are specifically set up, specifically designed to target and penetrate inside your brain to help relax your mind. It's a brain cooling off session, that's what we've called it here. So these specific sounds are made for you, for your brain just to gently switch off. The beauty with this is that if you fall asleep then you get to and you fall asleep and then whenever you wake up you can go. It's it's kind of like a hotel but we do it from a well-being point of view and this is a well-being thing for you. So I want you to feel like you can rest here, you can fall asleep here and you don't have to think about anything here. Whatever you've got going on at the moment we're going to use that to calm it, relax it and we're going to make it fall asleep so you get a great night's sleep tonight, okay? Thank you, so I'm really glad that you, out of all my patients, came here to do this brain cooling session. So I'm just going to take the final, last bit of information here, what we're going to be doing. So we've got a little bit of an itinerary here, so I will be here for around about half an hour to an hour, however long it takes with you. It could take two hours, it could take three hours but it won't be any longer than that and when I feel like it's right, I'll know when it's right because I'll be doing just some gentle tests on you and listen to your heart rate and how you respond and once I deem that you're in that perfect position for falling asleep, then of course I will leave you in your room here and you can fall asleep. Now I did say wear comfortable clothes which you look like you're wearing at the moment, so you're all nice and comfortable there, that's really good and the beauty with this is that it's not a bed per se, you're in a very, very relaxing, comfortable position at the moment in that chair, so it's kind of like a bed chair, it's very relaxing and very cozy. Once you're able to harness sleeping in a comfortable position upright, you will notice that lying down in a bed will be a breeze, simple as that. Okay, so that's how long it will probably take up to that sort of time, also if you need anything you can just on the side there, what you gotta do is just pick it up and someone will be on the end of that as well. So I know that this is quite an expensive thing for people to do but it's perfect for knowing how to fall asleep but helping you cool your brain. The whole point of this is for you to cool off, give your brain some chill time and in the process you will find you'll get a great night's sleep. So that is what this is all about, it's all about you today. So because you haven't done one of these before, I know you've seen me and done something using certain instruments and one of your previous visits is the actual practice of all of it and you'll find that your sleep is going to improve more and more. The more that you come and see me and do this process then the easier you'll fall asleep and you'll fall asleep quicker and better and it'll just keep getting better and better until you don't even think about it, you'll just lie down and you'll fall asleep straight away. So it's a guided, aided thing that we're doing today, all for you, all to make you feel good. Okay, so during that process I've got you all checked in, I know your name, I know your details are still the same, yeah we've done it enough times haven't we, over the years, is it 14 years? Going on 15 years, yeah that's quite some time isn't it? Okay, there we go, excellent. So that is what I need, so I'm going to put this just here on the table and what I'm going to do, this is actually a wireless one so when I check your heartbeat it's going to upload and sync itself with my computer. The main thing is why not wear a smart watch or anything like that, some people can feel like it's interfering a little bit with this process and the whole point is that you don't need anything like that, it's purely just for me and to know when you're the right time is when your brain is being called, okay, excellent. First thing I'm going to do, just have a little listen, it's going to upload on my computer, okay, right, a bit closer here, just keep breathing very naturally, just very normal, so I'll just do that, I don't want it saying to me you're already relaxed, you're pretty calm, that's very good, just nice and chilled, I think you're already in a reasonably good position for fall asleep, so part of this process is, I know it's a medical thing per se and you can have sleep therapists that come in as well and do this sort of thing which we do have here, but because you're my favourite patient I want to give you the personal touch, but to start all this off it's all about enhancing your sleep, so I'm gonna give you a little bit of spray and just relax you around you and this is just a very nice aroma for you to feel peaceful and calm and then I'll do some really nice cooling sounds for your ears, okay, my gloves on here, so it's very relaxing, so one of the things from a sleep perspective is that nice aromas, chamomile, lavender are known to relax, so spraying it has a very nice effect on making you feel ready to fall asleep, it's really good, as the data already suggests to me also, which is really good, okay, that's what I'm gonna do, because I am your doctor I'm just gonna have a little look in your eye just to see your pupils, I'm sorry if this is just a little bit invasive, okay, just gonna have a little look here, okay, I'm just gonna have a look here, just a little little look, it's okay, okay, perfect, I'm gonna just take the gloves off, so you will notice with these tuning sounds is that we will start from a relaxing pitch which is just a little bit more of it goes through your mind, you'll feel it in your brain straight away and those relaxing sensations it will get deeper, deeper and slower, you'll notice it with the forks, okay, so just let me know when you're ready, perfect, and I'll say no, just in case you fall asleep straight away, I wish you really really relaxing sleep, so at this point you'll notice that your brain just ever so slightly starting to cool down a little bit, these sounds and vibrations are the right frequencies to penetrate those relaxing senses and you'll find yourself thinking less and less and that's when you start to fall asleep and feel ready for sleep even better, place it near you, do it so it touches your head, I'm just gonna put it on your head there, just gently on your head, directly, very very good, on the face, very good, that's just a good way for me to just check what I'm suspecting, so just gently on your chest there, considerably more relaxed already, which means this is working, that's very good to see already, it's already in a very positive effect which is great, so the tuning forks we just move it from different parts, different sides of your head and then I'll place it gently on your head and gently on your face and at the top of your cranium and we allow those vibrations to cool your brain, so we start to hit deeper, slightly deeper sounds at the moment, so this is the right sort of time for you to start sinking a little bit more into your chair and how you're positioning yourself at the moment, very good, placing it on your head, it's really good, so a deeper tone makes you look more relaxed, your head like so, this is very good for cooling, it's just about right, it's very good, doing really well, so there's a subtle difference when you start to reach those deeper frequencies, you'll notice that your brain responds in a slightly different way and you find yourself just thinking less and less because you know that you're in a comfortable position, you're listening to sounds, those sounds are very easy to accept and cool and it's very, very therapeutic which is really good for your sleep, okay, so that's what I said, anyone who has a thing with sleep, a relationship with sleep, which is not quite where you want it to be, come and see me getting this done as many times as possible and you'll notice that improvement, the tuning forks and frequencies do wonders to your brain and it could also benefit focusing as well, very good, nice and relaxed, you can just tell that these lower frequencies are right for you, so let's do it again, I'm going to gently place it on your head, you're going to feel a little bit of vibration but you're going to hear the sounds a lot more differently, let's just have a little check, you need to pay attention what I'm saying now, relaxed, gently put this on your chest here, very, very gently, your eyes are perfectly fine, did you see, that's all of it, I didn't realise that you'd be such an expert and fall asleep, it will cool your brain, so it looks like you're asleep, so I'm going to get one more and just make nice cooling sounds for you to listen to and hopefully this will help you have an even deeper sleep, okay, with a nice relaxing vibration on your head, you will hear the night sleep as best as possible, I think, amazing job, you're fast asleep now so relax, I'll let myself out, just to help a little bit, make sure that you keep fully relaxed and have the best night's sleep possible, whenever you need to cool your brain, have some new time or a little time, just to help improve your sleep a little bit more, then you're always welcome back to see me, to do this session as many times as you like and see if you start to notice a real improvement, very soon, get your sleep just nice and comfortable, perfect, I'll let myself out, enjoy your sleep, take care of yourself, cheerio
