Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Sleep Quality Improvement
Why Sleep Quality Matters
Adequate, restorative sleep is essential for cognitive function, emotional balance, and overall health.
Poor sleep can lead to fatigue, impaired concentration, mood disturbances, weakened immunity, and
increased risk of chronic diseases.
How HBOT Improves Sleep Quality
- Reduces Inflammation: Lowers pro-inflammatory markers that disrupt sleep architecture.
- Regulates Circadian Rhythms: Enhances oxygen delivery to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, supporting natural sleep-wake cycles.
- Boosts Melatonin Production: Improves pineal gland function for deeper, more restorative REM sleep.
- Enhances Cellular Energy: Increases ATP production, reducing nighttime awakenings due to fatigue.
- Alleviates Anxiety & Stress: Promotes relaxation by balancing neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin.
- Supports Respiratory Function: Improves tissue oxygenation, aiding those with sleep-related breathing issues.
Treatment Protocols
- Session Duration: 60 – 90 minutes
- Frequency: 3 – 5 sessions per week
- Total Sessions: 15 – 20 treatments
*HBOT for sleep quality improvement is an off-label application. Treatments should be prescribed and
supervised by a qualified hyperbaric medicine physician as part of a comprehensive sleep health plan.
