Synthetic Sleep™ protocols (designated by “SS” in the name) create a deeply restorative state for both body and mind. Developed at the Shiftwave Institute in Santa Barbara, Synthetic Sleep protocols drive human physiology to a deep state of rest and restoration akin to deep sleep. In deep sleep our bodies perform essential processes for maintaining a strong and healthy constitution.

Studies have shown that during deep sleep, the human brain shrinks, opening up pathways so that cerebrospinal fluid can flush out toxins and metabolic byproducts. Beta amyloid and Tau proteins are two such toxins which accumulate in the brain and are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
