So Your Brain's Stuck in "Always On" Mode?
Do you ever find yourself lying in bed scrolling through your work email at 11 PM? If so, you're not alone.
According to Indeed's Work Wellbeing Survey, 67% of us can't seem to find the mythical "off switch" at the end of the day. And only 6% of people have mastered the art of truly disconnecting.
The thing is your brain doesn't actually come with an off switch. That same superpower state that makes you crush your day doesn't automatically power down just because you've changed into sweatpants.
In fact, 27% of us are stuck in this perpetual "on" mode, bouncing between "I should take a break" and "but what if I just check one more thing?"
Think of your nervous system like coming home from a high-energy workout. You can't go from full cardio mode to restorative yoga without a cool-down.
Those racing thoughts? That tension in your shoulders? That's your system still in HIIT mode when it's time for savasana.
This is where the Feel Good Mat's vibration therapy can help. The Feel Good Mat works like a gentle downshift for your nervous system:
- Gentle vibrations stimulate with your vagus nerve
- Your brain gets the "we're safe" signal
- Your system naturally downshifts
- Your body remembers, "Oh right, this is how we relax"
With the Feel Good Mat's pre-programmed modes, you can create a natural wind-down progression.
Start with Relax + Anchor mode while you:
- Watch your favorite shows
- Read a good book
- Ease out of your day
These vibrations promote Theta Brain Waves which is your natural relax and chill brain state.
Then, transition to Rest + Restore mode when you're ready to:
- Prepare for sleep
- Signal bedtime to your body
- Support deeper rest
These vibration promote Delta Brain Waves which are what your body produces when you're in a deep sleep state.
Take it even further and pair either mode with the app's specially designed sounds for:
- Deeper meditation
- Enhanced relaxation
- Better sleep prep
By matching these frequencies, you're essentially giving your nervous system a gentle guide back to its natural state of balance. No more lying in bed wondering why you can't shut off your thoughts. No more fighting against your body's rhythms.
Sometimes the smartest way to wind down isn't trying harder to relax (which, let's be honest, never works). It's about giving your system the support it needs to remember, "Oh right, this is how we shift from doing to being."
