Research at ULiège and University of Fribourg shows how sleep reacts to external stimuli. Relaxing words slow heart rate, enhancing sleep quality.
<p style="text-align:justify">Researchers at the ULiège have collaborated with the University of Fribourg in Switzerland to investigate whether the body is truly disconnected from the external world during sleep. To do so, they focused on how heartbeat changes when we hear different words during sleep. They found that relaxing words slowed down cardiac activity as a reflection of deeper sleep and in comparison to neutral words that did not have such a slowing effect.
