Manufacturers of various gadgets do not cease to amaze us with the appearance of ever new models of miraculous technology and useful devices. Not so long ago, capsules for sleep from various manufacturers appeared on the Russian market. The novelty is not yet available everywhere. But some companies in large cities can already boast of its acquisition. Those who are concerned about the high productivity of their staff install capsules in their offices.
Why is this necessary?
Economists and physiologists have long been conducting research on the best organization of the workflow. Millions of dollars have already been spent on the development of various techniques in this area. As a result, it was found that it is better to organize working hours so that in the middle of the day the tired brain of employees had the opportunity to recover.
In the early 2000s in the United States, this problem reached the state level. The US Department of Health has identified as its priority policy the fight against overwork and stress arising at work. It was then that they seriously took up the development and improvement of such equipment as a capsule for sleeping.
How did it all start?
What kind of device is this and why was it invented? The first to come up with his invention were Asian scholars. The history, culture and lifestyle of the East are inextricably linked with relaxation techniques. Meditation and short naps are an important part of the life of every resident of Southeast Asia.
The first prototype of modern capsules appeared in Japan in the last century. Having already crossed the line of the 2000s, scientists decided to develop this area, and now we have the most modern device that allows us to isolate ourselves from the hustle and bustle of the day and plunge into a calm short-term sleep.
What is a capsule?
The sleep capsule itself is a kind of pencil case with a physiologically shaped couch inside, a relaxing soundtrack, color lighting options and a timer. The walls of the cabin do not miss extraneous sounds, and the one who is inside creates a feeling of complete detachment from the world.
Cabins for the device are of two types: those that hide the person completely, and those in which only the upper half of the body is closed. The second option is more convenient for offices. It looks less bulky and takes up little space. The place where the legs are located is raised, this makes it possible to remove fatigue and swelling from them.
Now in Russia
For the first time, the opportunity for Russians to purchase these original devices was provided by German and American manufacturers; Energy Point was the first to import their capsules for sleep. Later, the market was saturated with similar equipment from Japan, China, and Korea. Opened the production of capsules in Russia. The devices have not yet taken root, they are equipped with offices by large advanced concerns, led by businessmen from the West. There has long been a practice of short daytime rest of employees to increase the return on their abilities.
Such a dream, of course, should not be long. The developers say that you need to wake up in the fast phase of dreams, otherwise the refreshing effect will not come. Therefore, it is recommended to set the timer for 20 minutes - this is enough to cheer up.
Additional functions
Each manufacturer wants to give their capsule model developed by them. This can be an unusual external form, or the presence of a water mattress, into which you immerse yourself with special pleasure. The more advanced features, the more expensive the capsule for sleeping. The price of a “tricked out” model is about 12 thousand dollars. But there is hope that with the saturation of the market, the price of miracle technology will decrease.
Already there are more economical models, but there will be less comfort when using them. Say, in a vertical capsule you will not relax much, and such a position of the body does not contribute to falling asleep.
Once, the developers came up with the idea to combine a capsule for sleep and an oxygen pressure chamber. Doctors have long known the beneficial effect of oxygen on all cells of the body, to find a way to saturate them means to take an important step on the path to recovery. This process is called "oxygenation."
Oxygen capsule - two in one
The capsule for sleeping with oxygen differs from the usual pressure chambers in that the oxygen does not enter into it in its pure form. It is mixed with air, but it is absolutely safe, unlike using pure O 2 . Staying in such an environment improves skin respiration and promotes its regeneration. If you regularly carry out such procedures, then the improvement of appearance and rejuvenation is guaranteed.
An oxygen capsule for sleeping is often equipped with aromatherapy and massage functions. Built-in nebulizers saturate the air with particles of natural essential oils, and vibration exposure contributes to better pore opening, which increases the efficiency of the entire procedure.
A capsule for sleeping with oxygen, the price of which starts at 180 thousand for a Chinese product and reaches figures exceeding one and a half million (Japanese capsules for sleeping) - one way or another, is in demand. Anyone who cannot afford a functional expensive model can always have a session at the spa.
Indications for staying in an oxygen capsule
For both men and women, a capsule for sleeping with oxygen will help get rid of:
- headaches and muscle aches;
- chronic fatigue;
- high blood pressure;
- psoriasis and other skin diseases;
- overweight;
- neurological problems.
Those ladies who care about their appearance, procedures will help to avoid:
- loss of breast shape;
- reduce skin elasticity;
- postpartum problems;
- cellulite.
Prospects for Sleepy Capsules
Abroad, cabins with such equipment began to be deployed everywhere at airports and at large stations. Passengers are satisfied. They are pleased with the pleasant opportunity to take a nap for an hour while waiting for a flight. Particularly impressionable citizens, however, are afraid to oversleep and not have time to catch a plane or train.
Today, in large cities around the world, “sleepy spas” are opening, where the townspeople, in between cases, can get a good rest. No one is surprised anymore by calling a friend at noon that the answer sounds: “Call later. I am sleeping. "
Asian countries picked up the idea and went even further. There you can now rent a room in the capsule hotel, which is actually a capsule 2 meters long and a half high. Standing inside such a room does not work, you can only sit and lie there. It is cheaper than a full-fledged hotel apartment. And such a hotel occupies absolutely nothing, which is important for overpopulated Asian countries.
Would you like to sleep at work?
According to some media reports, the survey showed that the leaders of Russian enterprises are not yet ready to introduce such an exotic innovation in their office space. Nevertheless, the mentality dictates, rather, to intensify the struggle for labor discipline, and not to organize sleep in the middle of the working day. So for now, sleeping capsules will continue to delight office workers exclusively in big cities, remaining exclusive there.
For those who want to try the novelty at any cost, the exit will be a visit to the salon, where you can combine a dream in a capsule with other pleasant procedures. Of course, after hours.
