Hi Foojoy,
It's good to hear you're already seeing benefits by using LifeFlow 10.
I don't know enough about Sleep Apnea to answer your question in detail but I mentioned your situation to someone who knows quite a lot about sleep and entrainment and this is what he said:
LifeFlow 1, as much it might prove useful for sleep. The thing to keep in mind is that we don't just sleep in Delta. Every 60 to 90 minutes we
go through a complete sleep cycle beginning at Alpha, progressing down through Theta and ending up at Delta. Delta is obviously where our deepest sleep is achieved.
So for example, let's say your personal sleep cycle is a 90 minute cycle (it varies between 60 to 90 minutes from person to person and is somewhat individualized.)
You begin at Alpha and remain in that range for perhaps 15 minutes.
Then you slip down into Theta and remain there for another 15 minutes.
Then you slip down into Delta, where you remain for a full 30 minutes.
Then your cycle swings back up and you rise from Delta back to Theta and remain there for 15 minutes, and to there you rise to Alpha and remain for an additional 15 minutes, bringing your entire cycle to 90 minutes.
Then the cycle begins all over again.
These times are not exact, but I give them to you just so you have a feel for how the cycle works. As your second sleep cycle begins it mirrors the first except that you remain for a slightly longer time in Alpha and Theta, and rather than having a full 30 minutes in Delta you get perhaps only 20 or 25 minutes. Again, this varies from individual to individual.
Each subsequent cycle gives you less and less time down in Delta until at the end of a full night's sleep you spend hardly any time at all in the Delta phase.
So using LifeFlow 1 track would be good for sleep, but it is not a cure-all for someone having sleep issues because it completely ignores the Alpha and Theta states that the brain is going to insist on going through, entrainment track or not.
I hope this helps FooJoy.
