Sensory deprivation tank process

Though the process may vary slightly depending on the flotation center, a session in a sensory deprivation tank usually goes as follows:

• You arrive at the flotation center or spa, showing up early if it’s your first visit.
• Remove all of your clothing and jewelry.
• Shower before entering the tank.
• You enter the tank nude and are cut off from all outside stimulation, including sound, sight, and gravity when the tank’s lid or door is closed.
  As you float weightless in the silence and darkness, the brain is supposed to enter into a deeply relaxed state.
• Gently lie back and let the buoyancy of the water help you float.
• Music plays for 10 minutes at the start of your session to help you relax.
• Float for an hour.
• Music plays for the last five minutes of your session.
• Get out of the tank once your session has ended.
• Shower again and get dressed.

To help you relax and get the most out of your session, it is recommended that you eat something approximately 30 minutes before your session. It’s also helpful to avoid caffeine for four hours beforehand.

Shaving or waxing before a session is not recommended as the salt in the water can irritate the skin.

Women who are menstruating should reschedule their session for once their period has end.

Though most of the research that exists is older, there is some evidence that sensory deprivation may improve focus and concentration, and may also lead to clearer and more precise thinking. This has been linked to improved learning and enhanced performance in school and different career groups.

Flotation-REST has been found to be effective in reducing anxiety. A 2018 studyTrusted Source showed that a single one-hour session in a sensory deprivation tank was capable of a significant reduction in anxiety and improvement in mood in the 50 participants with stress- and anxiety-related disorders.

A 2016 studyTrusted Source of 46 people who self-reported generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) found that it reduced GAD symptoms, such as depression, sleep difficulties, irritability, and fatigue.

The effect of sensory deprivation tank therapy on chronic pain has been confirmed by several studies. It is shown to be effective in treating tension headaches, muscle tension, and pain.

A small study of seven participants found it effective in treating whiplash-associated disorders, such as neck pain and stiffness and reduced range of motion. It has also been shown to reduce stress-related pain.

Flotation-REST therapy may improve your cardiovascular health by inducing deep relaxation that reduces stress levels and improves sleep, according to research. Chronic stress and sleep deprivation have been linked to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
