Dodow - Why it works

The virtues of cardiac coherence

Updated over a year ago

Benefit the power of cardiac coherence

Dodow is a sleep aid device that projects a blue halo of light onto your ceiling. Synchronize your breath with the light movement and you will practice cardiac coherence.
​

This form of breathing is used by professional skippers to fall asleep quickly during their trips.
Breathing through cardiac coherence induces a mechanical physiological response in your body that helps you fall asleep fast or more importantly naturally 😴
​

With Dodow, it feels like gaining control of your own ON/OFF button

What happens in your body:

  • Deactivation of your sympathetic nervous system responsible for the state of alert/vigilance.

  • Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for recovery, relaxation, and sleep.
    This is the state of relaxation, the same state you find yourself in during digestion: drowsy.


πŸ’‘In this state, your body is physiologically in the perfect condition to sleep.

In addition, the light of the Dodow also has a hypnotic effect, which accelerates falling asleep.
(It is a powerful phenomenon, the same effect that television can have when you doze off in front of it, although it is well-known that its light should keep you awake).

So, after a few minutes using Dodow, you will let go and fall asleep!
