Our clients live in the mountains
and sleep near sea level
The best sleeping conditions are found at sea level, where the air contains the ideal amount of oxygen.
-
As you move to higher altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and the air becomes thinner.
-
With each breath at higher elevations, you take in fewer oxygen molecules, which can disrupt sleep and overall rest.
-
Our oxygenation system simulates an altitude near sea level, providing the optimal oxygen levels for better sleep and an improved quality of life.
Most mountain resorts in North America have roughly 30% less oxygen available compared to sea level.
Altitude disrupts sleep
Insomnia, a common issue at high altitudes, is often marked by:
​
-
Poor sleep quality
-
Frequent awakenings
-
Brief, repeated arousals
-
Nocturnal hypoxemia (low blood oxygen)
-
Periodic Breathing​
​
Unstable breathing patterns trigger the brain to wake up because the body isn't getting enough oxygen. This disrupts the restorative stages of sleep, creating a cycle that repeats each night, leaving you exhausted and drained the next day.
Even those who are acclimatized to mountain living often struggle with sleep.
​
Six to eight hours of oxygenation at night can break this cycle, promoting deeper, more restful sleep and providing renewed energy throughout the day.
Periodic Breathing
High-altitude periodic breathing is characterized by clusters of rapid breaths followed by pauses in breathing (apnea). This occurs as the body struggles to adapt to lower oxygen levels, prompting faster breathing to compensate. However, this rapid breathing reduces CO2 levels, signaling to the brain that it's not necessary to breathe, disrupting normal sleep patterns.
This creates a vicious cycle of interrupted sleep—breathing, then not breathing, gasping for air, waking, and dozing off.
Invigor8 Air Design’s Oxygenation System simulates an altitude closer to sea-level , eliminating the effects of altitude sickness and alleviating symptoms such as insomnia and periodic breathing.
