The frequencies (1-4 Hz) are Delta frequencies, which are linked to deep, restorative sleep and are typically associated with slow-wave sleep, the stage of rest that facilitates healing, memory consolidation, and overall rejuvenation. Delta waves are most prominent during deep, dreamless sleep, promoting relaxation and the body’s recovery processes.
Listening Recommendations:
- Time: 7:00 – 9:00 PM (Evening)
- Activity: Preparing for sleep
- Objective: To promote deep relaxation and support the transition into a restful, restorative sleep cycle. Listening to Delta frequencies during this time can help prepare the child for sleep by fostering a calm, tranquil state conducive to quality sleep.
