Global data reveals sleep disorders cases to rise from USD 4.5 Billion in 2019 to USD 7.5 billion in 2024. The core cause for increment in the number of patients suffering from sleep disorders is work pressure, lethargy, and ignorance. The fast-paced lifestyles, health ignorance and drug dependency have made sleep disorders chronic.

Difficulty to fall asleep
Sleep lightly (caused by nightmare)
Energy can’t be recovery after sleep
Easily Awakened, be sensitive to voice or light

In older Individuals with Dementia 

Research published in NCBI reveals, older individuals suffering from Dementia experience critical mood disturbances & sleep disorders. The disease trajectory makes them fragile to cope up & eventually they develop sleep related issues. In such condition, sleep medicines like Ambien, Hypnotics and Sleep medicines pose a potential health risk. The risks these hypnotics may cause in such old – aged patients are:

Visual Impairment
Ion Imbalance
Poor Motor Coordination
Resistance on long time administration
Withdrawal symptoms
Illness
Morbidity 

Cranial Electrical Stimulation: Complementary & Alternative Medicine

US FDA CES technology-based devices are the hope of the future. Many big brands are investing in sleep devices and probability of startups joining the trend cannot be denied. These devices are perfectly safe alternative for sleeping pills at a minimal cost. This makes them more in-demand. NishCalm is Johari’s CES based device which has created major stir in the market since its launch.

Let’s dig deeper to find out the illusions & facts that testimonies benefit of CES.

• CES (Cranial Electrical Stimulation) is a potential alternative energy treatment for old-aged individuals, working professionals, frequent travelers and so on. Specially individuals suffering from sleep problems due to prior health conditions.
• CES is known to affect the limbic system of the brain. Predominantly, including cingulated cortex, hypothalamus, thalamus, and/or reticular activating system. Lower currents of 500 microamperes increase the ATP formation while higher currents of more than 5 milli ampere present a decrease in ATP level. An experiment conducted to study the effect of CES reveals 3 folds boost in endorphin production. The increment in the level of serotonin, Beta- endorphins, Nor-epinephrine causes alleviation of sleep disturbances.
