Improvement of several stress response and sleep quality hormones in men and women after sleeping in a bed that protects against electromagnetic fields

Abstract

Background The electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by the technologies affect the homeostatic systems (nervous, endocrine, and immune systems) and consequently the health. In a previous work, we observed that men and women, after 2 months of using a bed with a registered HOGO system, that prevents and drain EMFs, improved their immunity, redox and inflammatory states and rejuvenated their rate of aging or biological age. Since, EMFs can act as a chronic stressor stimulus, and affect the sleep quality. The objective of this work was to study in men and women (23–73 years old) the effect of sleeping for 2 months on that bed in the blood concentrations of several hormones related to stress response and sleep quality as well as to corroborate the rejuvenation of their biological age. Methods In 18 men and women, plasma concentration of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine), serotonin, oxytocin and melatonin were analyzed before and after 2 months of using the HOGO beds. A group of 10 people was used as placebo control. In another cohort of 25 men (20 experimental and 5 placebo), the effects of rest on the HOGO system on the concentration of cortisol and testosterone in plasma were studied. In all these volunteers, the biological age was analyzed using the Immunity Clock model. Results There is a significant increase in plasma concentration of DHEA, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and melatonin as well as in testosterone, after resting for 2 months in that bed with the EMFs avoiding system. In addition, decreases in Cortisol/DHEA and Testosterone/cortisol ratio and plasma dopamine concentration were observed. No differences were found in placebo groups. In all participants that slept on HOGO beds, the biological age was reduced. Conclusions Sleeping in a bed that isolates from EMFs and drain them can be a possible strategy to improve the secretion of hormones related to a better response to stress and sleep quality, which means a better endocrine system, and consequently better homeostasis and maintenance of health. This fact was confirmed with the slowdown in the rate of aging checked with a rejuvenation of the biological age.

Subjective Sleep Quality Versus Objective Accelerometric Measures of Sleep and Systemic Concentrations of Sleep-Related Hormones as Objective Biomarkers in Fibromyalgia Patients

“…Regarding catecholamines, results of the present investigation agree with the few studies carried out in this context. It is known that, while adrenaline is related to high levels of stress [46] that can impair sleep, noradrenaline is strongly associated with sleep quality and maintenance [48], and people with sleep disorders have been found to have low plasma noradrenaline levels [46]. The absence of differences in the ratio of adrenaline/noradrenaline concentration seems to be in agreement with the results of accelerometry tests showing that FM patients do not have an objective sleep disturbance, at least related to these neurohormones.…”

“…The absence of significant differences with respect to the reference control group in the objective sleep quality of FM patients is also confirmed by the results obtained in the assessment of the main neuroendocrine mediators involved in sleep. For example, the levels of oxytocin, a hormone that is clearly related to sleep quality [46] and also related to pain and depressive states in FM, were similar to those observed in the control group, in agreement with previous research in FM patients not diagnosed with depression [47]. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies evaluating the relationship between oxytocin levels and sleep quality in FM patients, which indicates the novelty of the results of the present investigation in this respect.…”
