 The benefits from inclined bed therapy are pretty impressive and so I thought I'd talk about them in this video. Now inclined bed therapy essentially is where you raise the head of your bed by four to six inches and you just sleep and you don't need a special bed for this, you can use you know books or blocks of wood and the idea is that by doing this you massively improve the quality of your sleep, you know your blood circulation. Let me just read a few of the benefits out of doing this, the reported and claimed benefits. So improving blood circulation, boosting in metabolism, improving lymphatic drainage from the brain, that's quite impressive. Improving immune system, improved respiratory function and easing symptoms associated with Alzheimer's, diabetes, glycova, migraine, sleep apnea, acid reflux, varicose veins and more. Now that is a pretty impressive list of benefits that you can get just by putting a few books under your bed. So does it really work? Well firstly let me just show you how it would, how you would do it. Okay so as you can see this is my bed and it doesn't look really any different to normal, right? You wouldn't really notice it's on an incline and it's not actually on that big of an incline but if you look here you'll see, if you look here you'll see that it's actually on an incline, it's been raised up by a few books and it's been raised by about four inches or so and what I found is that this does make a difference to how I feel when I sleep. If you've got a bed like mine you'll also have like a central pillar, I don't know if you can see that over there and this central pillar is to support the weight from the middle of the bed. Now what you'll also need to do is to put a few books underneath that because otherwise the weight from as you sleep on the bed is going to crush the middle part and it might even break the bed so you need to make sure that the weight is balanced between the books at the head of the bed and also the middle part if you've got a double bed like this. So that's how you would do it, that's how you would have an inclined bed or you know how you do IBT the therapy and the idea is that it improves all of these things by gravity. The idea is that gravity will improve your blood circulation, it helps your digestion because the food flows down through you as opposed to laying flat and you know giving acid reflux and things. It's fairly simple and you think about it like that you know it's basic physics you know liquid or water will always find a level whatever container you put it into it will always find its level. So if you're if you're digesting your food and if you imagine your food's like a liquid now when you've digested it or when you've chewed it up it will lay flat okay so it's no surprise then that lots of people have acid reflux because the food isn't able to go anywhere it's just laying flat in your system whereas if you're on even a slight incline the food will collect at the bottom you know like towards where it needs to be excreted and away from your throat and your esophagus and your neck and everything like that so you won't get acid reflux. The same can be said of your blood circulation it's important to let the gravity actually help your blood circulate properly. So there is some merit to this this inclined bed therapy does seem to be grounded in science at least in some way and the actual the actual way this was discovered right the actual history behind this is somebody called Andrew K. Fletcher discovered doing his research he's always been interested in how things work and how to improve how things work and he he noted that trees he noted that trees have a very simple and effective way of distributing their sap and nutrients from the root of the tree to the branches at the top and it's using gravity so what the tree does is it will create sort of like a really dense heavy sap at the top of the tree that will flow down the tree using gravity and as it flows down it then forces the other nutrients and the less dense water or you know nutrient carrying sap and everything like that it will force that to go up the tree so it's a very similar system with our human body I'm not entirely sure of the science behind it but it seems to have some grounding in physics and science so what I would suggest to you to do is just to try it out okay it's a very simple experiment I've only just started doing this you know a couple of weeks ago we're not even that about a week ago and so I'm gonna see how it goes I'm gonna see how it feels more importantly and whether I sleep better or not what I can say is that it does feel nicer you know even that slight incline it does feel sort of a bit nicer to sleep on a bed that is on an incline and I don't know whether that's just a placebo effect or whether I was expecting it to feel better look the truth is guys it's very easy and cheap to do that is it free essentially you just put a few books under your bed so go ahead and try it let me know what you think leave a comment letting me know whether you think it's a good idea and this video actually was inspired by a comment from somebody so it's one of you said have you tried an incline bed therapy and I said no I haven't so I'll try it out so leave a comment letting me know let me know also like if you want me to try anything else any new ideas or things that you want me to research or have a look at and I'll see you next time thanks for watching guys this video and this channel was supported by my patreon followers please consider giving just a dollar a month to support this channel or just click the links in the description you'll find links to various lucid dream products articles techniques and tutorials if you did enjoy this video please click the notification bell and subscribe and I'll see you next time why are you still watching this you should have clicked one of my related videos by now right or subscribed or gone on to my website or something like that
