IHHT and Sleep: Restful Nights Through Targeted Oxygen Reduction

Neuhausen-Nymphenburg » Sleep und IHHT


Interval Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) can naturally enhance sleep quality. By applying targeted oxygen reductions, IHHT supports mental and physical recovery, positively impacting sleep.

  • Longer Deep Sleep Phases: IHHT extends deep sleep phases, which are critical for physical recovery, ensuring more restful nights.
  • Improved Sleep Architecture: The quality of REM sleep, essential for cognitive processing and memory formation, is enhanced by IHHT. Restful sleep supports mental clarity and overall well-being.
  • More Efficient Oxygen Utilization: Regular IHHT trains the body to use oxygen more efficiently, improving not only sleep quality but also daily energy levels while reducing fatigue.
  • Support for Sleep Apnea: IHHT can stabilize breathing patterns and reduce the frequency of apneas, leading to calmer and healthier sleep.

IHHT thus offers effective, natural support for deeper, more restorative sleep and sustainable recovery.
