Improving Sleep Hygiene: The Best Evening Settings

Most people use their massage chair on high intensity after work to "knock out" knots. That’s great for 5 PM, but at 9 PM, it’s a mistake. High-intensity tapping or percussion is invigorating—it wakes your muscles up. For sleep hygiene, you want the exact opposite.

To prepare for bed, you should stick to Kneading and Rolling modes at the lowest speed setting. The goal is to mimic "Long Stroke" Swedish massage, which lowers the heart rate and body temperature. Combine this with the Zero Gravity recline. Elevating your legs helps with respiratory flow, making it easier for your body to transition into the deep, rhythmic breathing required for Stage 3 sleep.
