Knowledge workers operate in dynamic and complex environments, and today’s work life comes with many stressors. Because of this, it is not enough to recover only on weekends or during vacations. Maintaining well-being requires continuous recovery. Ideally, the strain from the previous day should be alleviated by the evening and night, ensuring that you wake up feeling refreshed. At the very least, on Sunday evening, you should assess whether you feel as exhausted as you did on Friday. If so, it’s a sign that action is needed.
Recovery During the Workday
People need both mental and physical recovery during the workday. Mental recovery can come from chatting with a good colleague or enjoying a cup of coffee with chocolate. Engaging in tasks you enjoy can also bring a sense of fulfillment and refreshment to your day.
For physical recovery, nourishing food and breaks are essential. A break could include physical activity, such as a short walk outdoors, a power nap, or deep relaxation. For VillageWorks clients, one option for a relaxing and restorative break is the Neurosonic chaise lounge, available in the Erottaja2 Business Lounge. The Neurosonic relaxation method aims to speed up recovery and alleviate stress by guiding the body into a meditative-like state.
What Is the Neurosonic Chaise Lounge and How Does It Work?
The Neurosonic chaise lounge is a Finnish wellness technology product that emits low-frequency vibrations to help calm the autonomic nervous system. This enhances recovery, reduces stress, and improves sleep quality. Different intensity and frequency settings produce different effects: relaxation programs support recovery, while activation programs boost alertness and prepare the body for performance.
The Benefits of the Neurosonic Chaise Lounge for Workplace Well-being
- Enhanced Recovery
Overstimulation and recovery issues often manifest as fatigue, pain, anxiety, muscle tension, and restlessness. These symptoms indicate stress and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, often accompanied by sleep difficulties. Mentally demanding work without sufficient rest can cause nervous system hyperactivity. Recognizing and addressing these symptoms early is crucial, as prolonged stress makes recovery take longer. The vibrations produced by the Neurosonic chaise lounge effectively relax the body by positively influencing the autonomic nervous system. - Stress Reduction
Eliminating stressors from work can be difficult or even impossible, but managing them can make them less overwhelming. Neurosonic helps relieve physical stress through external stimulation, making it easier to shift perspectives on stressors and handle them more effectively. - Improved Sleep Quality
High-quality sleep is the foundation of workplace well-being, as it affects both cognitive performance and emotional balance. Neurosonic use reduces stress hormone production, restoring sleep-related mechanisms. This makes it easier to relax, fall asleep, and enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep.
Make Time for Recovery in Your Daily Life
The more demanding daily life becomes, the more important it is to prioritize continuous recovery. Set aside time in your day for both physical and mental relaxation. We also recommend trying the Neurosonic chaise lounge at the Erottaja2 Business Lounge by booking a session, just like reserving a meeting room. Even a 10-minute restorative moment can make a huge difference! Book a session in the recovery room here.
