Flotation therapy sensory deprivation tank

Participants will float for 60 minutes, 2 times a week for 8 consecutive weeks or alternate with sleep pod every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. All participants will wear a fitness tracker and a sleep monitoring ring worn on the finger for the duration of the study. Each session will be preceded by a short safety questionnaire and an anxiety index. Following each session, the participant will complete the index again. Participants will also complete morning and evening questionnaires and monthly questionnaires on a smartphone.

Sleep Pod

Participants will utilize the sleep pod for 60 minutes, 2 times a week for 8 consecutive weeks or alternate with float every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. All participants will wear a fitness tracker and a sleep monitoring ring worn on the finger for the duration of the study. Each session will be preceded by a short anxiety index.
