That depends on what you want from your float. We have many clients who like to start their day or their week with a morning float. Others find the afternoon a great time to float to destress or use the tank to help solve some issue or problem or deepen their meditation practice. We also have people who like to fully decompress before going to bed for a very restful sleep. This may help you to decide:
Morning Floats: 10am
If you are a morning person and looking to increase your energy and boost your mood for the week then mornings may be the best time for you.
There are some real physical benefits to floating (pain relief, spine decompression, decrease in blood pressure and heart rate) that will happen no matter the time of day you float, but we find that clients who frequent the morning float time experience a real boost in energy, and an elevation in mood (science shows that floating increases endorphins and dopamine) both of which help to make a person more open to ideas and therefore more productive.
Afternoon Floats: 12pm // 2:00pm // 4:00pm
Afternoons can be one of the more popular times to float. One of our clients came out a float and told me he has renamed the float tank to the “Solution Chamber”; which is a very appropriate name. Floating has been shown to synchronize the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The right hemisphere, known for creativity and those “aha” ideas, becomes more dominant while floating and often the “best solution” to a problem can appear. This is a good time to float to de-stress from the day and rejuvenate the mind and body.
Evening Floats: 6:00pm // 8:00pm
One of the great benefits of floating is the decompression of the central nervous system. Clients float in the evening to help unwind at the end of the day. A decompressed central nervous system also prepares the body and mind for deep levels of rest.
Case study on floating and restful sleep: The combination of experiencing deep relaxation in the zero gravity environment and the fact there is over 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt and the absorption of magnesium makes for a restful night’s sleep. In addition, regular evening floats can actually regulate sleep patterns so that you can experience ongoing restful sleep.
