Have you ever felt like dozing off during a manicure?)))
Some beauty treatments are done while lying down, which allows you to relax a little. However, most women admit that true drowsiness usually hits during a manicure. Fully relaxing is difficult: you have to keep your hand still, pay attention to precision, and hold your fingers under the UV lamp.
Many women believe that the urge to sleep during a manicure is due to the monotony of the procedure and fatigue—after all, we often visit a salon after a busy workday. This is partly true, but there’s a deeper reason behind this feeling.
During a manicure, your hands are constantly in contact with the technician’s hands. Manual therapy experts note that this contact inadvertently stimulates so-called “active points”—specific acupuncture zones that can positively influence overall well-being and the functioning of various systems in the body.
There are several areas on the hands that help improve sleep and reduce stress. One of them is located near the thumb, along the line parallel to the index finger. A relaxing effect can also be achieved by pressing on the side nail folds: gentle pressure on them relieves tension from the entire hand and creates a general sense of calm.
It turns out that a manicure can be considered a real stress-relief therapy! Plus, it’s worth noting this powerful sleep-inducing effect—massaging your fingers in the evenings can help when you struggle to fall asleep.
