The alpha bridge method is a sleep technique that involves breathing and eye movements to help you fall asleep fast. It gets its name from alpha brain waves, which are brain waves that occur when ...

The first three stages of sleep are characterised by three types of brainwaves: alpha waves, theta waves and delta waves. The former are typically recorded when we’re in the process of falling ...

As part of the study published in SLEEP, researchers at the University of Surrey manipulated the brain waves known as the alpha and theta oscillations in 18 healthy young adults while they slept.

Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) happen when we are relaxed with eyes closed, as in meditation. Theta waves (4-7 Hz) are common in the lighter stages of sleep or the transition from waking to sleeping.

Patterns of neural activity known as alpha waves, long thought to originate in the thalamus, may actually stem from a different brain region entirely. Amanda was an associate editor at The Scientist, ...

This alpha brainwave is what is present when we are relaxed and conscious. To induce sleep (a delta brainwave of 5 hertz), a person may need to devote at least 45 minutes, in a relaxed position, ...
