The mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion, even excitement about serious public health issues such as this silk ZZZ's, Dreams, & Melatonin tie in olive.
Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects.
Shop and take pride in knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to disease research/education.
"Start the Conversation!"
Healthy sleep is a complex blend of electrical rhythms and hormones, including: REM (rapid eye movement) for the dream state; Slow Wave for depth and tranquility; and Melatonin, a master regulatory hormone. Deficits in any of these elements can lead to debilitating sleep debt or disorder, conditions that are silently growing into a health crisis.
Take the IA Z-cure: chill with “ZZZ’s and Dreams,” an accurate reproduction of molecular Melatonin, and actual REM and Slow Wave EEGs. Original REM and Slow Wave images courtesy of Sarah Lamm Elder, MS, RPSGT, aka Sleepgeek!
A back-of-tie "Awareness Note" and a source citation are incorporated in the pattern design, which reads:
"ZZZ’s & DREAMS. Healthy Sleep is a blend of REM (rapid eye movement) dream state; Slow Wave for depth and tranquility; and Melatonin, a master hormone for regulating rhythms. Deficits can lead to serious sleep disorders. With this design, you can just relax and chill."
