Many users prefer morning or daytime sessions to feel more energized, alert, or centered. Using the device during the day may be suitable if your focus is:
Other users report improved sleep, reduced pain, or deeper recovery when using OBST before bed or during quiet rest periods. This aligns with your body’s natural biology.
Why? During periods of rest or sleep, your body naturally enters a heightened state of self-repair. It is not spending energy on movement, digestion, or alertness — so it can focus more fully on recovery.
🧬 Scientifically Supported:
During sleep and deep rest, the body increases growth hormone release and initiates cellular repair mechanisms[1]. This is when the parasympathetic nervous system is most active — a state known for supporting healing, inflammation reduction, and stress recovery[2].
👉 Therefore, if your goal is physical recovery, sleep support, or pain reduction, using the device during downtime — especially before or during sleep — may provide the most rapid benefits.
Try different times and track how you feel. Some users benefit most from morning sessions, others swear by bedtime use. Let your results guide your schedule.
