Sensory deprivation tanks
Is float therapy good for recovery or is it a waste of 90 minutes laying there floating?

The writers of both the old and retread Hawaii Five-O spoke highly of it for breaking the will.Originally Posted by Eric Larousse

Some of us have good memories fore what happened back when.
"Ka ʻōwili ʻōkaʻi" (Hawaiian for: "Cocoon") is the first episode of the ninth season of Hawaii Five-0. It aired on September 28, 2018. The episode was written by Leonard Freeman & Peter M. Lenkov and was directed by Bryan Spicer.[1] In the episode Steve is captured and placed in a sensory deprivation tank while the rest of the team attempts to rescue him. The episode is a remake of the 1968 episode of the same name.[2] Ka ʻōwili ʻōkaʻi - Wikipedia

I tried it recently for the first time, although I am not training right now so I can't attest to its usefulness for recovery. I did find that my muscles could relax in a way that they don't even in bed, because of the perfect neutral support of the water. However, I didn't sleep well the night before and so I dozed off in the tank. I suffer from sleep apnea so I think I kept waking up due to not being able to breathe well. I was on the edge of/in and out of sleep much of the time. I would tell myself I was going to meditate, but after a couple of breaths I would find myself dreaming instead. I enjoyed it but it wasn't the altered state of consciousness I was hoping for (which is why I went). Not worth frequent repetition for me at the price. I might feel differently if I didn't have apnea.
Word of warning, the salty water stings if it gets in your eyes, nose, or you have any little scratch. I got settled in the tank, then realized I needed to get out to put vasaline (provided) on a scratch. When I got out water ran down from my hair into my eyes so I had to get into the shower and rinse off. Somehow in the course of that it got up my nose, so after I got back into the tank I had to get out again and blow my nose while being careful not to let it run down from my hair into my eyes again. Bit of a comedy of errors.
