See the night clearly
Polysomnography in our sleep lab records brain activity, breathing, heart rate and movement through the night. This reveals the true architecture of your sleep and the causes behind poor recovery.
Deep Sleep
Restoring healthy, regenerative sleep through advanced diagnostics and innovative, medication-free therapies.
Sleep is not lost time.
It is where the body repairs itself.

Deep sleep explained
Our physicians explain what happens in the brain and body during the night, why sleep loss is so costly and how sleep can be restored without medication.

Why deep sleep at Lanserhof
Because good sleep is not a matter of willpower: it depends on your biology, your rhythm and your environment, all of which can be measured and improved.
Three levers for better sleep
- Aligning your internal clock and light exposure
- Training the brain with neurofeedback
- Sleep hygiene coaching for daily life
-
Choose between Neuro Sleep Reset and the four-day Neuro Sleep Compact retreat on Sylt. Each stay follows the Lanserhof Concept and is embedded in a setting made for rest.
-
A detailed medical consultation opens every programme. Your physician assesses sleep history, stress, medication and daily rhythm, and sets a therapy plan that combines sleep medicine with naturopathy.
-
Diagnostics range from actigraphy and questionnaires to full polysomnography in the sleep lab. Where indicated, sleep-related breathing disorders and restless legs are identified so that treatment addresses the real cause.
-
Chronobiology guides your day: timed light exposure, meals and movement bring your internal clock back into rhythm. Small, precise changes to your schedule often make the largest difference.
-
Neurofeedback trains the brain to enter and hold the states associated with deep, restorative sleep. Combined with relaxation and breathwork, it forms an innovative therapy that does not rely on medication.
-
Sleep hygiene coaching turns findings into habits. You leave with a personal sleep protocol, and follow-up data show how sleep onset, continuity and daytime energy have improved.
Start your Regeneration
Sleep programmes at our resorts on Sylt and in Lans. All prices are per person and exclude accommodation.
As individual as you Your programme
We tailor every stay to your sleep findings, your rhythm and the goals you bring with you.
Deep sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates: tissue is repaired, memories are consolidated and the brain clears metabolic waste. When this phase is disturbed, concentration, mood, immune function and long-term health suffer. At Lanserhof, we treat sleep as a medical discipline and combine sleep lab diagnostics with medication-free therapies to help you regain restorative nights.
Deep sleep begins with an honest diagnosis
Many people have slept poorly for years without knowing why. Polysomnography in our sleep lab records brain waves, breathing, heart rate and movement across a full night and shows how much deep sleep you actually reach. Together with questionnaires, actigraphy and a detailed medical consultation, this creates a precise picture of the causes, from disrupted circadian rhythm to sleep-related breathing disorders, and forms the basis of your therapy.
Restoring deep sleep without medication
Our approach relies on the body's own regulation. Chronobiology aligns light exposure, meals and movement with your internal clock. Neurofeedback trains the brain to reach and sustain the states that precede deep sleep. Breathwork and relaxation lower the arousal that keeps people awake. Sleep hygiene coaching addresses evening routines, screens and bedroom conditions. Elements of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia help to break the cycle of worry and wakefulness.
Deep sleep as a lasting habit
A few good nights on Sylt or in Lans are only the beginning. You leave with a personal sleep protocol that fits your everyday life and a clear understanding of what supports your rest. Follow-up measurements document how sleep onset, sleep continuity and daytime energy have changed. This measurable, medication-free approach is what allows deep sleep to become a stable part of your health rather than an exception.
