They also filled out surveys assessing their quality of sleep.
The biggest change seen was with slow-wave, or deep, sleep, the most rejuvenative phase of sleeping.
(That said, and in case youre wondering, the researchers used MECOTECs cryo air chamber.)

The study is part of a larger project by Dupuys team to examine the health benefits of cryostimulation.
They also plan to publish two other papers looking at how the therapy can affect sleep.
