FOCUS
Being afraid of the dark can be a natural part of child development as they learn to distinguish between what is real and imaginary. Because of this, bedtime can activate their fight-or-flight or stress response despite there being no real threat or danger. This can lead to bedtime avoidance, trouble falling asleep, staying asleep and staying in bed throughout the night. Use BLAST® to curb the fear of the dark so your little one can rest easy.
How blast® works for focus
BLAST® INTERVENES
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).

CHANGE OCCURS
When using BLAST® consistently to focus, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of your BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause inattention..

MEASURABLE IMPACT
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H.

KATHY MCKINLEY LACINA
helped him focus for long periods of time on difficult assignments
“They do help with the stress that accompanies autism and with focus. My son just started using them. He is 24. Tonight he was in a panic over a speech he needed to write. Normally, that would be it...he would shut down and go to bed...drop the class. (he is in college). Put the TouchPoints on the calm setting for about 15 to 20 minutes and is now working hard on his speech. Panic attack gone. It has also helped him focus for long periods of time on difficult assignments.”

They really have helped my focus and performance.”
"With my job, I often give big presentations to prospective clients. In the morning, while I practice running through the deck, I put my Touchpoints on the sleeves of my shirt to calm my nerves. They really have helped my focus and performance.”
