Can You Sleep in a Float Tank?

Yes, it’s common to reach a state of hypnagogia while floating – otherwise known as the space between wakefulness and sleep. This state of mind is also called the Theta brain state, which we achieve during deep meditation, just before sleep, just before awakening, and during times of deep relaxation. This lucid state of consciousness will often be misunderstood as falling asleep since it can be difficult to distinguish whether you’re awake or dreaming during this time.
