Icebein cryotherapy applies localized cold pulses to the legs to promote blood circulation and stimulate metabolism. During the treatment, the affected body region is cooled in a controlled manner, which can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest nerve") and put the body into a restorative state.

In keeping with a modern biohacking approach, the sauna can be used specifically to optimize sleep. The physiological effects are well documented: A sauna session in the late afternoon or early evening initially significantly increases core body temperature. In the hours following, it drops measurably – a temperature profile that corresponds to the natural process of falling asleep.

At the UNIQ Institute, individually tailored infusion therapies are an essential component of the postoperative healing concept. These state-of-the-art IV drips specifically supply your body with essential nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids, among other things, which accelerate wound healing, promote cell regeneration, and naturally support the healing process.

After plastic surgery, swelling, bruising, and tightness may occur. To support healing and relieve discomfort, we use a modern method: continuous water cooling.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an effective method for promoting cell regeneration and is used worldwide in longevity medicine. Through the controlled inhalation of pure oxygen under increased ambient pressure, significantly more oxygen reaches the tissue where it is needed for energy production, detoxification, and healing.

Intermittent altitude training uses a special mask to simulate mountain air in alternating phases. This alternating reduction in oxygen (hypoxia) and enrichment (hyperoxia) challenges the organism in a controlled manner and supports important adaptation processes, such as improved oxygen utilization and increased performance.

Light is one of the most important cues for our circadian rhythm. With our light therapy, we aim to stabilize your internal clock and thus contribute to a balanced sleep-wake cycle. In the morning, a powerful, daylight-like spectrum ensures that the body receives sufficient wake-up signals and pauses natural melatonin production.

Osteopathy views the body as a holistic system in which muscles, fascia, bones, and internal organs interact. Identifying and resolving tension, misalignments, or blockages can be particularly helpful in cases of sleep disorders. With trained hands, our osteopaths specifically palpate areas that could negatively impact sleep, such as the neck or jaw joint.

Exercise contributes significantly to balancing body and mind. Therefore, we provide discreet exercise facilities in our suites, such as yoga mats, suspension trainers, and light weights. This allows guests to be active at any time and in a private atmosphere, without the hassle of traveling to the gym or making appointments.

The spacious spa area at the Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg offers access to gentle treatments that activate lymphatic flow, circulation, and tissue metabolism. Lymphatic drainage and deep tissue massages help eliminate cellular waste products, promote microcirculation, and ensure a fresher, firmer complexion.

Stress and inner restlessness are common causes of difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Meditation and yoga are among the most effective methods for calming the body and mind. Our experienced instructors offer courses that help you learn breathing techniques and gentle movement sequences. These not only promote flexibility and body awareness but also reduce the urge to dwell on your thoughts.

During deep sleep, the glymphatic system—the brain's natural cleansing system—becomes active. The spaces between nerve cells expand by up to 60%, allowing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to circulate more intensively and flush metabolic residues like beta-amyloid from the tissue.

Our skin—like the entire body—follows an internal rhythm. During the day, it needs protection and energy, and at night, it needs rest and regeneration. In our Sleep Retreat, we offer a specially formulated circadian body care regimen that supports these natural cycles—with targeted active ingredients tailored to evening and morning.

As part of our Sleep Retreat, you'll have exclusive access to a personal bath butler—an experienced consultant for all aspects of sleep rituals in the bathtub. With a keen sense of your individual needs, they'll create the perfect bath composition and guide you through a ritual that's far more than just a warm bath.

In our four restaurants, we combine enjoyment and health by using specific foods that facilitate falling asleep or promote sleep quality. In the evening, you can expect light yet aromatic dishes rich in tryptophan, magnesium, and other sleep-promoting substances. This allows for a gentle calming of the nervous system without overburdening the stomach.

The Vendôme Restaurant at Bensberg Castle is one of Europe's most renowned gourmet addresses. Chef Joachim Wissler has been shaping German fine dining for over two decades – with a unique signature that combines culinary depth, precision, and modern health standards.

To help sustain the positive effects of your stay, we offer our online sleep school as a digital companion program. This provides you with access to a structured learning program that helps you develop healthier sleep habits step by step. From easy-to-understand video modules to practical everyday tips, you can access it anytime, anywhere.
