'Relaxing Rooms' To De-Stress You

Stress and tensions have imbibed the urban life today, with the 'rats race' growing tougher and faster every day. Finally at the end of the day, you realize you are richer by a few bucks and your doctor is even richer, thanks to your ill health.

In a bid to fight economic doom and gloom, scientists have claimed to created the world's most relaxing room to calm nerves and escape from the daily grind.

The University of Hertfordshire is opening its mellowing multimedia attraction to the public as part of its Health and Human Sciences Research Institute Showcase. The room features soft green lighting, artificial blue skies, the scent of lavender in the breeze and the dulcet tones of a low frequency lullaby capable of soothing the most savage of beasts.

Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy a 15-minute session in the relaxing room and experience the "mild sensory deprivation" that the University claims could benefit "students facing exams and businesses wishing to lower their employees' stress-related absenteeism".

Prof Wiseman said: "Previous work has shown that these colours, sounds and smells all help people relax, but this is the first time that they have been combined in this way, and it will be fascinating to look at the effect on visitors' relaxation levels."The exhibition runs until October 24 at the University of Hertfordshire's de Havilland campus.

"The pace of modern-day life, credit crunch and financial crisis is making many people feel very stressed and so we have created this space to help them relax," the Telegraph quoted creator and psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman, as saying.

After the success of 'Oxygen booths' the 'relaxing room' is sure to be welcomed by the people to beat the stress out of their systems
