Just the other day I had a client ask me, “Will you be upset if I fall asleep?”. I said, “No way! Will you be upset if I fall asleep?!” We had a good laugh about what he would do if that really happened.
In all seriousness though, people wonder if we have clients fall asleep regularly.
This happens all the time! Massage therapy is great for relaxation and if you’re tired, it’s actually really easy to fall into deep relaxation and fall asleep. I fall asleep almost every other massage. Increased blood flow and the calming effect on the nervous system contribute to this relaxation.
As massage therapists, we think of it as the ultimate compliment to our work. We love it that you are so comfortable with us that you are able to let down your guard enough to doze into a peaceful slumber. This deep sense of relaxation helps alleviate muscle tension.
There have even been dozens of times I have had to return after leaving the massage room to wake a client up! :) It’s common for people to fall asleep during a massage session. The comfort of the massage table plays a significant role in this relaxation.
What happens if I fall asleep during a massage?
If you find yourself falling asleep during your massage, it is perfectly fine. If you do fall asleep, your massage therapist will let you sleep as long as you need to and will wake you up when the massage is over. For those who prefer to stay awake, there are tips to help you remain alert and fully enjoy the experience.
We’re guessing you didn’t know this, but clients fall asleep during a massage all of the time. It might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually quite the opposite! When a client falls asleep, it means they are so relaxed during a massage that they drift off into dreamland.
