Deep Recovery: the course for burnout and broken sleep

A 10-day course (3 days minimum) for chronic fatigue, burnout and poor sleep: floating, magnetotherapy and an evening protocol. The night corrects the plan from six watch markers.

In short

• What it is. Deep Recovery is a spa course against chronic fatigue syndrome and professional burnout: it restores the parasympathetic tone of the vagus nerve (nervus vagus) and the architecture of sleep without sleeping pills or sedatives.
• How long it runs. The base course is 10 days, the shortest stay is 3 days. A shorter stay is still built, but the plan says plainly that the course is cut short: the mid-course review and the repeat body-composition measurement only appear from a certain length.
• The core. Floating, aroma massage, Indian head massage, pearl baths, magnetotherapy, oxygen therapy, andullation and the swimming pool — plus the evening sleep protocol.
• What it is steered by. Six markers from a Garmin Forerunner 165 Music watch: heart rate variability, sleep score, stress, Body Battery, respiration and resting heart rate.
• Who decides. The algorithm drafts, the doctor signs. The day-1 examination is part of the programme, and the final word is always the doctor's.
• What the night does. Every morning the night just past is compared with the guest's own average for this stay. What is free and ours the portal changes itself; paid items it proposes to the doctor on the morning sheet.
• Who this document is for. Spa doctors, spa coordinators and hotel administrators. Updated 22 August 2026.

Who the programme is for

The programme is chosen when the complaint sounds like a state rather than an illness: I do not sleep enough, I wake up wrecked, by the evening there is nothing left, I snap at nothing. Behind those words there is usually sympathetic dominance — the fight-or-flight mode that does not switch off for the night.

The portal does not diagnose and does not prescribe treatment. It shows the doctor six numbers from the wrist and how they moved across the stay; the decision about the course is the doctor's, at the day-1 examination.

• Chronic fatigue. The morning Body Battery does not recover overnight and the daytime curve falls by midday.
• Professional burnout. High daytime stress with no periods of physiological rest — on the watch there is almost no blue zone in the day.
• Broken sleep architecture. There is sleep, but little deep and REM sleep in it, and the sleep score stays below 60 out of 100.
• Shift work and frequent flying. Bedtime drifts, and night-time HRV and resting pulse drift with it.
• Recovery after prolonged load. Athletic, occupational or post-operative — in agreement with the guest's own physician.

The six markers the course is steered by

Every threshold below is a default. Each one is moved by the doctor in Panel → Rules inside its allowed range (the full list of thresholds).

The comparison is not against someone else's norm but against the guest's own average for this stay. For the first 2 days the portal only collects that baseline and raises no flags on HRV, resting pulse or load — there is nothing to compare with yet.

What each marker means

• HRV is the key to the whole course. Under chronic stress the sympathetic tone dominates and the spread between heartbeats collapses. A rise and then a settling of night-time HRV inside the guest's own range is the first sign that the vagus nerve's recovery machinery has switched on.
• The sleep score is about quality, not hours. Deep sleep drives growth hormone synthesis, the clearing of the brain's glymphatic system and physical muscle repair; REM sleep processes the day. Eight hours with the delta phase cut short produce the same complaint as five.
• Stress shows whether the day has any rest in it. The orange zone is strain, the blue zone is physiological rest. A burnt-out guest has almost no blue zone at all, and the job of the course is to bring it back, not to lower an average.
• Body Battery is income against spending. The portal prints both figures: how much the night charged and how much the day spent. A low morning charge means an ineffective night; a fast daytime fall means the load of the stay is above this guest's strength.
• Respiration is the quietest of the six. Under sympathetic overdrive breathing during sleep speeds up; in deep relaxation it slows. The numbers are read as a trend across the stay: the direction matters, not one night.
• Resting pulse is the vascular bottom line. A resting pulse that falls by mid-course reflects vascular spasm easing and the heart being unloaded. The opposite move is a reason to lighten the day — and it is what raises the “Resting pulse up” flag on the morning sheet.

The medical skeleton of the stay

The algorithm places the diagnostics itself, before any procedure is picked: they hold the start and the end of the course and give the doctor two points to compare instead of one. Below is the skeleton of a 10-day stay.

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (SAHRV, 90 minutes) is not part of this programme's skeleton: it lives in Longevity Diagnostics and is added by the doctor separately when the picture of the night needs working out.

The evening sleep protocol

The protocol is attached to the plan automatically when the goal of the stay is stress and sleep (Service Members Recovery earns the same protocol) or when the guest picked the Sleep focus add-on.

It is not in the timetable: these are rules for the evening, not procedures. The guest sees them as a separate block in the programme, the desk sees them in the stay briefing.

• A quiet walk after dinner — a gentle load instead of an evening workout.
• No coffee or strong tea after 14:00 — caffeine's half-life covers the evening.
• Last drink two hours before bed — fewer night wakings, a longer unbroken delta phase.
• A cool, dark, quiet room — a condition for falling asleep, not a nicety.
• No screens for an hour before sleep — screen light shifts melatonin release.
• The same bedtime every day, including the day you arrive — the most effective item on the list and the least convenient one.

The core of the course and the dose over 10 days

The dose below is the configurator run over 10 days on the standard budget: 2 paid slots a day. Comfort has 3, premium 4, and the core grows with them. The walk, the drinking cure and the pool do not consume a slot.

The result of such a course: 7 diagnostic items, 23 procedures, 10 walks (480 minutes of walking over the stay) and 30 servings at the springs — 3 times 150 ml a day. The procedures come to 22,250 CZK, accommodation and board excluded.

What a day of the stay looks like

The treatment rooms work 09:00–12:00 and 12:30–16:00, on Sunday mornings only. That is why paid items sit in two slots — morning and afternoon — while the evening belongs to self-service: the sauna world 15:00–21:00 and the pool until 21:00.

"Floating in the evening" will never appear in the plan: it would be a promise with nobody to keep it. The arrival day is medical only — the examination and the drinking cure, no procedures.

On top of the core the doctor adds from the extras: hot stone massage, hammam, candle massage, ear candles, the rasul ceremony, Hawaiian lomi-lomi and Ayurveda massage. They never enter the plan automatically — the doctor places them or the guest books them.

How the procedures bring the markers back

The table ties a deviation to a prescription. This is the working logic of the course, not a promise of a result: the dose and the composition stay with the doctor, and the portal shows whether the marker moved.

The night loop: what the platform changes itself

Every morning the night just past is compared with the guest's own average, and the doctor's morning sheet is built from that comparison. The owner set the boundary on 22 August 2026: what is free and ours the portal changes itself, paid items it only proposes.

Readiness for the day is computed from five parts weighted Body Battery 30, HRV 25, sleep 25, resting pulse 10, load 10. The green zone starts at 75 points, amber at 50; below that the sheet says plainly "rest — the doctor decides".

• An included heat procedure is always dropped. The sauna world leaves a day carrying a strain flag without argument — it is free and ours; the guest can put it back with a button in the portal.
• The walk is shortened by 30 %, but never below 20 minutes and never twice in one morning: the night correction and the walk correction can both fire on the same day.
• Paid items are left alone by default. Automatic swapping of a paid item is switched on by the hotel with a separate toggle in the super-admin, and even then no more than two items change in a day.
• Sleep flags produce advice, not a swap — reinforce the evening protocol. High daytime stress adds a breathing practice.

Contraindications: what switches off by itself

What runs first is not the selection but the ban: a ticked box in the questionnaire drops a procedure out of the pool before the algorithm starts laying out days. The procedure is not hidden in the interface — it is simply not taken.

The freed sessions are not lost: the quota goes to a neighbouring procedure on the same pillar, and the total number of procedures in the course does not change. The figures in the right-hand column are the same 10-day course rebuilt with the box ticked.

A note for the doctor and the spa coordinator

• The day-1 examination is not a formality. Until the doctor signs it, the assembled plan of the stay is a draft offer.
• Magnetotherapy goes by prescription. The price list marks it with an asterisk: the guest cannot put it in a basket themselves, inside the programme it stays.
• Floating has a rhythm of its own. No more than 3 sessions a week and never two days running — that is how the procedure sits in the catalogue, and the algorithm keeps to it.
• A guest's refusal goes to review, not into nothing: the slot stays with the doctor so an alternative can be found.
• The blood draw day is a wish, not a booking. The nurse works a short-and-long-week roster and reception sets the exact day; the plan says so outright.
• Without a watch the course runs as an ordinary spa protocol. The skeleton, the weekly limits and the lighter days are all in place; only the night correction is missing — and the portal says so instead of inventing numbers.

Questions and answers

• How long is the course and can I come for three days? The base course is 10 days, the shortest stay is 3. Three days will still carry the entry examination, the drinking cure and the core procedures, but there will be no mid-course consultation and no repeat body-composition measurement — the plan will mark the course as cut short.
• Does the programme work without sleeping pills? Yes. There are no pharmaceutical sedatives in it: sensory unloading, massage, heat and an evening routine do the work. Medication prescribed by the guest's own physician is neither cancelled nor replaced by the programme.
• What if the guest is afraid of enclosed spaces? Nothing needs doing: the claustrophobia box in the questionnaire switches the floating capsule off before the plan is built, and the freed sessions go to the open pearl baths, aroma massage and oxygen.
• Does the platform change procedures without the doctor? What is free and ours, yes: it drops an included sauna out of a heavy day and shortens the walk. Paid items are only proposed on the morning sheet by default, and the doctor decides.
• Which device are the six markers read from? The hotel fleet is the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music: the Music version matters, the plain Forerunner 165 has no Wi-Fi, and the watch has to hand over the night without the guest's phone. A guest's own device is accepted too, and the same markers are read from it.
