Your body functions at varying intensities. Sleep is the lowest intensity and when you are excited you are at the other end.

Stimulation is the process of moving to a higher intensity. The most common method we use for sedation involves oscillations of the thoracic spine which inhibits the sympathetic nervous system segmentally but there are a number of ways to achieve sedation.
