• Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia set to become more accessible in the UK

    Updated: 2012-11-30 17:00:28
    Here are two facts that cannot be disputed: 1. Sleeping pills lose their effectiveness over time. 2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) can treat insomnia more effectively than sleeping pills over the long term. Unfortunately, it’s still relatively hard to access CBTi – sleeping pills are often the first (and only) option offered to [...]

  • Your spine could be the cause of your insomnia

    Updated: 2012-11-28 23:05:41
    The brain is often to blame for insomnia – but one chiropractor thinks we’re missing the big picture. Dr Wagner argues that insomnia is often down to a stressed or misaligned spine. Apparently, even minor misalignments such as those caused by working at a computer all day can affect the nervous system. This, in turn, [...]

  • Those weekend lie-ins are damaging your sleep during the week

    Updated: 2012-11-21 15:00:44
    New research suggests that weekend lie-ins are making us sleepier come the following week. According to a study undertaken at UT Southwestern, when we sleep in we’re delaying the brain’s circadian rhythm (our internal body clock) which makes it more difficult to fall asleep the following day. This then has the knock-on effect of making [...]

  • The best long term treatment for insomnia

    Updated: 2012-11-19 15:00:16
    Sleeping pills are not a long term solution for insomnia. Behavioral changes are often far more effective (and non-addictive). To illustrate this point, I want to bring your attention to a 1999 study. In this study, 78 individuals over the age of 55 who had been suffering from chronic insomnia for the past 15 years [...]

  • Introducing the ultimate insomnia cure – a lobotomy

    Updated: 2012-11-08 00:56:22
    Dr Maisel blames insomnia on our racing minds. That makes sense, since we know that insomnia is often caused and exacerbated by our inability to switch off our brains. Worrying and excessive thinking keeps our brains active at night, making sleep more difficult. Similarly, the more we worry about sleep, the harder it is to [...]
