Research documents that neurofeedback is a highly effective treatment for insomnia. In many cases, patients report improved sleep within 3-4 sessions.

Treating Insomnia With Neurofeedback

Understanding Insomnia

Symptoms of Insomnia

Sleep deprivation is more serious than most people realize. It results in impairments in memory, concentration, emotional and impulse control, and impairs immune system function.

Nature of Insomnia

Adults require 8 hours of sleep a night, and children 9-10. If a person averages 6 hours of sleep a night for a week, they have the reaction times of a drunk driver. Chronic sleep deprivation seems to encourage the development of dementia.


Medication Treatment

Medication treatment is common, but often produces only modest improvements, can be addictive, has side effects, and can have withdrawal symptoms when discontinued.

Neurofeedback Treatment

Studies have shown that neurofeedback produces lasting improvements in sleep quality, reduced sleep onset, and total sleep time after 10-20 sessions. A placebo-controlled study indicated fewer awakenings and improved sleep.

Begin Your Journey to Better Sleep
