Therapy for Sleep Issues
Addressing Sleep Issues with Neurofeedback Therapy
Sleep issues, encompassing a range of disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders, can have a profound impact on an individual's overall health, mood, and cognitive function. Traditional approaches to managing sleep issues often include medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), and lifestyle modifications. Boston Neurofeedback offers an alternative or complementary solution through neurofeedback therapy, aiming to provide a non-pharmacological and sustainable approach to improving sleep quality and overcoming sleep-related disorders.
Neurofeedback therapy, or EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive technique that utilizes the brain's ability to change and adapt, known as neuroplasticity. By providing real-time feedback on brainwave activity, it enables individuals to learn how to regulate their own brain function. For those experiencing sleep issues, neurofeedback therapy targets the brainwave patterns associated with sleep regulation, helping to normalize sleep cycles and improve sleep quality. The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify specific brainwave dysregulations that may be contributing to the sleep issues.
