Understanding Sleep Disorders and Struggles
When people think about sleeping issues, insomnia is the first thing that comes to mind. While insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, there are over 80 different sleep disorders and a wide array of sleeping struggles that people grapple with every single day. These include:
- Restless leg syndrome (RLS) – Leg discomfort or a need to move legs, disrupting sleep
- Bruxism – Grinding teeth during sleep
- Hypersomnia – Being unable to stay awake during the day
- Parasomnia – Acting in usual ways while falling asleep, sleeping, or waking from sleep (e.g., sleepwalking, talking, eating, etc.)
- Circadian rhythm disorders – Dysregulated sleep patterns/cycles
- And more
According to the Institute of Medicine Committee on Sleep Medicine and Research, it is estimated that 50 to 70 million Americans chronically suffer from a disorder of sleep and wakefulness. These disorders greatly hinder daily functioning and adversely affect health and longevity. While you may be able to catch up on sleep from time to time, the long-term effects of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders are associated with a wide range of health consequences and concerns. These include increased risks for:
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Depression
- Heart attack
- Stroke
Treating Sleep Disorders
Traditional options for sleep disorder treatments have mainly consisted of prescription medications. While those sleeping aids can be effective, they are not for everyone, and prescription meds can oftentimes come with adverse side effects.
New options and methods for sleep disturbance treatment are constantly being developed and expanding. One of these reliable and all-natural treatment methods that is worth considering is neurofeedback.
Exploring Neurofeedback for Insomnia
Also called neurotherapy, neurofeedback (NFB) is a type of biofeedback that presents real-time feedback from brain activity in order to reinforce healthy brain function through operant conditioning. This real-time data on your brain’s electrical activity is collected via sensors placed on the scalp. Through repeated training, you can re-train your brainwave patterns to improve symptoms and address sleep struggles.
Neurofeedback has a powerful ability to positively impact sleep because it works on the areas of the brain that allow and regulate sleep. Many neurofeedback participants can train their brains to allow sleep again by rewarding it for creating healthier brainwave patterns. Even if you have been visiting sleep specialists and have sought treatment for years, neurofeedback may help improve your sleep surprisingly quickly. This could be the ideal sleep disturbance treatment to help you finally get those long-awaited restful nights of sleep.
While neurofeedback cannot change underlying conditions that affect sleep like sleep apnea, it has been shown to be very effective at helping the brain learn desired patterns for improved sleep.
