Sleep Troubles? Tired During the Day? Want Off Sleep Meds?

Our Sleep Program May Be Able to Help

There’s a virtual epidemic of sleep problems among adults, teenagers, even children, that includes falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking early.

If you’re tired during the day, it’s often caused by poor quality sleep – even if you think you’re sleeping well.

Research points to the critical role of quality of sleep for overall health, productivity, emotional balance, and cognitive function at every age.

Many people come to us either when sleep medications don’t work well or when they want to become less dependent on them. We’ve helped many of our clients do that in conjunction with physician supervision.

Our sleep toolbox

Sleep issues can be complex. That’s why we’ve created our sleep toolbox. Here are a few of our tools:

Tool #1 – Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a powerful tool for helping people fall asleep and stay asleep, as well as for improving sleep quality.

Sleep is a “brain event,” which means it’s something that can often be helped with brainwave technology like neurofeedback.

Over 10,000 licensed healthcare professionals now use neurofeedback. Most clinicians consider improved sleep a core focus for a healthier, more functional brain, and for symptom improvement.

Tool #2 – Special Supplements

Before coming through our doors, many of our clients have tried a variety of supplements and herbal remedies that didn’t work. Unless you know the right supplements to take, manufactured to contain the highest quality formulations, in the right amounts, they often aren’t effective. We’ve spent years identifying supplements that meet the right criteria and often recommend them as part of our approach to helping you sleep better.

Tool #3 – Lifestyle and Environmental Changes

Your day-to-day habits have a HUGE impact on sleep. For example, few people are aware that WiFi, mobile phones, and screen time at night can diminish sleep quality.

Other factors impacting sleep, which are not widely known, include exposure to natural light, meal timing, blood sugar regulation, and inadequate exercise. We help you identify some practical ways to use this knowledge to your benefit.

Tool #4 – Comprehensive Brain/Sleep Assessment

We recommend a specialized brain map and quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis for people with chronic sleep issues. This map and analysis help us identify underlying brain issues that may be contributing to an individual’s sleep challenges and guide us in creating a hyper-targeted set of recommendations. We usually determine in the initial consultation whether or not a brain map is recommended.

Tool #5 – …and more!

We utilize a number of other technologies that can help sleep that we’ve vetted over the years to ensure they work consistently. These range from breathing biofeedback to pulsed magnetic fields, photo-biomodulation and other brain stimulation tools. Some involve equipment that can be purchased for use at home.

Because each person is unique and responds differently, we adapt and apply these tools based on each individual’s situation. Options and flexibility are among the keys to how we succeed.

Important to keep in mind: What we do here is not a quick fix approach. It takes time and effort to succeed, but better sleep is a common outcome for many of the people we see.

Note: We are not a sleep lab and we do not test for or treat sleep apnea.
