Insomnia Group

This Cognitive Behavioral group therapy programme offers a safe, effective, non-drug treatment option for people with sleeping difficulties. This group will meet weekly for 90 minutes for six weeks beginning at the start of each term or whenever there are sufficient numbers to commence a new (wait-listed) group. Prior to the initial meeting, a brief consultation will be held to determine if the group is appropriate for each individual.

• Waking up frequently during the night.

• It provides sleep scheduling rules which help you to reset your body clock.
  
• It presents 20 concrete suggestions that help you to learn to reduce thinking and worrying in bed (Mental Relaxation).
• It helps you learn to relax your body in bed (Physical Relaxation) and to reduce the fear of going to bed, if that is a problem, and to rebuild the confidence that you can sleep significantly better than you are at present.
• Overall, it helps you to change the habit of sleeping poorly into the habit of sleeping better.

Alpha-Stim SCS Treats Insomnia ... a proven, safe, drug-free approach The Alpha-Stim SCS (Stress Control System) can be used to assess and control the treatment of anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with minute electrical currents similar to those found naturally in the body, using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES).
Used just 20 to 60 minutes every day, every other day, or on an as-needed basis, it can help induce a relaxed state and enable the user to focus attention on the task at hand. The Alpha-Stim SCS is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs, many of which have been proven to have undesirable side effects and can be addictive. For further information ... click here
Easing Into Sleep ... audio programme by Dr Emmett Miller, M.D. Often called "the cure for insomnia," most users never hear the end of this tape. Part A is for use daily. It will help you put the day to rest, to instruct your mind to stop problem solving and release the day with gratitude. Next you program your dreams (if you wish), then project forward to awakening rested and refreshed at the desired time, and mentally project a perfect tomorrow. Part B, Escape From Insomnia, contains multiple procedures to empty your mind, body and emotions of tensions and allow sleep to come naturally.
