NEURO PRACTICE
Assess
Your physician may have already conducted assessments to identify causes of sleep disturbance. If you have not seen your physician, this would be encouraged. In addition, an interview, psychological testing, and a quantitative electro encephalogram may be useful in identifying possible causes of your unique situation.
Plan
The assessments conducted by your physician and our group, a plan can be developed to improve the sleep in your life. The plan would be intended to integrate with you medical plan. We may identify elements that can be used to improve sleep. These would include such things as sleep hygiene elements to add to your program, mindfulness and relaxation practices, heart rate variability training, and neurofeedback practice.
Practice
Once the planning stage is complete, psychotherapy, biofeedback, and neurofeedback may begin. Often this will begin with training in mindfulness and relaxation exercise. This is often followed by breath and heart rate training known as HRV. Based on your situation, neurofeedback may be implemented as an additional means of training you to place yourself in the optimal mental stance to induce sleep.
