If you are one of the many people who
have always found sleep elusive, you might probably want to check out
these alternative treatments to insomnia.
Behavioral Therapy
Usually,
undergoing behavioral therapy is the next resort for most insomniacs
who have already tried all sorts of common methods to no avail. The
objective is to alter one's perception of sleep, as well as how he takes
charge of his sleep environment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
When
most nights find you struggling to sleep but can't, it is not unusual
for you to develop a kind of anxiety due to your frustration. However,
developing anxiety could only further compound your sleep woes. To deal
with this, some people try cognitive behavioral therapy—it aims to help
them take control of their negative thoughts and attitude toward sleep.
Sleep Restriction Therapy
For
some insomniacs, taking sleep restriction therapy works better than the
other alternatives. The objective behind this method is simple: If you
can't sleep, then don't. However, this does not mean staying up all
night until the next day without doing anything to induce drowsiness.
This therapy requires that you do any sleep-stimulating activities like
deep breathing or reading boring materials.
