Sleep /Insomnia Self Help Program

Your sleep problem is unique. It requires more than a few simple questions to determine the full picture of the situation. This is an opportunity for you to fully explore the aspects of your sleep and discover new ideas for help.

People often mention lack of sleep or daytime sleepiness as one of their problems. Sometimes lack of sleep is a symptom of something else such as a physical problem or a psychological difficulty, sometimes lack of sleep is the cause of other problems. It is important to know which is which.

Impaired sleep is "a silent epidemic" in an age when we work more and sleep less. Daytime drowsiness, weariness, irritability, depression, trouble concentrating, are just some of the effects. Stress is the primary culprit, sleep disorders is another.

Because there are many aspects of a sleep problem it takes a tremendous amount of time to investigate all the details. Most health-care professionals simply don't have the time to ask about all the aspects. This is why the Sleep/Insomnia Self Help Program was developed.
