Non-Medicinal Treatments for Sleep Disorders

Relaxation therapy and imagery- Psychologists train the patient on effective means of relaxing themselves when they are trying to fall asleep. The key to the success of this technique is practice, and it is often helped by adding pleasant imagery (such as thinking that you are lying on a quiet beach) to your thoughts. After suffering for a long time, chronic insomniacs hope for immediate relief, but this and most of the other techniques I've described take a little time and patience before they start to work. But don't be discouraged, the results are encouraging, especially when supervised by a psychologist experienced in treating sleep disorders.
