WHAT IS INSOMNIA?

HOW CAN WE INTERVENE IN INSOMNIA?

At the NeuroImprove Clinic, we start by evaluating the brain's activity level and collecting all relevant information about the factors causing disturbances in sleep patterns. The combination of this data will allow us to establish an individualized, natural, and effective treatment protocol to achieve the best possible results.

‍

Since the ability to fall asleep and remain in deep sleep is the responsibility of certain areas of the brain, Neurofeedback therapy will specifically stimulate these areas, enabling the creation of healthier activity patterns, both in active and restful situations. In turn, with Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology sessions, when formulating the therapeutic goals for each case, we include the review of lifestyle, maladaptive habits, sleep hygiene, and promote emotional regulation.
