Sleep FAQs & Troubleshooting Guide for a Good Night’s Sleep

The integrative approach advocated in this book is holistic. It takes ideas and techniques from mainstream sleep medicine and combines these with approaches derived from alternative healing and spiritual practices.

Sleep medicine offers medication and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is derived from behavioural psychology and focuses on the way we, as animals, respond to stimuli. While CBT can be very effective, particularly in treating insomnia, some people find it a difficult treatment regime to follow, and prefer the seemingly softer, gentler approach of alternative practices.

You could see the two approaches as exemplifying yin and yang: soft and hard, gentle and tough, non-linear and linear. A combination of both might be just what we need. In this following section we dive into topics related to sleep and its disorders, and where relevant I suggest ideas that come from both perspectives.

Remember you should always consult a medical practitioner when facing health challenges and that the following information should not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice.
