Sleep Medicine - Holistic Strategies for the Treatment of Insomnia
Presented by
Angela Hywood N.D
Insomnia has become one of the most pervasive health problems facing people in industrialized countries. Approximately 1 in 3 people suffers some form of insomnia to varying degrees of severity and frequency. It is little wonder that sleep medications have emerged as one of the most common prescriptions written by doctors. These medications are habit forming and commonly have side effects such as fatigue and drowsiness the following day.
A recent U.S. Army study concluded that sleep deprivation and insomnia reduces emotional intelligence and constructive thinking skills, not to mention its effects in compounding daytime fatigue. Fatigue and insomnia are a vicious cycle leading to serious health risks such as hypertension, depression and obesity.
In this module, you will learn clinically reliable protocols for management of insomnia. This will help you enhance your clinical results in management of insomnia in men, women and children.
