This Insomnia Treatment Does The Exact Opposite Of Getting Asleep    

The Patient Eliminates The Anxiety To Get Asleep, Trying To Stay Awake    

Insomnia is defined as the inability or difficulty to sleep. There is an insomnia treatment that consists of doing exactly the opposite. Instead of staying in bed, anxiously forcing to get asleep, the patient must stay awake as much as possible, until he falls asleep. It is a treatment based on reverse psychology, called paradoxical Intention. It does not oppose the anxious intention (of trying to force to sleep) but guides it in the opposite direction (toward forcing to stay awake). Click here for more info.
