Sleep Restriction Therapy - I Can't Mess About Anymore

Sleep restriction therapy builds up such a pressure, such a demand, that the efficiency now is incredible. So it sounds very paradoxical that you tell me i don't get enough sleep, and i say, i'm going to try and have you sleep less. But by doing that, you create this hunger, this demand for sleep. And your brain starts to become much more efficient,. Your brain re learns the capacity for continuous sleep throughout the night. Once we feel comfortable with your brain's return of its true, what was always present, ability to sleep soundly without waking up and staying awake, we gradually back out.
