Insomnia - how neurofeedback improves sleep quality without medication

The insomnia epidemic

According to research, up to 30% of adult Poles suffer from various forms of sleep disorders. Insomnia is not just difficulty falling asleep - it's also waking up multiple times at night, waking up too early, and sleep that doesn't bring regeneration.

Consequences of sleep deprivation

Chronic sleep deprivation leads to:

Impaired cognitive function - problems with memory, concentration, decision-making

Mood disorders - irritability, anxiety, depression

Weakened immunity - more frequent illnesses

Health problems - diabetes, obesity, heart disease

Lower productivity - mistakes at work, accidents

The problem with sleeping pills

Sleeping medications (benzodiazepines, "Z-drugs") can help acutely, but have serious drawbacks:

Addiction and tolerance

"Rebound effect" after discontinuation

Disturbed sleep profile (less deep sleep and REM)

Side effects: daytime drowsiness, memory disorders

They don't address the cause of the problem

How does neurofeedback treat insomnia?

Neurofeedback works on the source of the problem - abnormal brain activity that prevents healthy sleep.

### Mechanism of action:

1. **Reduction of excessive beta activity** - calming the "overactive" brain

2. **Strengthening theta and delta waves** - improving ability to relax and deep sleep

3. **Normalizing circadian rhythm** - synchronizing the internal biological clock

4. **Anxiety reduction** - calmer mind before sleep

Scientific research results

Meta-analyses of studies show:

70-80% of patients report improved sleep quality

Shortened time to fall asleep by an average of 30-50%

Reduced number of awakenings at night

Improved sleep quality - more deep sleep and REM

Effects persist after therapy ends

Neurofeedback protocols for insomnia

At Biosync we use proven protocols:

SMR training (12-15 Hz) - improving sleep quality

Alpha-theta training - deep relaxation before sleep

Z-score neurofeedback - comprehensive normalization

How many sessions are needed?

Typical insomnia treatment program:

15-25 sessions of basic cycle

2 sessions weekly for 2-3 months

First effects after 5-8 sessions

Lasting effects after completing full cycle

People with **chronic insomnia** (lasting more than 3 months)

Patients **addicted to sleeping pills** wanting to discontinue

People with **anxiety insomnia** (difficulty falling asleep due to thoughts)

Shift workers or those with jet-lag

Seniors with sleep disorders

Comprehensive approach

For best results we combine neurofeedback with:

Sleep hygiene - practical tips on sleep habits

Relaxation techniques - exercises to use at home

Breathing biofeedback - nervous system control before sleep
