I can't fall asleep
You lie in bed and your mind is racing. You finally fall asleep, only to wake up at 3 AM unable to drift off again. You drag yourself through the next day.
Insomnia is often the brain stuck in "overactive Beta" — a state of mental busyness that physically blocks the transition to sleep.
SMR neurofeedback is one of the most effective non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia, with effects that persist long after therapy ends.
Possible causes
🧠Brainwave
- Excess Beta activity at bedtime — the brain cannot "down-shift."
- Weak sleep spindles (SMR) — fragmented, light sleep.
❤️Autonomic
- Chronic stress — keeping cortisol high through the evening.
- Low parasympathetic tone — body cannot relax.
📱Behavioral
- Screen use before bed, irregular sleep schedule.
- Caffeine timing, alcohol, lack of morning daylight.
Important: QEEG identifies which brainwave pattern is keeping you awake — guiding a precise training protocol.
How we can help
We target the underlying brain and autonomic regulation, not just the surface symptoms.
SMR Neurofeedback
Strengthens the brain rhythm responsible for falling and staying asleep — the same pattern that produces sleep spindles.
HRV biofeedback
Activates the parasympathetic "rest and digest" system through slow breathing protocols — calming the body before bed.
