Futurehealth WinterBrain 20 minute presentation by Edward O'Malley. This presentation will provide the non-sleep specialist neurofeedback provider with an overview of the tools and techniques necessary to recognize, assess and manage a variety of sleep complaints with which clients typically present.

One rationale for alleviating sleep disturbance in this population is that left unmanaged poor sleep will undermine the effectiveness of neurofeedback training.

Also presented will be a summary of the current thinking in management of Insomnia today based on the recent NIH State of the Science statement, June 2005.

-What is the connection between sleep and neurofeedback training?
-Is there a relationship between adequate sleep and neurofeedback efficacy?
-How does one manage the myriad complaints and presentations that accompany sleep disturbance, and know when to refer out?
-Are there techniques, other than or in addition to neurofeedback, that actually work?
-What is the State of the Science of Insomnia, according to the NIH?
