Why is it working? Psychologists call it conditioning. Conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the school of thought in psychology known as behaviourism. Wrong conditioning is a major problem that occurs in chronic insomnia. If you repeatedly toss and turn in your bed for hours on end, your body will eventually learn to associate your bed with stress and being awake. As a result, your bedroom will actually cause you to stay awake. The points above are trying to address this problem and to re-teach your body to associate your bed with healthy sleep.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that it takes time and effort to make it work. Like any other form of learning. However, if this is not sufficient a combination therapy might be the right thing for you. This could include sleep hygiene, relaxation techniques, sleep restriction therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and medication.<\/p>\n
