Anyone who has ever asked the question, "Why can't I sleep?" knows that it's often asked in a tone of frustration and even despair.
It's a question for which there is no single answer. Usually several different factors combine to cause chronic insomnia. Some of us are more susceptible to it than others. Some of us actually develop thoughts and habits that worsen our sleep over a period of time. Occasionally, however, chronic insomnia cannot be traced to any specific causes.
Thankfully, however, none of this prevents you from being successfully treated.
Having knowledgable support through the process of letting go of my dependence on sleeping pills made all the difference. I felt you prepared me well to make the leap and I felt secure in doing so. I am sleeping well, waking refreshed, and positively thrilled to be doing that without dependence on a drug. I wish I had discovered you years ago. Pat N., Fort Collins, Colorado
As an alternative, Northern Colorado Sleep Consultants uses established drug-free methods shown in a major review of research funded by the the government's National Institutes of Health to be as effective as the temporary, symptom relief provided by sleeping pills yet much more permanent. For example, this treatment was shown to increase the average total sleep from 5 hours per night before treatment to almost 7 hours by the end of treatment. Additionally, nearly all people reduced their sleeping pill use with nearly half stopping their use entirely.
We also use newer, more advanced techniques often not found elsewhere. These have been found to supplement the more commonly used methods and are especially effective for certain types of insomnia.
By working one-on-one with a sleep expert, your treatment is specifically designed to meet your individual needs. During several sessions typically over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, you can learn to get healthy sleep again with this natural sleep remedy. Improvement begins in the first few weeks and can provide a cure for insomnia that lasts a lifetime.
If your insomnia is traced to medications, or their side-effects, prescribed by your doctor for other illnesses, we work with your physician to modify your medication regimen to improve your sleep. If your problem is a dependency on sleeping pills, these methods can show you how to stop taking insomnia medication. If there may be a sleep disorder (like sleep apnea, restless legs, or other problems), we will help you get it properly diagnosed and treated. If your insomnia is primarily related to depression, anxiety, pregnancy, or menopause our sleep doctor can get you help.
I learned a series of steps and methods that allow me to feel that I am in control, able to prepare myself for relaxation and sleep. Even if I awaken during the night, I can reach into my mental list and find something to help me focus on getting back to sleep rather than worry about how I will function the next day. The quality of my sleep improved 100%. What I've learned from Dr. Moorcroft are life skills that will serve me all my days ans will continnue to improve my sleep. Stephanie A., Fort Collins, Colorado
