Getting restful sleep is vital for your health and well-being, but around 30–40% of adults now report difficulty sleeping—nearly four times the pre-pandemic rate of 8.5%. Sleep disturbances such as insomnia, frequent waking, breathing disruptions, vivid dreams, and nightmares have become more common and often persist for weeks or even months.

 

Certain groups have been especially affected, including:

• Individuals recovering from COVID-19 (52%)

• Children and adolescents (45%)

• Healthcare professionals (42%)

 

Young adults (ages 18–29) and women also report higher sleep disruption, with 40% of young adults and 36% of women affected—compared to 28% of men. Chronic or short-term sleep problems can worsen mood, focus, energy, and overall resilience.

 

How Neurofeedback Can Help

 

Neurofeedback supports more consistent sleep by helping the brain regulate the rhythms that control rest and wakefulness. By adjusting specific brainwave activity linked to sleep and arousal, this non-invasive approach helps improve your body’s ability to achieve deep, uninterrupted sleep.

 

Research shows that neurofeedback can:

• Normalize disrupted sleep cycles

• Reduce nighttime awakenings

• Improve emotional balance that supports relaxation

 

Unlike medication, neurofeedback carries few side effects, with the most common being a temporary feeling of tiredness after a session.
