Relaxation and Sleep.  Many people who have difficulty getting to sleep and or staying asleep have never learned to relax very deeply. For them, learning relaxation skills may alleviate their sleeplessness. Research suggests that the type of relaxation technique is less important than that it be well learned. However, there are some points to ponder:

1. Not all people with sleep disorders are tense, and those who are biologically relaxed but still cannot sleep, may not benefit directly from relaxation training. Nonetheless, learning relaxation skills will assist them in coping with day to day stress and this can help reduce the contribution of psychological factors to their sleeplessness.

2. The relaxation training program should be used at the time of sleep onset - at the time when conscious control is waning. It is also important to practice for more than a few hours. Research has shown that 5 to 30 sessions of concentrated relaxation training (20-30 minutes) may be necessary before your sleeping problem will start to improve.

3. Relaxation training helps all tense people, not just those with sleep-onset problems. Tense patients, especially older ones, may fall asleep easily in the evening from sheer exhaustion. Awakening naturally a few hours later, as all people do, they may then have difficulty returning to sleep and could use relaxation skills.

GETTING STARTED - a brief excerpt from the Course Manual.

The ideal way to use any biofeedback or relaxation program is to practice for 20-30 minutes per day for several days. In the beginning, do not practice too close to your usual retiring time. When you have achieved good control, experiencing deep relaxation during these practice sessions, you can then use the newly learned relaxation skills at bedtimes. Good times to practice are at the end of the working day, perhaps before dinner, or during lunch hour.

Initially, the GSR2 should be used with the relaxation exercise on CD 2. After several training sessions, you will learn which of the relaxation and breathing exercises works best to decrease the tone of your GSR2 device. At this point you can discontinue the tape, using the GSR2 alone.

Eventually, you will find that within 3-5 minutes you can produce a significant tonal decrease and experience a drowsy state. At this time, you should start to use the instrument at bedtime - perhaps initially with the relaxation CD's.
