  • Have we all thought that we could sleep better? Can we solve sleep? Dr. Vyga Kaufmann discusses just what sleep disorders are and what tools you have to sleep better tonight. Hint: no square screens anywhere near your bed.
    When Vyga Kaufmann, PhD thinks about a night of quality sleep she envisions Ivan Pavlov comfortably reclined in a freight train gliding down a mountain under a moonlit sky. As a clinical psychologist with 20 years of professional experience in mental health care and a relentless curiosity about how and why we sleep she has applied her expertise to promoting awareness about the ways that seemingly benign behaviors can impact overall quality of sleep. Kaufmann is a founding partner of Summit Behavioral Sleep Medicine, part-time instructor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU Boulder, hiker of Mt. Sanitas, and mother of an energetic and inquisitive 4-year old daughter.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    This lady is brilliant. And I love that quote It is more important to know the person has a disease than a disease a person has. I probably couldn’t agree with that statement more

    I'm 62 and only starting having trouble after having to sleep on air mattresses. After completing college, I've had to move all over the country while seeking employment. The air mattresses almost ruined my back, but the anxiety and depression kicked in after being unable to find a job. (My son also lost his part-time job so it has been a struggle for two years.) Check your mattress....I need firmer support! Exercise weekly, see a therapist if necessary and stay engaged with other people. A warm shower and chamomile tea before bed helps too, but call it a night by 11:00 pm. Tip: Swimming is a great tonic for sleep disorders.

    Meditating is also great way to help get a better sleep! 😀 Meditating will:
    - increase melatonin (the sleep hormone)
    - increase serotonin (precursor of melatonin)
    - reduce heart rate
    - decrease blood pressure
    - activate parts of the brain that control sleep

    This is the same tired advice we've heard in every article written about sleep. And no, CBT-I should not be the first line of defense with insomnia. It should be trying to evaluate the physical reasons in the body that is preventing you from sleeping well.

      It depends on the person and why they can't sleep. If someone is keeping themselves up worrying then obviously therapy can help. Or if they have poor sleep hygiene. If they are doing everything right and can't sleep then it's likely physical.

    Doctors don't have much to offer - we know that drugs impair sleep quality and often don't work. In the UK CBT is advocated as first line treatment - but it is expensive and we don't have enough practitioners. Online CBT may help. And as one of the comments points out, it may only be a solution for anxiety linked insomnia. We are working on prompting the brain to follow good sleep patterns by using extremely low power electrical prompts - Zeez Sleep Pebble. Please check us out. Especially researchers.

    The Dreem2 is a sleep helmet that is designed to prolong and consolidate deep sleep. It also has built in CBT programs. It's not cheap, (€400) but it is a personal sleep lab. 5xEEG as good as a sleep lab and the sleep stage monitoring is 83% accurate as compared to 86% for an expert human. I own one, no other affiliation.
    Failing that, you could do a lot of exercise, that will make you tired at the end of the day. No amount of coffee will keep you awake at that point. I do that too.

Once that I told the doctor I wasn't interested in prescriptions he basically told me he couldn't help me.

    Absolutely useless. CBT does appear somewhat effective for anxiety, which could help a bit with insomnia. It could also potentially treat sleep anxiety (i.e. anxiety about insomnia). However, why would this be sufficient? What about people who are resistant to placebo? What about cost? Isn't this rather condescending and dismissive?
    I'm a big fan of drugs. However, the common sleep drugs impair sleep quality. I'm currently interested in hydroxyzine 100-200mg per night, as it should improve sleep quality. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to soon. It is an unscheduled legend drug and an antihistamine, so I imagine it's not hard to get upon request.
