Sleep Matters: Sleeping less to beat insomnia

Almost everyone has experienced insomnia at some point. But what do you do if you are unable to fall asleep, and stay asleep for a significant amount of time, for days on end or even weeks? Doctors say being unable to sleep properly more than three times a week, over a period of three months, could be a sign of chronic insomnia, a condition altogether different from the typical sleepless night. And one solution might actually be to sleep less. Dr Margaret Blattner from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center explains how we can re-learn how to get better sleep.
