Sleep & Fatigue
Sleep duration alone is not enough to capture its quality. Sleep can be disrupted or non-restorative, even when its duration seems adequate. When sleep difficulties persist, they can affect mental clarity, concentration, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.
Sleep difficulties & fatigue can manifest as:
-
Difficulty falling asleep
-
Frequent awakenings or early awakening
-
Feeling of unrefreshing sleep, despite adequate duration
-
Difficulty waking up in the morning
-
Drowsiness or persistent fatigue during the day
-
Reduced mental clarity or difficulty concentrating & remembering
-
Irritability or mood swings
Persistent sleep difficulties & fatigue can be linked to different psychological, medical or environmental factors. For this reason, their investigation is not limited to brain function.
The contribution of qEEG Brain Mapping & EEG Neurofeedback
qEEG Brain Mapping is not a sleep study & does not diagnose sleep disorders. It records & analyzes the electrical activity of the brain in a state of wakefulness, providing data on its function, which is taken into account with the history & overall picture of the individual.
During EEG Neurofeedback, the brain receives real-time visual & auditory feedback, which changes according to its electrical activity. In this application, training can focus on regulating alertness & making the transition from activation to relaxation easier.
The program is individually designed, based on qEEG Brain Mapping data. EEG Neurofeedback can be integrated into a broader framework of care & does not replace medical investigation or appropriate therapeutic intervention.
With the aim of:
-
Enhance the ability to transition from alertness to relaxation
-
Better management of mental & physical tension before sleep
-
Supporting a more stable & restorative sleep
-
Limiting the impact of fatigue on concentration & daily functionality
