Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have developed a unique Internet-based intervention, based on well-established face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, that has shown remarkable results in improving patients’ sleep.

Hi "Marvel" I agree that any person who is experiencing insomnia should discuss this with their doctor to consider all treatment options. Medication is one approach among many. This blog is about technology and occupational therapy, not a place to advertise drugs. I'm not sure who you are as your profile is not available, so I am removing your comment.

Thanks, Anita.
