Insomnia

The Problem - are you:

  • Having chronic problems getting to sleep (sleep onset insomnia)?
  • Unable to sleep through the night?
  • Waking too early?
  • Overly depending on sleeping pills?
  • Looking  for an insomnia cure?

One in three adults identify their insomnia as excessive and they do not know how to solve their sleep problems. One in ten identify it as a serious problem. Women are 11/2 times more likely to experience it, and it gets even more common as we age.

Insomnia is the inability to get an adequate amount of healthy sleep. It affects each individual differently, but it invariably results in complaints of daytime fatigue and compromised daytime functioning. It can also result in mood disturbances and even physical illness.

I have been dealing with sleep problems for about 30 of my 43 years. Getting to sleep was difficult and often impossible until I was exhaused. This definately affected my life negatively. Your advice and coaching got me back on track within a few weeks. I now sleep a regular 7 -8 hours per night. I can't explain how it changed my outlook, energy, and mood. I will recommend you to everyone I know who sufers from sleep disorders. Tom W., Berthoud, Colorado.

The Cause

    Anyone who has ever asked the question, "Why can't I sleep?" knows that it's often asked in a tone of frustration and even despair.

    It's a question for which there is no single answer. Usually several different factors combine to cause chronic insomnia. Some of us are more susceptible to it than others. Some of us actually develop habits that worsen our sleep over a period of time. Occasionally, chronic insomnia cannot be traced to any specific causes.

    Thankfully, however, that doesn't prevent you from being successfully treated.

    Having knowledgable support through the process of letting go of my dependence on sleeping pills made all the difference. I felt you prepared me well to make the leap and I felt secure in doing so. I am sleeping well, waking refreshed, and positively thrilled to be doing that without dependence on a drug. I wish I had discovered you years ago.  Pat N., Fort Collins, Colorado

One Solution

    Often the treatment suggested is simply sleeping pills. This works for some but more and more people are questioning the wisdom of relying on sleeping pills every night. For others they seem to loose their effectiveness or are too expensive. 

A Better Solution

As an alternative, Northern Colorado Sleep Consultants uses established drug-free methods shown in two major studies funded by the the government's National Institutes of Health to be as effective as the temporary relief provided by sleeping pills yet more permanent. For example, this treatment was shown to increase the average total sleep from 5 hours per night before treatment to almost 7 hours by the end of treatment. Additionally, nearly all people reduced their sleeping pill use with nearly half stopping their use entirely.

We also use newer, more advanced techniques often not found elsewhere. These have been found to supplement the more commonly used methods and are especially effective for certain types of insomnia.

By working one-on-one with a sleep expert, your treatment is specifically designed to meet your individual needs. During several sessions typically over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, you can learn to get healthy sleep again with this natural sleep remedy. Improvement begins in the first few weeks and can provide a cure for insomnia that lasts a lifetime.

If your insomnia is traced to medications, or their side-effects, prescribed by your doctor for other illnesses, we work with your physician to modify your medication regimen to improve your sleep. If your problem is a dependency on sleeping pills, these methods can show you how to stop taking insomnia medication. If there may be a sleep disorder (like sleep apnea, restless legs, or other problems), we will help you get it properly diagnosed and treated. If your insomnia is related to depression, anxiety, pregnancy, or menopause our sleep doctor can provide help.

I learned a series of steps and methods that allow me to feel that I am in control, able to prepare myself for relaxation and sleep. Even if I awaken during the night, I can reach into my mental list and find something to help me focus on getting back to sleep rather than worry about how I will function the next day. The quality of my sleep improved 100%. What I've learned from Dr. Moorcroft are life skills that will serve me all my days ans will continnue to improve my sleep. Stephanie A., Fort Collins, Colorado
