A pilot study of paradoxical intention for insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new approach called 'paradoxical intention' for treating insomnia. Instead of trying to force sleep, you will learn to stay awake, which may reduce the anxiety that makes it hard to fall asleep. The trial aims to see if this method works and how people experience it.
