The
Neuroscience
of Quality Sleep
Your Brain Controls Your Sleep... A Healthy Brain = Quality Sleep
Taking 30 min. or more to fall asleep, restless sleep, and waking without energy can be signs of brain dysfunction.
Consistently needing too much sleep (more than 8 hours) is a sign of an underlying sleep cycle issue.
Rarely dreaming, sleep talking, or nightmares are typically associated with abnormal sleep brainwaves.
An EEG brain map can objectively identify the brainwave dysfunction causing sleep issues.



"We have 8+ years of referrals resulting in significant improvements from neurofeedback training at the Brain Performance Center. Quality sleep is one of the first improvements typically reported".

Enhancing sleep quality and memory in insomnia using instrumental sensorimotor rhythm conditioning
Objective as well as subjective sleep and life quality improved following neurofeedback training. The number of awakenings decreased and slow-wave sleep as well as subjective sleep quality increased. Additionally, neurofeedback training was found to be associated with overnight memory consolidation and sleep spindle changes indicating a beneficial cognitive effect.

Neuroflexibilty and sleep onset insomnia among college students
"This study provides a degree of empirical support for interventions designed to enhance neuroflexibility in the treatment of some people with sleep onset insomnia".
