Sleep Restoration
About this ebook
The book highlights the neurobiological impact of substance use on sleep architecture, revealing how addictive substances interfere with natural sleep processes, creating a cycle of dependence and insomnia.
A key insight is that chronic sleep deprivation can exacerbate addiction and increase the likelihood of relapse.
The book's approach is to integrate sleep science with evidence-based strategies for addiction recovery, emphasizing personalized interventions tailored to individual needs.
It explores the effects of specific substances on sleep and introduces tools for assessing sleep quality, such as polysomnography.
From there, it examines behavioral and pharmacological interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and sleep hygiene techniques.
The book progresses logically, beginning with the science of sleep and its disruption by addiction.
It then moves into intervention strategies and culminates in a holistic addiction recovery plan.
Ultimately, Sleep Restoration offers practical tools and resources, such as sleep diaries and relaxation exercises, to help individuals create a sleep-conducive environment and improve their chances of long-term sobriety and overall well-being.
