In a recent research project conducted at the SLCVA Medical center that addressed people with sleep problems, it was found that Mind-Body Bridging techniques were very effective. All the participants were placed in two groups. One group was taught Mind-Body Bridging techniques by and Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the other group was given Sleep Hygiene by a Board Certified Internist. The results using the MOS Sleep Scale showed a greater improvement in sleep post the treatments for those who used Mind-Body Bridging as compared to those who were treated in the conventional way for sleep problems.

This study and its results are to be submitted for publishing in the near future. This is great news for all who suffer from sleep problems as Mind-Body Bridging is a simple, drug free and yet a very effective method to induce sleep.

What was also discovered was that those who also suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder along with their sleep disorder showed remarkable improvement in their PTSD.

The following are four graphs that map the before and after results for sleep problems and for PTSD.
