"Get up - The Sleep Study in Oppegard"

Sleep Restriction Therapy focuses on forcing your available sleep time into a fixed window. The sleeper sets a bedtime and wake-up time and sticks to those times closely. The time allocated for being allowed in bed is determined from an estimate of how long the patient in average has been sleeping during the night, in the week before treatment. The goal is to have the patient sleeping the entire time he or she is in bed by making this period so restricted that the patient has no chance of sleeping enough. Once this goal is achieved, the time allocated for bed can be slowly increased, for example by 15 minutes at a time. After enough iterations, an equilibrium is achieved that the patient can keep maintaining after treatment has completed.
