Academic sleep experts research the life-altering impact of insomnia and we work with people whose lives are blighted by a debilitating inability to sleep. In our field, dream research sits right on the very edge of the furthest periphery. It’s not something we tend to talk about. Until now. Early last year I completed a research study which surprised me so much, I was initially reluctant to put the results forward for publication. I was genuinely concerned that I would be ridiculed for stepping too far away from measurable science, into the land of mystical ‘woo-woo’.
But the results were undeniable: the study showed that teaching people with insomnia to control their dreams really can improve sleep. In fact, the process took the majority of the study participants out of the insomnia bracket completely.
