Intervention for Insomnia
%X Increasing scientific evidence point to a non-pharmacological
complementary treatment for insomnia: white noise. Its presentation
has been shown to induce sleep in human neonates and adults,
probably by reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of ambient sound.
White noise may be a simple, safe, cost-effective alternative to
hypnotic medication in many psychiatric disorders, especially acute
stress disorder and PTSD.
