Time Monitoring & Insomnia Research

Published in Primary Care Companion of CNS Disorders

Our research team just published a new paper on the impact of time monitoring behavior on chronic insomniacs’ decisions about the use of prescription and OTC sleep aids. The full paper is available at the link.

We’ve worked on this topic for years, and our lead author Dr. Spencer Dawson completed the analyses to lead the way in the project. Several news outlets are reporting on this paper here, here, and here.

In all of my past books as well as my new work, Life Saving Sleep, practical steps for dealing with time monitoring behavior are a staple of insomnia treatment, because upwards of 80% of chronic insomniacs are clock watchers. Cell phone use has magnified the problem.
