This form of therapy includes visual or auditory feedback of e.g. EEG or EMG activity. This can help insomnia patients to control their physiological arousal. [4] [38]
Several reasons may explain why a simple checklist protocol is not more widely adapted: [15] Many physicians do not like being monitored by nurses or otherwise being forced to follow a checklist; A wish to avoid standardized tasks and bureaucracy; and; A focus by researchers on "more exciting" issues such as disease biology and new treatment ...
