Lifehacker AU

digitalalarmIf herbs don’t work to cure your insomnia and you can’t convince yourself to get up and work, your PC might be the next best solution to sleeplessness. (No, we’re not talking about in-depth financial news reporting.)

BBC News Magazine looks into a growing trend to offer psychiatric counselling to help cure insomnia via online courses, rather than through traditional face-to-face therapy. The good news is that it seems to work. The bad news is that such resources are rarely free, though for people suffering chronic sleep loss, that’s unlikely to be a major barrier.
