For those living in larger cities and surrounding suburbs, access to in-office neurofeedback clinics is just a matter of a short 15 minute drive. But what about those living in remote areas or small towns with no clinics available?

As soon as we start getting a handle on sleeping better, along comes some situation or circumstance that blows the doors off our ability to get restorative rest, again! When Ambien hit the market, everyone thought that “the insomnia cure” had finally arrived! The slick TV ads showed insanely sleep deprived people waking up in a state of nirvana. I want that! 30 days of free trial and I’m cured forever. Zzzzzzz…..
