Abstract

Integrative therapies have been used in treatment of sleep disorders though some of the evidence is lacking. This chapter will first briefly discuss what sleep is. Impact of sleep on daily life and discussion of reports of the number of sleep complaints will then be presented. The most common sleep disorder treated with integrative therapies, insomnia, will then be discussed in detail. Following the discussion on insomnia, different types of integrative therapies such as mind–body practices, herbal supplements, and manipulative practices will be presented along with supporting evidence of use. Finally, the chapter will move to sections on implications of the evidence and science for practice and directions for future research.
