This means they are immune to the feeling of warmth and
relaxation which sends an average person off to sleep within 15 minutes.
Their genes are designed instead to maintain a state of
mental alertness.
This makes normal, prolonged sleep impossible so they
sleep fitfully, in only short bursts.
Even then, their lack of ‘comfort’ genes may mean they
struggle to get comfortable, fussing about the bedding or finding their
sleeping position.
There are other so-called insomnia genes — some cause
repeated periods of wakefulness in the small hours of the night or at the
slightest disturbance, or drive an affected person to leap out of bed raring to
start the day at 4am, but leave them exhausted by 4pm.
Until recently, insomnia was considered a purely
psychological complaint triggered by stress, grief, or sleep disruption as a
result of shift work or jet lag.
But doctors are now unravelling the genetic explanation
of why at least one-third of us have intermittent or constant sleep problems.
The Bowen Technique is a natural,
drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can help stress and
sleeping problems.
Rather than 'making' the
body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment and make the
changes it requires.
During the 30-60 minute
treatment, the Bowen practitioner makes
small, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at
precise points on the body, using only the amount of pressure appropriate for
that individual.
No hard-tissue manipulation or
force is needed or used.
Between each set of moves,
the body is allowed to rest for a few minutes, to allow it to absorb the information
it has received and initiate the healing process.
Bowen is known for its
soothing qualities for physical complaints; however it is an extremely relaxing
experience that can have many emotional benefits too.
One client said: “I
heartily recommend the Bowen Technique to anyone who wants to remember how it
feels to wake up refreshed; looking forward to the new day knowing you can deal
with whatever it may bring.
I am now feeling much better, fitter
and younger than pre-treatment. Thank you for revitalising me!”
