I have been asked by a friend if I could help his partner, resolve her sleep problems. The lady concerned displays various night time rituals, waking at various times, spending to much time closing doors and playing with doors in general (only after first having gone to bed), over stimulation of thoughts, a habit of straightening the bed covers and finally the lady concerned always wears thick pyjamas and t-shirt and socks even in the middle of summer.

As far as I am aware she believes the problems started when she was at University, due to extremem stress and anxiety to do well in her degree. Any input or treatment packages, techniques would be very much appreciated. I have never had to help somebody with a sleep problem and have little informaton on doing so.

Yours sincerely
