Detailed Description:
Insomnia is a common health complaint that is associated with discomfort, loss of productivity, poor health and higher use of healthcare. The use of non-pharmacologic treatments for insomnia has gained much attention in recent years. The investigators are conducting this research because a safe, non-pharmacologic treatment would benefit patients with insomnia, and to see if the Bioboosti device is an effective treatment for insomnia.
Subjects will include patients from the clinics who have the diagnosis of insomnia. Study staff will notify the treating physician of a potential subject. If the subject gives permission and would like to obtain more information, study staff will approach them and provide them with the consent form to review. Study staff may also contact them by phone to explain the study and recruit.
