Le brassage cognitif tente d’imiter les schémas de pensée qui habitent le cerveau des bons dormeurs au moment de l’endormissement. Une piste pour contourner les difficultés à trouver le sommeil ?

Links have been made between the community of bacteria in your gut and depression, pain, stress and sleep. So what does the science say?
Throughout history there have been numerous accounts of segmented sleep, from medical texts, to court records and diaries.
There are many factors that contribute to us falling asleep unexpectedly, in inappropriate places, or even when we really don’t want to.
