Sleep Retraining Therapy (SRT) is a behavioural therapy under development based on orofacial myofunctional therapy.

The philosophy of SRT is to 1: formulate realistic aims for future outcomes that can be measured and 2: to receive biofeedback on the aim (s) defined.

Here, you can find references relevant for SRT:

• SRT for insomnia (SRTi)
  • The philosophy of SRTi is to focus on oral muscle exercises in order to defocus on the situation of being awake in bed. The mechanism of SRTi may be independent or it may be a potentiation of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi). For further information about online CBTi and SRT, read the book written by dr. Hrubos-Strøm:

      • Sensing tongue position
• SRT for sleep disordered breathing (SRTb)
  • The theory of SRTb is to use increased awareness of the relations between sensory signals and the feeling of wellbeing or discomfort as «cues» for muscle exercises. Such exercises have two primary aims: 1: To increase muscle responsiveness in the tounge and pharynx and to 2: Breathe more through the nose.

Out of the sheets that covers me
Black is the night from pole to pole
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
