Studies show at least 30 per cent of Britons are struck by an acute attack of insomnia (defined as one which lasts for anything from two weeks to three months) every year, and chronic insomnia (when poor sleep endures for more than three months at a time) blights as many as 10-15 per cent. And the numbers are rising as our stress levels bubble ever higher.

Insomnia affects twice as many women as men and your vulnerability increases with age, peaking at 60.
Insomnia is not just crippling, making normal daily functioning seem almost impossible; it can, in the long term, seriously affect your health, increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, obesity and even certain cancers.
But the existence of so many long-term sufferers underlines the bitter truth that most people don’t know where to go for help, and even many healthcare professionals don’t know what to do about sleeplessness.
I consider myself to be very lucky that my personal experiences with insomnia have only ever been short-term, but at times they have been excruciating and I have huge sympathy for those who suffer.
This, along with my frustration at the paltry selection of solutions on offer, has driven me to make the study of sleep problems my life’s work.
As part of my university psychology degree, I elected to spend a year in the sleep disorder clinic at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, working with people from all over the country whose lives had been blighted by insomnia.
We were able to help many with neurological or biological problems such as sleep apnoea (a form of snoring where you momentarily stop breathing at intervals through the night) or narcolepsy (where people suddenly fall asleep during the day for no apparent reason).
However, even though the unit is a highly qualified centre of excellence, it had nothing to offer people with chronic insomnia.
We had no option but to send them back to their GP, who could merely prescribe a short-term course of sleeping tablets or offer them leaflets about improving what’s called sleep hygiene (tricks such as keeping your bedroom dark and quiet).
The problem is GPs generally feel ill-equipped to deal with insomnia due to a lack of specific training. Proper clinical services for people with insomnia are also extremely few and far between.
Those 12 months at St Thomas’ marked the start of my 18 years of scientific investigation into sleep and my quest to bring techniques that really do help the people who need it most. I am now director of the Northumbria Centre for Sleep Research and one of very few university professors in the UK with a specialism in sleep.

Over recent years I’ve been at the cutting edge of research into all aspects of sleep and insomnia, specialising in the prevention of sleep disorders and the treatment of insomnia in both its acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) phases.
Much of my work has focused on understanding and refining the science of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which is a powerful series of exercises that can help treat insomnia without medication. It teaches people to use techniques that address the ‘cognitive factors’ (the thought processes) and ‘behavioural factors’ (such as snoozing on the sofa) associated with their sleep problem.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A former sports doctor at Michigan State University is accused of destroying possible evidence in the months before he was charged with possessing child pornography.

The charge was added Tuesday to Larry Nassar's indictment in federal court in western Michigan.Nassar had a clinic at Michigan State until late summer and is a former volunteer doctor with USA Gymnastics. Besides the child porn case, he's charged in state court with assaulting a girl at his Lansing-area home.Separately, he's facing civil lawsuits from more than two dozen former athletes who say they were assaulted during treatments. Nassar has denied the allegations.In the latest development, authorities allege that Nassar in September had all files destroyed on a laptop computer. He was charged in the child porn case in mid-December. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday on charges that he provided support to the Islamic State group by helping two followers with an attempted attack on an anti-Islam event in Texas that resulted in a deadly shootout with police.
Prosecutors were seeking a 50-year sentence for Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, an American-born Muslim convert who became the second person in the US to be convicted of charges of supporting Islamic State.
He was convicted of conspiring to support a foreign terrorist organization, interstate transportation of firearms and other charges.
His friends, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, were the only ones killed in a May 2015 police shootout outside a Prophet Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas.
A security guard was wounded, but no one else was injured. The contest featured cartoons that are offensive to Muslims.
Authorities have said Kareem watched videos depicting violence by jihadists with the two friends, encouraged them to launch violent attack to support the terrorist group and researched travel to the Middle East to join Islamic State fighters.

There are all kinds of reasons you might want to minimize the power draw of your laptop or desktop. To save battery, of course, but also to keep your electricity bills lower and reduce your impact on the planet. Here are all the ways you can knock down the amount of power your computer is drawing.To begin with have the display switching off and the computer going into standby as early as possible, then select Additional power settings for a load more options: either click Change plan settings next to an existing plan or select Create a power plan to set up a new one.Via Change advanced power settings you can tweak everything from when the hard drive winds down to the power draw of your USB devices. You might need to do some quick web searching to understand some of the entries here, but to take the Processor power management section as an example, the Maximum processor state lets you dial down how hard your CPU can push itself (and thus how much power it draws). You can even set different options based on whether your laptop is plugged in or running off battery power.

A slower CPU is a less power-hungry one—you might not get the power savings that make the slowdown worthwhile, but the option is there if you want to try it.Then there’s the Battery saver option, just above Power & sleep on the System screen, unless you’re on a desktop PC. It can be activated at any time with a click on the battery icon in the notification area, but if you go through the Settings app, you can have it enable itself automatically, and make sure the screen is dimmed and (universal app) notifications are switched off. Over on the Apple side of the fence, the options for reducing power usage are very similar, although of course the menus and settings look a little bit different. If you want to know which programs are using up energy on macOS, launch the Activity Monitor app from the Utilities folder then switch to the Energy tab.To find the bulk of the relevant settings, open System Preferences from the Apple menu, then choose Energy Saver. The next screen gives you a choice of options, and if you’re on a MacBook or MacBook Pro then you’ll get a separate set of settings that are applied when you’re running on battery power.

For the lowest power draw, you want to be turning the display off as quickly as possible, turning the hard disks off, dimming the display while on battery power, and disabling Wake for Wi-Fi and Power Nap. You should also allow the computer to sleep automatically when the power is off. In the lower right-hand corner you’ll notice a Schedule button that lets you put your Mac in sleep mode if you’re not at your desk, but in terms of power saving the best option is simply to have the sleep mode kick in whenever your computer is idle.If you’re on a MacBook Pro with discrete graphics installed, you’ll an see an option labelled Automatic graphics switching too. Make sure this is enabled, and the laptop will fall back on the less power-hungry internal graphics chip when it cam.One smaller tweak for MacBooks is to turn the backlit keyboard off. You might not save much energy but it will make a difference in darkened spaces. Use the F5 key to reduce the light level to zero, or change the timeout in the Keyboard section of System Preferences.
