Ask Daniel #34: How Does Sleep Restriction Work?

Alex has started getting better sleep quality after spending less time in bed, is this the way to go? Haris wonders if he will always have trouble sleeping after the trauma of insomnia. Lea asks how a certain EEG strip can be classified as wakefulness. Rebecca is never feeling sleepy, never yawns, what's going on? Mirtazapine has worked wonders for Navinder, but what will happen when he stops taking it? Hayley is obsessed with sleep, how can she change that? Malena is sleeping longer but feeling more tired, is there a problem with her quality of sleep? Paul is confident bedtime restriction is the way to do, but how does it really work?
