Effects of progressive relaxation on sleep disturbance: an electroencephalographic evaluation.
Subjects with reported sleep-onset disturbance were given progressive relaxation training, placebo, or no-treatment. All three conditions showed significant improvement in daily reported sleep onset over the duration of the study. Between-condition effects were limited to relaxation superiority over no-treatment on Stage 1 sleep, and over placebo on postquestionnaire items and sleep-latency reports at 1-year follow-up.
