They 'prescribe' sleep hygiene and aim to progressively reduce sleep/rest and increase activity based on their prescription. It sounds just like GET, although they call it 'progressive pacing' instead. The language used is more fitting for a psychological/behavioural illness based on prolonged illness beliefs, rather than a biological condition. In case of doubt, this service even runs under CAMHS
We are a multi-disciplinary team offering individualised evidence based treatment packages incorporating Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Graded Exercise Therapy, Sleep Hygiene and Activity Management and work generically on a one-to-one basis with patients and their families. We have diverse professional backgrounds including Paediatrics, Clinical Psychology, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Social Work.
