Chronic Insomnia Q & A

What is chronic insomnia?

Chronic insomnia is more than just the occasional restless night. It’s defined as trouble falling or staying asleep at least three nights per week for three months or longer. Left untreated, insomnia can impact memory, mood, focus, and overall quality of life.

At Braincare Performance Center in Cardiff, CA, we look beyond symptoms to identify the underlying brainwave imbalances contributing to your sleep issues—then offer a personalized treatment path to reset your system naturally

Common symptoms of chronic insomnia:

Constant fatigue or daytime sleepiness
Difficulty focusing or remembering
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Slow reaction times
Decreased performance at work, school, or social settings

Over time, chronic insomnia can trigger a downward spiral in mental and physical health. That’s why early, effective intervention is key.

How can MeRT help chronic insomnia?

MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is a cutting-edge, drug-free treatment that reorganizes and restores healthy brainwave patterns. By using gentle magnetic pulses, MeRT stimulates specific areas of the brain that may be underperforming or misfiring due to stress, trauma, or sleep deprivation.

Benefits of MeRT for insomnia include:

Improved ability to fall and stay asleep
More restorative, deep sleep cycles
Enhanced mood, focus, and daytime energy
Non-invasive, painless sessions
Personalized therapy based on your unique brainwave data

Most patients begin noticing better sleep within the first few weeks of care.

Is MeRT safe?

Yes. MeRT uses FDA-cleared equipment for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder and OCD and is used off-label to treat insomnia, PTSD, anxiety, and brain injuries. It’s completely non-invasive, gentle, and well-tolerated—with no medications or sedation required.

What does MeRT treatment look like?

qEEG Brainwave Recording

Your journey starts with a quantitative EEG (qEEG) and ECG (electrocardiogram) to map your brain’s electrical activity and brain-heart connection. From there, we create a fully customized treatment plan tailored to your sleep needs.

Initial Assessment Phase (2 weeks)

Week 1: Daily sessions (Mon–Fri), 30–35 minutes Week 2: Daily sessions (Mon–Fri) with a repeat EEG on Friday to track progress

Ongoing Care (+ 2-4 weeks)

If we observe improvements in your sleep quality and brain function, we’ll recommend additional two-week cycles. Most patients see optimal results within six weeks.

Take the first step toward
restful sleep.
