Contribution

It introduces a quantum physics-based method to treat sleep disorders by leveraging the Quantum Anti-Zeno effect to promote sleep state transitions.

Findings

Conceptual framework for quantum-inspired sleep therapy

Proposed practical steps for implementation

Potential for improved sleep disorder treatments

Abstract

It is proposed that for those sleep disorders of psychological origin which can be considered to be a Quantum Zeno Effect-type phenomenon of persistence in the waking state due to the inhibition of the transition to the Deep Sleep state, the treatment may very well lie in the application of the principle of accelerating the decay by the introduction of a third state which facilitates the transition as realized in the Quantum Anti-Zeno effect. Steps of practical therapeutic implementation of the program are delineated.
