Magnetic pulses promise cure for insomniacs draft 2

Recently the researchers stated that using electronic device to induce slow waves in the patients can help them to gain the full restorative powers of an eight-hour period of sleep.

Chronic insomnia may be caused by a failure to produce slow-wave activity in the brains of patients. This disease might be cured by magnetic pulses. Sleep is formed by two types. One is slow-wave activity which happened in deep sleeping, the other is fast eye movements which happened in dreaming while sleep.

The former type composes 80% of sleeping hours is very important for sleeping of good quality. Scientists of psychiatry department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison have invented an electronic device which can produce harmless magnetic pulses. By testing this device on sleeping volunteers, magnetic pulses produced by it can stimulate the brain to generate slow waves that just like what happened in deep sleeps.

This would be a good news for people suffered from insomiacs if that device can be used in clinic in the future.
