Quantum Anti-Zeno Treatment of Zeno-type Sleep Disorders

General Physics 2011-11-23 v1

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.
