Our target population is women since they are more prone to suffer sleep related disorders. Our research indicates that women suffer insomnia often after childbirth because they develop a high sensitivity to their children noises and wake-up several times throughout the night. Even after their offspring's are fully grown these mothers continue to be sensitive sleepers and for the most part never return to a normal sleep pattern.
