“…Acupressure belongs to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as component of alternative treatments [15]. It was defined as a technique which applies pressure on acupoints on human body by using finger, palms or other devices to balance the vital energy flows called Qi through meridians [7,16,17].

The symptom of insomnia is one of the most common complaints among the elderly during their aging process. It is defined as the subjective reported insufficient quality or quantity of sleep despite adequate sleeping conditions. The prevalence of insomnia could reach 40%-50% among the elderly and significantly affect their quality of life. This paper aims to conduct systematic review on previous studies to evaluate the effectiveness and summarize the treatment characteristics of acupressure. Limitations and recommendation were provided as future directions of therapeutic garments development for the elderly. This new concept of acupressure therapeutic garment could help to identify the future development directions of therapeutic function garments and provide promising methods to improve the insomnia and life quality of the elderly.

“…Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is known to have a significant impact on insomnia experienced due to anxiety (Belanger, Morin, Langlois, & Ladouceur, 2004) but there are small findings showing that CBT has a significant impact aimed directly on sleep disturbance. It is known that there are several treatments able to help individuals have a better quality of sleep or decrease a primary insomnia symptom, such as: CBT, mindfulness, progressive relaxation, hypnosis, acupressure and pharmacologic treatment (Valente, 2015). CBT is used mainly to treat primary insomnia, but study found CBT to be only effective on anxiety but a small number of studies have shown the effectiveness of CBT toward sleep (Belleville, Cousineau, Levrier, & St-Pierre-Delorme, 2011).…”

Primary insomnia is a mental health problem that is often reported due to the combination of either difficulty in falling asleep or maintaining sleep. It is known that people with primary insomnia experience an increased arousal of physiological, cognitive or emotional process, combined with negative conditioning that is associated with sleep. Progressive relaxation is one of the methods known to be effective in minimizing primary insomnia due to the person's need to release their tension. Frequently, the problem that causes primary insomnia derives from anxiety and muscle tension. Further work on the field is needed to show more the effectiveness of progressive relaxation in primary insomnia, especially in Indonesia, due to the lack of papers showing an intervention effect toward mental health problems. This paper presents a single case study of a graduate student who was diagnosed with primary insomnia. Graduate students are more likely to experience sleep deprivation, due to academic pressures and poor sleeping habits. Primary insomnia was diagnosed in this participant because they met the criteria of primary insomnia, such as frequent complaints of inability to fall asleep, and maintaining sleep for at least one month and an impairment in social and occupational functioning. It was shown during counseling that the participant was experiencing distress mainly caused by family problems. The participant felt burdened about the future due to their family's expectations on several subjects such as career, relationships and academic performance. The participant felt the need to fulfill all of the family's requirements. Another intervention, such as the ABC model from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), was needed due to the participant's negative core belief that made them unable to see their own positive traits. The participant also learned a mantra to cancel out unnecessary negative thoughts that caused sleep disturbance. The intervention was conducted for five sessions over a period of three weeks. The participant reported that before she was introduced to progressive relaxation, she had difficulty maintaining her sleep, she woke up five or six times during her sleep, and she was able to sleep only after midnight. After being taught progressive relaxation, the participant reported that her primary insomnia symptoms had decreased. She was able to sleep without any disturbance and fall sleep at 10 p.m. The participant's anxiety toward her family's expectations also decreased markedly. She reported that she was able to focus on what matters in the present, able to distinguish between her own needs and her family's expectations. Mantras were constantly used by the participant even a year after the intervention. She reported that using a mantra was the most efficient way for her to cancel out negative thoughts. This single case study showed that a short-term intervention was capable of providing an effective outcome for an individual with primary insomnia. It was also shown that progressive relaxation was successful ...
