Antonio Miguel Hijano, physician and medical director of clinic in Jerez de la Frontera, came to NESA through personal experience: for years he suffered an undiagnosed sleep disease that severely affected his quality of life until treatment with NESA finally allowed him to have restorative sleep. This personal experience has made him a passionate defender of addressing sleep as a clinical priority.
He denounces that conventional medicine, especially public, undervalues sleep pathology even among the specialists themselves, with a direct effect on a population increasingly sick from causes derived from poor rest. He defends that non-pharmacological measures must always be the first therapeutic step: sleep routines, absence of screens, nutrition, environment and music, aspects that today are systematically ignored.
His most outstanding case with NESA is a patient who had been sleeping 3-4 hours for years: in the fourth-fifth session she doubled her sleep hours. He also observes improvements in sleep as a positive side effect in patients treated for other pathologies.
He is setting up a sleep unit at his clinic with an integral and multidisciplinary approach, and his great passion is fighting excessive medicalization, especially in fibromyalgia, nonspecific chronic pain and sleep disorders.
