APPROACH
CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)
A structured, short-term therapy that is the first-line treatment for ongoing sleep problems.
WHAT SESSIONS MAY INCLUDE
- Keeping a sleep diary to track patterns over 1-2 weeks.
- Setting a consistent sleep and wake schedule, even on difficult nights.
- Learning to get out of bed when unable to sleep, rather than lying awake frustrated.
- Addressing anxious thoughts about sleep itself, which often make insomnia worse.
Session information
Usually 4-8 sessions, often including a sleep diary and specific changes to sleep habits.
