Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep, despite having the opportunity to sleep. It often leads to daytime fatigue, mood disturbances, and impaired functioning. In the United States about 10-15% of Adults experience insomnia.
What is CBT-I
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach for treating chronic sleep difficulties. Unlike medication, CBT-I addresses the underlying thoughts and behaviors that disrupt healthy sleep. It helps individuals identify and change unhelpful beliefs about sleep, develop better sleep habits, and establish a more consistent sleep-wake cycle.
​
CBT-I typically involves structured sessions that focus on strategies like sleep restriction, stimulus control, relaxation techniques, and cognitive restructuring. Most people begin to notice significant improvements in sleep quality within a few weeks. Endorsed by major medical organizations, CBT-I is considered the gold standard treatment for insomnia—and it works without the side effects or dependency risks associated with sleeping pills.
