Improve Your Sleep with CBT for Insomnia

Improve Your Sleep with CBT for Insomnia

Improve your sleep with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) encapsulates all of the understanding, knowledge and skills about sleep, insomnia and psychology that I have learnt since I first began researching and working in the areas of sleep and psychology in 2010.

It will teach you exactly what you need to do to track your sleep and assess how well you are sleeping and the impact that this is having on your life. It will teach you how to get the most out of your fitness or activity trackers. It will also teach you which sleep diary is the best to use, and all of the great information that you can get from these sleep diaries. It will introduce some of the most important sleep questionnaires that you can use to assess how you are going in these areas and be able to monitor your progress.

It will go through the four main components of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia. These are:

Session One: Psychoeducation about sleep and insomnia and sleep hygiene recommendations

Session Two: Behavioural strategies for sleep and the five empirically supported interventions for insomnia

Session Three: Cognitive strategies to change your thinking, reduce your arousal and sleep better

Session Four: Relapse prevention and self-management strategies to become a good sleeper for life

Lastly, it will help you to determine which strategies are most effective for you. It will help you to clarify no more three goals to focus on between each session. It will help you to test them out in your life, track your sleep and anything else that you want to measure, and see what impact they have on you. By knowing what sleep strategies really work well for you and why, you will have all of the knowledge required to become a good sleeper for life!
