How to Improve Your Sleep Naturally with CBT for Insomnia

What is Insomnia?

Have you ever lain awake at night, tossing and turning, wishing you could fall asleep?

Or maybe you fell asleep quickly but then woke up multiple times throughout the night. If

this sounds familiar, you may be struggling with insomnia.

Insomnia is described as difficulties with falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or waking up

too early, resulting in nightly sleep loss of at least 30 minutes. A key feature of insomnia

is that these sleep struggles happen night after night and lead to problems during the

day. This includes low mood, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and lowered

functioning when it comes to work and play.

What is CBT for Insomnia?

CBT for Insomnia is a gold-standard, research-backed treatment for improving sleep.

Goals for treatment include “gluing” your sleep together by decreasing fragmented

sleep, increasing the amount of quality sleep, and helping you feel more empowered in

managing your sleep. You will learn new skills, reduce some behaviors that keep the

insomnia going, adjust your sleep schedule, and keep track of progress.

Why CBT for Insomnia?

While sleep medications may improve symptoms short-term, CBT for Insomnia

addresses the root causes of insomnia, resulting in long-term impacts. In fact, if you

practice the new skills daily, you may see results in as little as four weeks!
