How it worksCBT for Insomnia

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) combines sleep restriction (limiting time in bed to match actual sleep time), stimulus control (using the bed only for sleep and sex), sleep hygiene education, cognitive therapy (challenging unhelpful beliefs about sleep), and often relaxation training. It targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep insomnia going, rather than using medication.
