What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get restorative rest throughout the night. For some, insomnia can be a short-term issue caused by stress or a major life event. However, for others, it can become a chronic condition, lasting for months or even years, severely impacting daily functioning and overall well-being.
Symptoms of Insomnia
-
Difficulty falling asleep: Lying awake for long periods without being able to drift off, even when tired.
-
Waking up frequently during the night or waking up too early and being unable to go back to sleep.
-
Non-restorative sleep: Feeling tired or unrested despite spending enough time in bed.
-
Daytime fatigue: Persistent tiredness, low energy, or feeling mentally and physically drained.
-
Difficulty concentrating and memory problems, often caused by sleep deprivation.
-
Mood changes: Increased irritability, anxiety, or depression, which can result from chronic lack of sleep.
If left untreated, insomnia can disrupt your daily life, affect your relationships, and contribute to health problems such as high blood pressure or weakened immunity. However, with the right treatment, such as CBT-I, you can regain control and start enjoying restful nights once again.
What is CBT-I?
CBT-I is a structured program designed to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to insomnia. Unlike sleeping pills, which only mask the symptoms, CBT-I addresses the root cause of your sleep difficulties, promoting long-term improvement in your sleep quality.
How does CBT-I work?
-
Sleep Education: Learn about the science of sleep and how certain habits can disrupt your natural sleep cycle.
-
Cognitive Restructuring: Identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts that fuel insomnia, such as fear of sleeplessness or unrealistic expectations about sleep.
-
Behavioral Techniques: Implement sleep-promoting behaviors like stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation techniques that train your body and mind to rest.
