Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a treatment for chronic insomnia that addresses the habits and thought patterns that interfere with sleep. CBT-I is often recommended as the initial treatment for chronic insomnia.

CBT-I helps to identify and correct the underlying causes of insomnia while establishing more helpful sleep habits.

CBT-I uses a combination of cognitive and behavioral interventions to address the way you think about sleep as well as your actions and habits around bedtime.

🧠Cognitive Interventions
Cognitive aspects of CBT-I include sleep education, cognitive therapy, and relaxation training.

🧠Behavioral Changes
Behavioral components of CBT-I aim to eliminate poor sleep habits and encourage healthy behaviors that promote quality sleep. This includes improving sleep hygiene, sleep restriction therapy, sleep compression, and stimulus control therapy.
