Good sleep is a foundation for good health. If you’re seeking help for your sleep, you already know how important it is for every aspect of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. You may have already tried to improve “sleep hygiene” on your own, tried various medications or over-the-counter supplements, and worked hard on improving your lifestyle. Or perhaps you haven’t tried major changes, because it’s difficult to know where to start.
You are not alone. Over 25 million adults in the United States have clinically significant insomnia. Millions more struggle to use their life-saving sleep apnea treatments. Many suffer silently from the sleep and daytime difficulties that come with pregnancy and parenthood, shift work, delayed sleep phase, nightmares, narcolepsy... They are also lying awake at night, or struggling to stay awake during the day, exhausted and dreading the next sleep battle.
What most people don’t know is that the field of Behavioral Sleep Medicine has evidence-based solutions that are efficient and effective for treating insomnia… and they go far beyond sleep hygiene. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and related approaches help you to:
Understand how your sleep works, in the context of your biology, health history, and lifestyle
Reset your sleep physiology and circadian patterns
Improve the quality of your sleep so it feels more refreshing
Learn ways of relaxing your body and quieting your mind
Change the way you relate to sleep so that nighttime feels relaxing
Reframe your approach so you can enjoy life instead of working on sleep
Create daytime habits that support 24-hour sleep-wake health
Get off of sleep medications in a safe and sustainable way
