Sleep is a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. However, many individuals struggle with chronic sleep difficulties, impacting their quality of life.
At Level Up Wellness Group, we offer a comprehensive approach to address sleep issues, combining evidence-based treatments and personalized care.
Sleep difficulties are one of the most common health challenges, affecting approximately 33% to 50% of adults who struggle regularly to fall or stay asleep. For 7% to 18% of individuals, these issues meet the clinical criteria for an insomnia disorder.
Sleep disruptions can significantly impact overall health, contributing to cognitive impairments, weakened immune function, metabolic imbalances, and worsening of psychiatric conditions.
The good news? Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been identified as the most effective non-medication treatment for chronic insomnia. This evidence-based approach helps individuals understand and address the underlying causes of their sleep difficulties, paving the way for restful nights and improved overall well-being.
Let us help you reclaim restorative sleep through personalized care and proven strategies.
Insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing poor-quality sleep, can significantly impact your physical and mental health.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard and first-line treatment for insomnia, recommended as the initial approach for managing the condition. This evidence-based therapy combines psychoeducation about sleep, behavioral interventions like stimulus control therapy, and strategies to address unhelpful beliefs that sustain insomnia over time.
The cognitive-behavioural model explains how acute insomnia often leads individuals to adopt ineffective sleep strategies and develop anxiety about sleep. These behaviors and thoughts can persist and maintain insomnia even after the initial trigger has resolved.
CBT-I empowers individuals to break the cycle of insomnia by addressing the underlying thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate it. If you’re struggling with sleep, consider CBT-I as a proven pathway to better rest and overall well-being.
