Overcoming Sleep Difficulties with Evidence-Based Treatment

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 difficulties and health

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.

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Insomnia

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.

Key Benefits of CBT-I Treatment for Insomnia:

  1. Short-Term Treatment: CBT-I typically involves three to six sessions, making it a highly efficient intervention. For primary care settings, a shorter, two-session version focusing on behavioral strategies may also be effective.
  2. Sustained Improvements: Unlike medications, CBT-I targets the root causes of insomnia by eliminating maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns, leading to lasting benefits even after treatment concludes.
  3. High Success Rate: Over 70% of patients experience significant improvement with CBT-I.

Delivery Options for CBT-I:

  1. Individualized Therapy: Ideally, CBT-I should be provided by a trained clinician, such as a psychologist or a behavioral sleep specialist, who can tailor the treatment to each patient’s needs.
  2. Online CBT-I: For those without access to in-person care, online programs offer a convenient alternative.
  3. Self-Help Resources: Highly motivated individuals may benefit from CBT-based books or web resources. However, these options are not equivalent to a full CBT-I program. If self-help resources fall short, professional CBT-I is recommended.

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.
