S2E11 - CBT-I Five Step Insomnia Treatment Plan

Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! This episode explores CBT-i, a Level 1 evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia, as recommended by the NHMRC. We break down the five essential components every IMG must know: Cognitive Therapy, Stimulus Control, Sleep Restriction, Sleep Hygiene, and Relaxation. Learn why CBT-i is as effective as hypnotics but offers better long-term results without the risk of tolerance. We explain how to teach patients to leave the bedroom if they have been awake for 20 minutes and recommend digital tools like CBT-I Coach. #AMCClinicalExam #CBTforInsomnia #ChronicInsomniaTreatment #OSCEMentalHealth #StimulusControl #SleepRestriction #IMGAustraliaPro Tip: In the Clinical Exam, clearly naming the components like "Stimulus Control" and explaining the "15-20 minute rule" demonstrates the high-level clinical knowledge examiners are looking for!If this AMC-related topic interests you, visit the full webpage for extended notes and additional exam-oriented resources: https://apwix.com/100418👉 Episodes in Season 1 (150 clinical scenarios) have been indexed by topic, patient group, discipline, setting, and more to support targeted learning.Use the filters to locate discussions relevant to your study or clinical training.🎧 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Access the library⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
