S2E8 - Brief Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia in Adults

Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive! This episode breaks down Brief Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (BBTI)—the high-yield, NHMRC Level 2 evidence-based approach examiners prioritise. Learn to counsel patients on sleep hygiene, stimulus control (bed is for sleep and sex only!), and the essential 2-week sleep diary. We explain the "Sleep Restriction" formula: average sleep time plus 30 minutes. Crucially, master the safety screening to avoid critical errors: ruling out bipolar disorder (to prevent mania), OSA, and advising drivers about initial sleep deprivation. #AMCClinicalExam #InsomniaBBTI #SleepRestrictionTechnique #StimulusControl #MentalHealth #IMGAustralia #RACGP #Non-DrugSleepTherapyIf this AMC-related topic interests you, visit the full webpage for extended notes and additional exam-oriented resources: https://apwix.com/100362👉 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.
