The "Gold Standard" For Insomnia

from Former Insomniac by End Insomnia

CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia) is often called the "gold standard" for treating insomnia. However, while CBT-i does help some people, others find that it doesn’t fully resolve their sleep issues. I was one of them, and so are most of our clients. Sleep Education in CBT-iCBT-i starts by teaching people about sleep. This helps you understand why you might have trouble sleeping and corrects some false beliefs. Sleep education usually includes tips like:Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet.Avoid screens and blue light before bedtime.Avoid drinking coffee or eating heavy meals close to bedtime.Have a calming bedtime routine.Exercise during the day.Get sunlight in the morning.Stop liquids 4 hours before bed.These tips can presumably help set the right conditions for sleep. But some people become too strict about these rules. --Looking for a deep dive into the End Insomnia System?
