CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia)

for Insomnia

The gold-standard non-drug treatment for chronic insomnia. Includes sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive restructuring. Apps like Sleepio make it accessible.

How it works

Breaks the learned association between bed and wakefulness. Sleep restriction temporarily consolidates sleep drive, resetting the sleep system.

What to watch for

Sleep restriction phase causes short-term sleep deprivation — avoid driving during this period. Requires sustained commitment.
