Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
CBT-I improves sleep through a combination of behavioral interventions (stimulus control (SC), sleep restriction (SR)), cognitive therapy (CT) as well as additional components such as mindfulness training and sleep hygiene education. SC is an intervention that re-establishes the connection between the bed/bedroom with sleep to help develop a more consistent sleep/wake pattern. SR leads to higher quality sleep by reducing excessive time spent in bed to the actual amount of sleep, thereby creating mild sleep deprivation and increasing the homeostatic sleep drive. Like CT for other disorders, CT for insomnia targets maladaptive thoughts and cognitions that may interfere with sleep.
