Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of Insomnia

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of Insomnia (CBT-I) is an individualized, structured, and data-driven form of psychotherapy that targets particular patterns of behavior and thought associated with chronic insomnia.

How is Insomnia Diagnosed?

While no specific criteria have been established as an adequate number of hours of sleep, Insomnia is a diagnosis based on one's subjective complaint and impaired daytime functioning. Frequent aspects of daytime impairment include fatigue, irritability, problems with attention/concentration, and distress regarding initiating or maintaining sleep.

Oftentimes, acute Insomnia occurs as a normal and possibly even adaptive response to a significant life stressor. Certain patterns of thought and behavior in reaction to this sleep difficulty serve to perpetuate and/or exacerbate the problem, giving the Insomnia a "life of its own" as it turns into a chronic condition. These reactions include the development of negative and worrisome thoughts about sleep, maladaptive sleep habits and compensatory behaviors, as well as overall daily stress.
