Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, evidence-based approach that addresses the thoughts and behaviors contributing to insomnia. CBT-I involves identifying and altering negative thought patterns and establishing healthy sleep habits. Techniques include stimulus control, sleep restriction, and cognitive restructuring. Research shows that CBT-I is highly effective in treating chronic insomnia, often yielding long-term improvements in sleep quality. By working with a trained therapist or utilizing self-help resources, individuals can learn to manage insomnia through this transformative therapy.
