CBT-I is a safe, long-lasting, drug-free, and research-based treatment help people overcome chronic insomnia. It consists of techniques to address the factors that can disrupt sleep regulation systems and cause and reinforce inefficient sleep patterns. CBT-I empowers you with the knowledge you need to improve your quality of sleep.

CBT-I helps you understand your body’s sleep regulation systems and how they became disrupted. It breaks the vicious cycle of not being able to sleep, which can create an ongoing state of anxiety, depression, and fear that you’ll never be able to sleep again. Some people even experience this loss of control as traumatizing. Most importantly, CBT-I empowers you with the knowledge, tools and strategies to repair and strengthen your sleep regulation systems. This helps you get your sleep back and avoid any future short-term bouts of insomnia from becoming a long-term problem. Once you’re able to sleep soundly again, you may find that insomnia-related anxiety, depression, and fears disappear entirely.

CBT-I is the ONLY evidence-based treatment method for insomnia. Unlike most insomnia “cures”, CBT-I treats the actual causes of chronic insomnia, not just the symptoms. Most other insomnia strategies are like wild goose chases as they generally are short-term band-aid “solutions”. Because it treats the CAUSES, CBT-I brings safe, long-lasting results. Research shows that most people who complete CBT-I can expect anywhere from a 50% to 100% improvement in their sleep.
