Can’t sleep? You’re not failing — your brain is just on overtime. CBT-I helps you hit pause, calm your mind, and actually enjoy your nights again.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard, evidence-based approach to help adults who struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. Unlike medications, CBT-I works with your brain and habits to reset your natural sleep cycle.
Here’s what it typically addresses:
Sleep patterns and routines: Identify habits that interfere with restful sleep and create a schedule that actually works for your body.
Racing thoughts & nighttime anxiety: Learn strategies to quiet the mind so you’re not lying awake worrying about tomorrow (or scrolling through Instagram… yes, we see you).
Bedtime environment & behavior: Your bedroom should signal “sleep,” not “stress.” This might mean limiting screen time — yep, that includes your phone.
Sleep restriction & stimulus control: Sounds strict, but it’s surprisingly effective. You’ll learn how to strengthen the connection between your bed and sleep — not tossing and turning.
Long-term habits: CBT-I teaches tools that stick, so you’re not dependent on sleep aids forever.
Typical format: Usually 6–8 weekly sessions (sometimes shorter or longer depending on your needs). Sessions are practical, goal-oriented, and tailored to your sleep challenges.
