CBT-I, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, is a structured, evidence-based treatment that addresses the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep. Unlike sleep medications, which may offer short-term relief, CBT-I teaches lasting skills to improve sleep quality naturally.
Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful sleep patterns, reducing anxiety about sleep, and retraining the body’s sleep cycle through practical techniques like stimulus control and sleep restriction. With practice, clients build confidence in their ability to get restorative rest.
Targeted Support for Insomnia and Wellbeing

CBT-I typically lasts 6–10 sessions. Early sessions involve keeping a sleep diary to track habits and identify triggers. Therapists then guide clients through evidence-based strategies such as:
Support for Anyone Struggling with Chronic Sleep Challenges
Adults and teens with chronic insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep)
People who rely on sleep medications and want non-drug alternatives
