Questions? No worries, I have answers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. Unlike general sleep hygiene tips, CBT-I focuses on the patterns that can keep insomnia going, such as spending too much time awake in bed, inconsistent sleep schedules, sleep-related worry, and efforts to force sleep. Treatment is individualized and typically includes behavioral and cognitive strategies designed to strengthen the natural sleep system and reduce the struggle around sleep.

CBT-I may be a good fit if you have ongoing difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking earlier than you would like, or feeling increasingly anxious or frustrated about sleep. It can be helpful even when insomnia has been present for years. If you are not sure whether CBT-I is the right next step or whether another sleep or medical evaluation may be more appropriate; a Sleep Clarity Consultation can help you sort that out.

A Sleep Clarity Consultation is a one-time 90-minute appointment for adults who are unsure what kind of sleep help they need. We review your sleep patterns, current strategies, sleep-related worry, daytime symptoms, and possible signs that another medical or sleep evaluation may be helpful. You leave with a clearer understanding of possible next steps.

CBT-I, by contrast, is an ongoing treatment for chronic insomnia. The Sleep Clarity Consultation is designed to help you decide what kind of help makes the most sense before committing to treatment.

Yes. CBT-I is commonly used with people who have had insomnia for many years, including people who currently take sleep medication. You do not need to stop medication before beginning CBT-I. If you are interested in reducing or discontinuing a sleep medication, that decision should be made with the prescribing clinician, while CBT-I can help support healthier sleep patterns during the process.
