Effective treatment for Chronic Insomnia
People who suffer from difficulty falling asleep despite doing all the usual things (your room is dark, no caffeine later in the day, no screen time for a few hours before bed) are often prescribed medication for sleep. While they can be effective and useful in the short term, longer term use for most people should be avoided.
There are a number of natural ways to help your sleep including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia - or CBT-i. This therapy addresses four main areas to help get your sleep back on track.
They include sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, cognitive retraining and relaxation training.
There are many trained providers of CBT-I including therapists, psychologists and doctors.
