  • Summary

  • CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia) is often called the "gold standard" for treating insomnia.

    However, while CBT-i does help some people, others find that it doesn’t fully resolve their sleep issues.

    I was one of them, and so are most of our clients.

    Sleep Education in CBT-i

    CBT-i starts by teaching people about sleep.

    This helps you understand why you might have trouble sleeping and corrects some false beliefs.

    Sleep education usually includes tips like:

    • Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet.
    • Avoid screens and blue light before bedtime.
    • Avoid drinking coffee or eating heavy meals close to bedtime.
    • Have a calming bedtime routine.
    • Exercise during the day.
    • Get sunlight in the morning.
    • Stop liquids 4 hours before bed.

    These tips can presumably help set the right conditions for sleep.

    But some people become too strict about these rules.
