cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI)

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) helps you change actions or thoughts that hurt your ability to sleep well. It helps you develop habits that promote a healthy pattern of sleep. Talk to your doctor or to a sleep specialist to see if one of these methods might improve your sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) guides patients through a series of changes in sleep-related behaviors. The focus is on addressing the three factors that contribute to the persistence of insomnia: 1. Conditioned arousal. 2. Identifying and eliminating habits that were developed in an effort to improve sleep but have become ineffective. 3. Reducing sleep-related worry and other sources of heightened arousal.
