I have completed advanced certification on the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Sleep and insomnia through the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

Over 50% of adults now complain of difficulty sleeping, with half of those individuals experiencing chronic concerns. We now know that sleeping pills are not the solution to insomnia and that it is possible to treat insomnia using cognitive-behavioral therapy insomnia (CBT-I) successfully. The National Institutes of Health have endorsed CBT-I as an effective and preferred method for treating insomnia.

Research on CBT shows that 75% of insomnia patients experience significantly improved sleep and 85- 90% reduce or eliminate sleeping pills. CBT-I is more effective than sleeping pills. CBT-I achieves these results because it is based on the idea that insomnia can only be treated effectively by addressing the underlying causes of insomnia- thoughts and behaviors- which are learned and can be unlearned.

CBT-I Techniques include changing sleep thoughts and behaviors, lifestyle habits that improve sleep, and relaxation techniques. CBT-I has been endorsed by the American Psychological Association (APA), and the American College of Physicians (ACP).
