Who Does CBT-I Benefit?
Why Try CBT-I?
Insomnia is one of the most common issues people face. Over 50% of adults complain of sleep issues, half of these chronically. CBT-I is a therapeutic treatment that research has shown is the most effective treatment to help you overcome insomnia and no longer rely on sleeping pills . CBT-I has been endorsed by the National Institutes of Health as an effective and preferred method for treating insomnia. Research on CBT shows the following:
* 75% of insomnia patients experience significantly improved sleep
* 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.
* Individuals with problems falling asleep or waking during the night
* Individuals who wish to reduce or eliminate sleep medication
