About this listen

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.
