It is estimated that one in ten U.S. adults suffers from chronic
insomnia. If left untreated, chronic insomnia reduces quality of
life and increases risk for psychiatric and medical disease,
especially depression and anxiety. There are two forms of insomnia:
secondary insomnia, in which it is comorbid with another condition
such as psychiatric disorders, chronic pain conditions, or
cardiopulmonary disorders, and primary insomnia, which does not
coexist with any other disorder, Though insomnia may be caused by
any number of things, it is primarily sustained by the development
of poor sleep habits (such as varying sleep-wake schedule, daytime
napping, and spending excessive time in bed) as an attempt to
manage the problem. This treatment program uses
cognitive-behavioral therapy methods to correct those poor sleep
habits. CBT has been proven in multiple studies to improve sleep
hygiene by reducing time spent in bed before sleep onset, reducing
time spent awake after first sleep onset, and increasing the
quality and efficiency of sleep. Developed by the authors, this
evidence based treatment can be used for both primary and secondary
insomnia sufferers. Patients are first given information about
healthy sleep and the reasons for improving sleep habits, then a
behavioral program is developed to address that patient's specific
sleep problems. Use of sleep logs, assessment forms, and other
homework (all provided in the corresponding workbook) allows client
and therapist to work together to develop an effective sleep
regimen tailored specifically for each client. Finally, several
sessions are dedicated to increasing compliance and
problem-solving.
