Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is considered by sleep experts to be the first line of defense for insomnia. Which means, if you see a sleep doctor, they are more likely to recommend a six week course in CBT-I than write a prescription for something like Ambien. While it can seem a little daunting to start, research has shown CBT-I to be more effective at curing insomnia than medication, and it usually lasts much longer, too. In this video, join Adria as she explains what the CBT-I process looks like, how you can get started, and what to do if a therapist is not accessible to you. Also joining us in this video is Dr. Brandon Peters, a board-certified neurologist and sleep expert, and Dr. Michael Breus, a board-certified clinical psychologist and sleep expert. 📚 Order Dr. Peters's latest book right here: https://a.co/d/hoi1ZOO 🖥️ And learn more about Dr. Breus at his YouTube Channel: @TheSleepDoctor 🖥️ For more information on CBT-I, including links to some of the resources we mention in the video, visit Sleep Foundation: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/treatment/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-insomnia 📺 For tips on reducing your anxiety before bed, check out our video: https://youtu.be/TMVHScqXivM 0:00 About CBT-I 0:28 What is Insomnia? 3:00 Why Meds Don't Work 3:56 CBT-I Explained 5:17 A Case Study 6:26 What is the Process Like? 7:34 At-Home Resources 8:32 Long-Term Efficacy #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #insomnia #cbt
