Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy To Treat Sleep Disorder
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy To Treat Sleep DisorderAuthor: Mason HintonCognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tries to reduce a person's misconceptions about sleep, as well as teach more positive sleep behaviors. The therapy consists of talking with a therapist (alone or with a group) to address your beliefs, assumptions and behaviors regarding sleep, and is often used in conjunction with stimulus control, sleep restriction and good sleep hygiene. Several studies have shown that CBT is an effective way of treating insomnia and that the therapy can reduce the number of long term medical issues associated with insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses a person's beliefs about sleep and helps replace negative or unhelpful behaviors with positive ones. The significance of one's thinking about sleep is often underestimated. Sleep problems which start as isolated incidents can become chronic because of mental hang-ups.How we think about sleep can play an important role in how we deal with sleep difficulties. For this reason, an essential part of your sleep treatment involves identifying your thoughts about sleep that tend to make sleeping more difficult and replacing these thoughts with more helpful thinking. One technique for examining your thinking is to treat your thoughts as scientific hypotheses or ideas. You may have had certain beliefs about your sleep for a long time. At this time you are being asked to consider alternative beliefs and determine which of these beliefs is best supported by the information available to you.
