Wellness Workshop: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
Join us on Wednesday, November 8th as Dr. Klauer, and special guest, Patti Gasper, DNP, FNP-BC, discuss the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is the most effective nonpharmacological treatment for chronic insomnia. CBT-i produces results that are equivalent to sleep medication, with no side effects, fewer episodes of relapse, and a tendency for sleep to continue to improve long past the end of treatment. Whereas sleeping pills mask the symptoms of insomnia, CBT-i promotes a genuine learning process that restores the body’s natural sleep mechanism. The patient learns skills to decrease the conditioned arousal that contributes to insomnia and engages in lifestyle practices that cooperate with the body’s natural circadian rhythm.
