CBT-I Versus Pills
CBT-I is often more effective than sleeping pills for treating chronic insomnia. While pills provide temporary relief, they do not address the underlying causes of sleep problems and can lead to dependence. CBT-I, on the other hand, helps you develop long-term skills to improve sleep naturally.
Studies show that CBT-I therapy has lasting benefits, even after treatment ends. It is also free from the side effects associated with medications. At Somnium Sleep, we believe in empowering you with tools for better sleep, not just quick fixes.
Is CBT-I Effective?
Yes, CBT-I is highly effective for treating chronic insomnia. Research shows that it helps 70-80% of people improve their sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Many patients experience long-term benefits, even after completing the program.
CBT-I is especially helpful for people who have struggled with insomnia for years or who have not found relief from medications. At Somnium Sleep, we have seen firsthand how CBT-I can transform lives by restoring healthy sleep patterns.
What to Expect in CBT-I Therapy?
In CBT-I therapy, you’ll work with a sleep specialist to identify the thoughts and behaviors affecting your sleep. Sessions typically include education about sleep, personalized strategies, and homework assignments to practice new skills. Most programs last 6-8 weeks, with weekly sessions and ongoing support. At Somnium Sleep, we tailor each program to your unique needs and goals.
Does CBT-I Have Risks?
CBT-I is a safe and non-invasive treatment with no known risks or side effects. Unlike medications, it does not cause dependence or withdrawal symptoms. However, it requires commitment and effort to see results. If you’re ready to put in the work, CBT-I can help you achieve lasting improvements in your sleep.
