Sleep Disturbances and CBT-I
Do you struggle to fall or stay asleep? Do you always feel exhausted despite sleeping through the night? Many people of all ages struggle with sleep disturbances and there are many effective solutions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals overcome sleep disturbances, such as chronic insomnia. Unlike medication, which can provide temporary relief, CBT-I addresses the underlying causes of the issue to promote long-term, sustainable sleep improvement.
CBT-I involves a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques aimed at changing sleep habits and misconceptions about sleep.
Here’s a glimpse of what you may work on with Dr. Jessica Tomasula using this therapy:
Sleep Education: Learning about the sleep cycle and factors that influence sleep quality, as well as the importance of good sleep hygiene.
Cognitive Techniques: Identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about sleep. Work with Dr. Tomasula to replace these thought patterns with more realistic thoughts.
Behavioral Strategies: Learning new habits and changing your current sleep habits to retrain your brain and body for sleep.
Relaxation Techniques: Learning methods, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness to reduce pre-sleep anxiety.
If poor sleep is affecting your quality of life, work with Dr. Tomasula to regain control over your sleep and enjoy the restorative rest you deserve.
