What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured program that helps individuals identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. It is considered the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia and is often preferred over pharmacological treatments due to its long-lasting effects and minimal side effects. CBT-I typically involves a combination of cognitive therapy, behavioral interventions, and educational components.
