Do you find it hard to turn your mind off at night, having non-stop worries and thoughts? Are you constantly waking up tired, wondering if you will ever get enough sleep? CBT-I teaches people how to overcome underlying causes of sleep problems, to master thoughts and behaviours that generate sleep problems, and to develop habits that promote sound sleep - all with the goal of not needing sleep medications. CBT-I groups meet on a weekly basis, for 6 weeks, which is more more cost-effective and offers additional social support, reinforcement, and modeling. If you prefer individual sessions, these are available as well.
