Common sleep treatments that we use:
​
We use Cogntive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people get better sleep. CBT helps people change the mindsets and habits that are interefering with their sleep, and often includes:
​
-
Reducing unwanted medications (e.g. sleeping pills).
-
Learning relaxation skills that make it easier to fall asleep (e.g. breathing, muscle relaxation, wind down routines).
-
Making your bedroom more comforable and nicer to sleep in (e.g. reducing noise, light, and temperature; and using pleasant essential oils)
-
Establishing healthy habits that support sleep (e.g. exercise, healthy diet).
-
Reducing stimulants that make it hard to fall asleep (e.g. stress, caffeine, nicotine).
-
Reducing things that wake you up at night (e.g. alcohol, toilet breaks, noise).
-
Managing time better, to break the habit of staying up too late (e.g. working, binge watching shows, using devices).
-
Learning how to manage the anxiety and perfectionism that keeps you awake
