What is CBT-I?

The Proven Standard for Managing Insomnia Without Drugs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) addresses the root causes of chronic insomnia, thought patterns, behaviors, and conditioning. Unlike sleep medication, which masks symptoms, CBT-I provides sustainable, long-term sleep improvements.

  • Proven First-Line Treatment: Recommended by major sleep and medical societies.
  • Non-Pharmacological: Avoids side effects and dependency risks of sedative-hypnotics.
  • Tailored for Chronic Insomnia: Effective even in patients with comorbid anxiety or depression.
  • Suitable for Primary Care: Easy to recommend, prescribe, and monitor.

This course is ideal for your patients who:

  • Have had difficulty falling or staying asleep for more than 3 months
  • Complain of daytime fatigue, anxiety, or irritability despite adequate time in bed
  • Are resistant to or seeking alternatives to medication
  • Want a structured, private program they can complete at home and at their pace
