Difficulty Sleeping?

Struggling to get to sleep, stay asleep or mind racing in bed?

If you have had difficulty sleeping for more than a couple of weeks our experienced doctor can provide tools and techniques to fall asleep quickly, stop your mind from racing and advice about what to do if you wake overnight. This is usually provided during an initial 45 minute consultation.

If your symptoms continue we can provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is the recommended first line treatment for insomnia which has been going on for longer the three months.

What is CBT for Insomnia?

CBT-I is an evidence based practice which helps you fall asleep quickly and get a refreshing continuous sleep. It uses cognitive components to target the thoughts and worries that prevent sleep, and uses behavioural components to establish a new sleep routine and eradicate sleeplessness from bed.

Common issues targeted by cognitive components:

  • sleep effort (the harder you try to sleep, the harder it becomes)

  • reviewing & planning thoughts (things that happened today, things that will happen tomorrow)

  • real life issues that need some real attention (if you are busy through the day, these thoughts may become more apparent at night)

  • mind jumping from topic to topic

  • thinking about not sleeping

Behavioural components re-establish the association between bed and sleep, and re-align your sleep wake drive to help bed become a comfortable restful place.

National Institute for Clinical Evidence (NICE) recommends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is used as first line treatment for insomnia which has persisted more than three months.

The vast majority of people who receive CBT-I see long lasting improvements in their sleep. Around half achieve complete remission even if symptoms and have been ongoing for years.

CBT-I is usually delivered over six sessions.

Is it just Sleep Hygiene?

It is unlikely that caffeine or looking at screens caused you difficulty with sleep, so it’s unlikely avoiding these things will resolve you symptoms.

CBT-I targets racing mind, sleep related worry and establishes as new sleep schedule to give you a refreshing night’s sleep.

CBT for insomnia

If your symptoms have been ongoing for months or years it is likely that you will benefit from CBT-I. Following your initial assessment you will be asked to complete a two week sleep diary and several questionnaires to identify where your difficulties lie. Your initial three CBT-I sessions will be one hour. At your initial CBT-I session will discuss your sleep diary and start your journey towards falling asleep quickly, staying asleep and feeling refreshed. We will review your diary and build on your progress in subsequent sessions. The final two sessions will be 45-minutes and will include relapse prevention. Subsequent 30 or 45 minutes sessions can be booked if needed.

Appointments will take place via Zoom or Microsoft Teams- and will normally be scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays between 09:30 and 14:00
