INLAND INSOMNIA THERAPY CAN HELP

Can’t Sleep??? Behavioral Sleep Medicine Using CBT-I Could Help.

Inland Insomnia Therapy uses CBT-I instead of pills to help you get the best sleep possible. CBT-I is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia.

CBT-I is a structured, strategic process that was developed into an effective treatment for insomnia that

DOESN’T RELY ON THE AID OF SLEEP MEDICATIONS

It combines a variety of components that work together to greatly improve both the quality and amount of sleep a person gets on any given night. There are six principal components of CBT-I. Inland Insomnia Therapy provides an in-depth focus on each of these components, giving clients the tools they need to improve their sleep and their lives.

By the end of treatment, most clients walk away with genuine expertise on how to treat insomnia. They can apply their learned CBT-I techniques should insomnia flare up in the future.

How One-to-One CBT-I treatment works

You will meet with your sleep clinician one-on-one for approximately six sessions one time weekly.
Each session will last between 25 to 45 minutes.
Your treatment will include the administration of various psychological tests and will use specific measuring tools to accurately diagnose your sleep disorder.
Data gathered in your sessions will be analyzed and allow your clinician to prescribe a tailored treatment plan.
You will be provided with topic-related cognitive therapy to restructure self-defeating negative thoughts.
You will learn time-tested, practical techniques to promote continued success upon completion of treatment.

Advantages of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

CBT-I has become the first-line drug-free treatment for adults with chronic insomnia.
It typically improves sleep in 75-80% of insomnia patients and reduces or eliminates sleeping pill use in 90% of patients.
And, in three major studies that directly compared CBT-I to sleeping pills, CBT-I was more effective than sleeping pills.

According to the most reputable and widely respected medical sources such as The American College of Physicians, The American Journal of Psychiatry and the New England Journal of Medicine, CBT-I also has no side effects and maintains improvements in sleep long-term.

What Is Insomnia?

For so many people…

INSOMNIA IS A SLEEPLESS NIGHTMARE!!!

If you have insomnia, you may have had hundreds, if not thousands, of nights with constant tossing and turning. On a typical night, you may watch the clock hour after hour and think, “If I fall asleep right now, I can still get 5 hours…4 hours…3 hours.”

Or you may fall asleep easily but wake up in a couple hours, unable to fall back asleep. Maybe you wake up hours too early in the morning and start your day angry and frustrated. Perhaps the worst part of having insomnia is the nightly anxiety leading up to bedtime when you start to worry whether this night will be just one more exhausting struggle to fall and stay asleep.

Insomnia is a common sleep problem for adults. The National Sleep Foundation estimates that roughly 30 percent of the general population complains of sleep disruption. People who are diagnosed with insomnia typically report at least one symptom of insomnia:

- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking up a lot during the night
- Waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep, or
- Waking up feeling un-refreshed

at least a few nights per week over the course of several months.

Additional Benefits of CBT-I for People with

CO-OCCURING DISORDERS

The most up-to-date research on the efficacy of CBTI-I suggests that it can greatly help those that have co-occurring disorders such as depression, chronic pain, menopausal symptoms, fibromyalgia, substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder. Read on…

CBT-I has been found to double the improvement rates of people with insomnia who are also diagnosed with depression. The findings indicate that those taking antidepressant medication alone, without the benefit of CBT-I, have slower recovery rates in therapy: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022399917308486.
CBT-I can also improve the quality of sleep one gets and may reduce chronic pain: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0005796712001209.
CBT-I can help to relieve menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes: https://www.womens-health-concern.org/help-and-advice/factsheets/cognitive-behaviour-therapy-cbt-menopausal-symptoms.
Fibromyalgia can also be helped using CBT-I: https://www.med.upenn.edu/cbti/assets/user-content/documents/Edinger-FibromyalgiaCBT-I.pdf
There is also substantial research on CBT-I’s benefits for those with substance abuse: https://www.centerwatch.com/clinical-trials/listings/159301/substance-use-disorders-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-insomnia/ .
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can cause horrendous sleep disorders but CBT-I can help: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24497661.

**It’s easy to see why CBT-I has become the go-to treatment for so many doctors looking to help their patients get a decent night’s sleep**

WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESCRIBE SLEEPING PILLS!

CBT-I vs. Sleeping Pills

In contrast to CBT-I, sleeping pills do NOT greatly improve sleep. In fact, current research shows that sleeping pills, such as Ambien, may be no more effective than a placebo.

On a person to person basis, sleeping pills only increase total sleep time (they do not get to the root of the insomnia or correct improper sleep patterns) and may only reduce the time it takes to fall asleep by about 10 minutes.

Furthermore, these small to moderate short-term improvements in sleep can be outweighed by unwanted side effects, particularly in older adults. Side effects of sleep medications range from mild to severe and may include:

- Learning and memory problems
- Daytime sleepiness
- Habitual use of sleeping pills
- Addiction to sleep medicines
- A risk of overdose and, tragically,
- Early-onset dementia.

According to the Wall Street Journal, due to these very serious potential side effects, Ambien, Lunesta, and Sonata will get new FDA black box warnings about potentially fatal side effects (https://www.wsj.com/articles/fda-orders-black-box-warnings-for-sleep-aids-11556661036).

As a result of all these potential negative consequences, CBT-I is now recommended as the preferred treatment for insomnia.

Behavioral Sleep Medicine Therapist Barbara Jaurequi

Any experienced psychotherapist who treats people for depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder (ADD), relationship problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), among other diagnosable mental illnesses, can attest that the relationship between insomnia and mental illness is very often bi-directional, meaning that people with insomnia can also have a mental health problem and people with a mental health problem can often have insomnia.

Working with her clients over the years, Barbara Jaurequi found that insomnia was often preventing them from making progress in therapy.

Sometimes, they were depressed simply because they could not sleep.
Sometimes, they were anxious because they were worried about getting enough sleep.
Sometimes, they were so tired, they couldn’t focus on tasks, and that’s why they were sometimes wrongly diagnosed with ADD by their medical doctors.

To be sure, a lack of quality sleep can make people feel down, worried, stressed, etc. Poor sleep can also cause irritability and can even cause trouble in our relationships at work or with loved ones.

See for yourself what all the experts are saying about CBT-I. Just read a couple of the following articles.
