Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT can have beneficial effects that last
well beyond the end of treatment. It involves combinations of the following
therapies:
o Cognitive therapy: Changing attitudes and beliefs that hinder your sleep
o Relaxation training: Relaxing your mind and body
o Sleep hygiene training: Correcting bad habits that contribute to poor sleep
o Sleep restriction: Severely limiting and then gradually increasing your time
in bed
o Stimulus control: Going to bed only when sleepy, waking at the same time
daily, leaving the bed when unable to sleep, avoiding naps, using the bed
only for sleep and sex
