Insomnia Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the “gold standard” clinical treatment:

  1. Stimulus Control: Rebuilding the association between bed and sleep.
  2. Sleep Hygiene: Optimising environment and habits.
  3. Sleep Restriction: Temporarily limiting time in bed to increase sleep drive.
  4. Cognitive Restructuring: Addressing sleep-related anxieties.

Clinical severity is measured by frequency and impact:

  1. Frequency: Difficulty sleeping at least three nights per week.
  2. Duration: Symptoms persisting for three months or longer.
  3. Impairment: Significant distress affecting daytime functioning, mood, or concentration.
  4. Health Impact: Often associated with increased risks of cardiovascular issues or depression.
  • Specialists recommend the “20-minute rule” to prevent bed-related anxiety:

    1. Leave the Bed: If awake for 20 minutes, get up.
    2. Low Stimulation: Move to another room with dim lighting.
    3. Quiet Activity: Read or listen to soft music.
    4. Return: Only go back when truly sleepy.

While no “instant cure” exists, the “Military Method” aims for rapid relaxation:

  1. Physical Release: Relax all facial muscles and drop shoulders.
  2. Breathing: Focus on deep, slow exhalations.
  3. Mental Clearing: Imagine a serene environment for ten seconds.
  4. Repetition: Silently repeat “don’t think” to halt intrusive thoughts.

Common indicators of a disrupted sleep cycle include:

  1. Sleep Latency: Taking longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
  2. Fragmented Sleep: Waking up multiple times during the night.
  3. Early Awakening: Waking up too early and being unable to fall back asleep.
  4. Daytime Fatigue: Feeling unrefreshed or exhausted during the day.
  5. Cognitive Difficulty: Poor memory or concentration.

This grounding technique is used to lower the “hyperarousal” that prevents sleep:

  1. Visual: Name three things you can see in the dim light.
  2. Auditory: Identify three distinct sounds (e.g., a clock or distant traffic).
  3. Physical: Move three body parts, like wiggling toes or clenching fists.
