Sleep Issues
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Having inadequate sleep largely impacts quality of life due to an inability to function well in waking state. People often lack physical and emotional energy to engage in daily tasks such as drive, go to work, house chores, and exercise. Sleep problems are often associated with underlying causes. The therapy process involves exploring the history of your sleep issues. We will explore when it began, what was going on for you at the time, and which factors are currently maintaining the sleeping problems. The model that I predominantly use for sleep issues is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on behaviour modification. Our work together will involve exploring the type of thoughts that interfere with having adequate sleeps. Once people recognize the relationship between their thought patterns and sleep issues, they feel hopeful in their ability to challenge thinking styles that are disruptive. We also focus on what behavioural changes we can incorporate into the treatment plan to maximize good quality, restful sleep. If you are someone struggling with sleep issues I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that fits to your unique needs.

Sleep Issues
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.
