Are you having difficulties with sleep? You are not alone. Insomnia is a common and debilitating problem. Research shows that 50% of adults report difficulty sleeping. Many of them use sleeping pills out of desperation to get some sleep relief, and they become dependent on medications despite undesirable long term effects. Medication is not the best or even most effective solution to insomnia. Extensive research support the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically for treating insomnia. CBT I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is an effective and empirically supported treatment that has has been endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and is recommended as a preferred method for treating insomnia. Research on CBT I shows that 75% of insomnia patients experience significant improved in sleep and as much as 85- 90% of them reduce or stop taking sleeping pills completely after CBT I treatment. I am a certified CBT I therapist and will be able to assist you in resolving your sleeping difficulties. In treatment, we conjointly work on changing the negative sleep thoughts and behaviors that lead to insomnia. CBTI is a short duration treatment that can make a huge difference in your every day function.

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.

Sleep Issues
Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Struggling with sleep can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected, as if your mind is constantly racing or your body can’t fully rest. Often, sleep disorders are tied to deeper emotional struggles, like anxiety, unresolved stress, or past trauma that keeps you in a heightened state of alertness. In psychodynamic therapy, we’ll work together to uncover the emotional and psychological factors that might be disrupting your sleep, helping you understand what’s keeping you awake at night. Through this process, you can begin to find peace and develop healthier ways to relax, sleep, and restore your energy.
