How Can Insomnia Therapy Help You Sleep Better?
Insomnia therapy typically ranges from 6 to 8 one hour sessions. It consists of 3 phases. In the first phase, you will be asked alot of questions about your sleep habits and will be asked to complete a log of your sleep for one week. A treatment plan will be proposed after getting to know your sleep habits at the end of phase one (typically 2 sessions).
The second phase of treatment consists of education about insomnia and gradually introducing behavioral changes to your sleep routine (typically 4-5 sessions). This might mean trying to go to bed at the same time and waking at the same time daily, implementing a wind down routine before bed, learning to enjoy your mornings, or taking screen time devices out of the bedroom. You will be asked to track your sleep in a daily log. Dr. Mohorovic will work with you to ensure these changes match your needs and respect any health challenges. You typically start seeing changes in the quantity and quality of sleep after 2 sessions of phase two.
The third phase of treatment entails a review of the skills learned, gains made, and focuses on how to anticipate obstacles that might affect your sleep (typically 1-2 sessions). Follow up sessions to ensure you are sticking to your new sleep habits are scheduled as needed.
