CBT sleep workshop for Insomnia: A workshop to help improve your quality of sleep!!

The workshop will be interactive and will be made up of the following sections:

1. Sleep facts. Information about sleep which forms the basis for the strategies presented during the rest of the workshop
2. Environment. How the environment and lifestyles can impact on sleep, and what you can do about it.
3. Sleep diary. A review of a sleep diary participants will be asked to keep a week prior to the workshop. The diary will be used to develop an individualized sleep schedule.
4. Thinking. How a racing mind and worry hinders sleep, how to address this, and a discussion of beliefs around sleep.
5. Feelings and Sensations. How to optimise sleep by developing a wind down time before bed, and relaxation strategies.
6. Pulling it all together. Creating a new realistic individualized sleep management programme.

Research into the efficacy of the CBTi approach has shown over 70% of attendees report significantly improved sleep after implementing the strategies.

Around a month after the workshop you will be offered a brief follow up telephone conversation to review the strategies and to see if any further assistance is required..
