The Clinician's Guide to Cognitive and Behavioural Therapeutics (CBTx) for Insomnia from Section 4 - Treating Insomnia Using the CBTx Approach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2024
Many patients will have received sleep hygiene, or at least be aware of it. Although it is minimally effective as a stand-alone treatment for insomnia, along with sleep education, it is an important part of multicomponent CBT. They both help contextualise other key therapeutics within CBT (e.g., sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control therapy, or the evening wind-down routine). The chapter covers the key lifestyle and bedroom factors that comprise sleep hygiene, and how to communicate these to patients. Next, this chapter introduces the ‘5 principles’ of good sleep health, which describe the importance of (1) valuing, (2) prioritising, (3) personalising, (4) trusting, and (5) protecting sleep as a framework for supporting good sleep.
