Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) is endorsed by the NHS as the first line of treatment for insomnia. Indeed, evidence from many studies around the world have shown that CBTI is more effective than medication in treating insomnia.

​

Trouble falling or staying asleep is extremely common and can affect as many as 1 in 3 people. Maybe you have always had difficulties with sleep or maybe it started after a stressful period in your life. Whatever your circumstances, sleep problems can cause distress and leave you struggling to cope with the demands of everyday life. Lack of sleep can really slow you down and everything takes more energy- energy which is in really short supply to start with. Not getting sufficient rest takes its toll on the body and you can feel unable to think straight. This in turn can make you more stressed, affecting sleep quality, and you become caught in an ongoing negative spiral. However, you do not have to put up with this.
