What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is having difficulty falling or staying asleep for three or more nights in a week. Some people experience “acute insomnia” when the sleep difficulties have been experienced for less than three months while others experience “chronic insomnia” when their sleep problems last more than three months. The average person has a 30% chance of experiencing insomnia each year.
Either way, insomnia is a 24-hour disorder that negatively impacts energy, focus, mood, anxiety, and our responses to stressful and traumatic events.
Insomnia impacts us at school making learning more difficult and at work reducing our productivity. Among amateur and professional athletes, we see that insomnia can cause marked impairments in both performance and recovery.

What Is CBT-i?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment recommendation for individuals suffering from insomnia by both the American Medical Association (AMA) and American College of Physicians (ACP).
CBT-I is an 8-session treatment completed over a 10-week period. Each session is 45-minutes long and can be done in-person or via telehealth.
Research has shown that 60-80% of individuals receiving CBT-I will have a positive treatment response and – after only 8-weeks of treatment – individuals experience an average of 20% increase in deep sleep. Further, the effects of CBT-I are durable and long-lasting well after treatment ends with 70% of participants maintaining their gains after 2-years and 50%
maintaining their gains after 10-years. Thus, CBT-I is not only a treatment for current insomnia, but it teaches you the skills to address future sleeplessness too.
“NO MATTER HOW IMPORTANT SLEEP MAY BE, IT WAS ADAPTIVELY
DEFERRED WHEN THE MOUNTAIN LION ENTERED THE CAVE.”

What You Can Expect?
Over the course of 8-sessions you can expect to have higher-quality sleep at night and better energy throughout the day. Starting with a comprehensive evaluation of your sleep routine and history with insomnia, we will improve your relationship with sleep, reduce fears about lying awake at night, and allow sleep to return to something that “just happens.” We will assess your need for sleep and better align your sleep routine to both your natural circadian rhythm and the demands of your day.
