Sleep Disorder
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

Sleep Disorder
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleep disorders can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, insomnia can worsen mood swings and decrease the ability to cope with stress, potentially exacerbating symptoms of depression. To support someone struggling with this problem, I would focus on identifying underlying causes of sleep disturbances and implementing lifestyle changes to promote better sleep hygiene. This may involve creating a consistent bedtime routine, reducing caffeine intake, and practicing relaxation techniques.

Sleep Disorder
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleeping disorders refer to various conditions disrupting normal sleep patterns, causing difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restful sleep. I'd assist someone struggling with sleeping disorders by initially evaluating the underlying factors contributing to their sleep disturbances. We'd explore any emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues affecting their sleep quality. Employing techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, we'd address negative thought patterns and behaviors hindering sleep. Moreover, I'd guide them in developing relaxation techniques, stress management strategies, and healthy sleep habits. By tackling underlying emotional and relational issues while promoting healthier sleep habits, the goal is to help them achieve better sleep and enhance overall well-being.
