Components of Treatment
Sleep Efficiency Re-Training
This is the part of treatment that is initially the least fun, but most effective. It adjusts your circadian rhythm to sleep more effectively and efficiently with the time that you are in bed.
Stimulus Control
Is based off the theory that our brain associates places and things with emotions and patterns. The association we want to strengthen is that the bed = sleep. And the association we want to break is that the act of sleeping = stress/worry.
Stress & Anxiety Management
A crucial part of the treatment that focuses on understanding our own unique stress and anxiety patterns and learning ways to cope. These may include worry journals, relaxation practices, exercise, and reframing our thoughts.
