Who Is a Good Candidate for Sleep Therapy?

If you’re suffering from insomnia or another sleep disorder, you may be a good candidate for sleep therapy. The best candidates for the treatment are looking to identify the cause(s) of their sleep problems and develop effective solutions. To be an ideal candidate for sleep therapy, it’s important that you’re willing to commit yourself to changing certain things about the way you behave and/or think to achieve healthier sleep. Before your sleep therapy begins, one of our sleep medicine specialists will sit down with you for an appointment. They’ll ask you questions about your health, medical history, and the specifics of your sleep troubles. This will help them determine if cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is the right choice for you.

What Are the Symptoms of Bad Sleep?

Bad sleep can affect almost every aspect of your life, from your relationships and work life to your mental health and well-being. Symptoms of sleep deprivation include:

  • Falling asleep at odd times of the day, such as while at work or when reading
  • Feelings of fatigue and lethargy
  • Frequent yawning
  • Irritability
  • Changes in your mood
  • Feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and paranoia
  • Suicidal feelings
  • Reduced motivation to get things done
  • Reduced interest in sex
  • Poor memory
  • Disorganized thoughts and speech
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Loss of balance
  • Increased appetite
  • Cravings for sugar and caffeine

Understanding Sleep Insomnia 

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can manifest in a variety of different ways. Some people only have difficulty falling asleep at night, while others wake up too early or wake up multiple times during the night. A diagnosis of insomnia is usually based on the patient’s sleep-related troubles during the day, such as poor concentration, depression, or excessive daytime sleepiness. While the majority of people experience insomnia symptoms occasionally, people with chronic insomnia struggle with sleepless nights almost on a daily basis, which can significantly impact their quality of life and lead to a higher risk of substance abuse, chronic pain, heart disease, and diabetes.

Cognitive Interventions

Sometimes, the way a person thinks about sleep can be a primary cause of their insomnia. To correct this, sleep therapy may involve cognitive restructuring aimed at reducing problematic thoughts about sleep.

Behavioral Interventions

Oftentimes, insomnia is the result of suboptimal lifestyle or sleep habits. To address this, sleep therapy can include reducing stimulants before bed, finding effective ways to relax at night, and developing other healthy sleep habits. This type of sleep therapy may include breathing exercises, meditation, hypnosis, and other techniques.

Psychoeducational Interventions

For many patients, sleep therapy will involve learning about the connections between their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and sleep. Gaining an understanding of these connections and how they work can often help people develop the tools they need to improve their sleep quality.

Is sleep therapy safe?

How long does it take for sleep therapy to start working?

It’s important to understand that sleep therapy isn’t always a quick, simple process. Because sleep disorders like insomnia can have so many causes, sleep therapy can require trial and error to find the solutions that work best for the individual. Your sleep therapist will likely have you try multiple techniques and/or lifestyle changes, and there’s no guarantee that the first ones you try will be effective. However, if you’re committed to the process, the eventual results will be more than worth the effort.

Can developing a healthier lifestyle reduce insomnia?

Yes. In many cases, improving your lifestyle can be a major part of sleep therapy. This can include changes such as eating healthier, drinking more water, and reducing your stress.

Is sleep therapy safe?

Sleep therapy is completely safe, and at Meliora, the process is always monitored by our sleep medicine experts. Altering the way you think and behave during sleep therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but it does not pose any real risks.
