Sleep Restriction in CBT-I: Why “Time in Bed Restriction” Is the Real Treatment for Insomnia
If you live with insomnia, chances are you’ve tried the most intuitive solution already: going to bed earlier and staying in bed longer. Ironically, this often leads to less sleep. Enter the concept of “time in bed restriction,” a key component of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). This structured approach helps rebuild healthy sleep drive and strengthens the association between bed and sleep. Discover how adjusting your time in bed can transform your nights, restore trust in sleep, and ultimately lead to more restful slumber. Ready to reclaim your sleep? Let’s explore how CBT-I can help.
