Frequently Asked Questions
Can a psychologist help with sleep problems?
Yes, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended as first-line treatment and is more effective than sleeping pills in the long term. Treatment includes sleep hygiene, stimulus control, sleep restriction, and cognitive techniques.
How quickly does CBT-I treatment work?
Most people experience improvement within 4-8 sessions. Sleep quality may temporarily worsen at the start of treatment, but the effect is lasting, unlike sleeping medication, which often only works as long as you take it.
Are sleep problems connected to anxiety and depression?
Yes, sleep problems and mental health conditions often reinforce each other. Poor sleep can trigger or worsen anxiety and depression, while these conditions also cause sleep problems. Treating sleep can therefore improve overall mental health.
