Insomnia affects 20% to 30% of the American population each year, and 10% have chronic insomnia that has lasted several months or even years. Many people find sleep medications and over-the-counter supplements ineffective, but there are effective non-medicinal treatments many people don’t know about. In 2016, The American College of Physicians reviewed all treatments for insomnia and found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to be the safest, most effective and durable treatment for insomnia.
Sleep is logical, and it follows rules. The problem is that no one teaches us the rules of sleep. This 75-minute presentation and discussion will teach you how sleep works and what you can do to prevent a short bout of insomnia from becoming a chronic problem.
