Description

<p>Chronic Insomnia Disorder is typically treated using sleep medications, and psychological treatment is rarely conducted for this disorder. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective treatment for insomnia symptoms and for reduction in dosage of hypnotics. It also recommended a well-established standard-level and first choice treatment. Recently, it has been revealed that CBT-I is effective for insomnia comorbid with psychiatric (e.g., depression and PTSD) or physical disorders (e.g., cancer and chronic pain). This paper discusses the components of CBT-I and its effectiveness in treating primary and comorbid insomnia.</p>
