Research context compiled from published sources
Targets the cognitive and behavioural factors that perpetuate insomnia. Sleep restriction consolidates sleep drive by limiting time in bed. Stimulus control re-associates the bed with sleep. Cognitive restructuring challenges catastrophic beliefs about sleep. Produces lasting neuroplastic changes in sleep-wake regulation, with effects that often outlast those of sleeping medication.
