Achieve a better night’s rest with sleep CBT at Neumo.
Problems with sleep are costing you more than you might realize
Quality sleep is essential to our wellbeing. According to the American Sleep Association, a third of all adults report getting less than 7 hours of sleep a night. Furthermore, they go on to suggest the average adult needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. Studies suggest that poor sleep costs employers money, increase the risk of falling sleep during driving, create conflict in relationships, and negatively impact your health. While you may be able to function with sleep problems, it certainly is not promoting the best version of yourself. Start feeling better and doing better today by working with sleep therapist using sleep CBT (cognitive behavioral Therapy).
What can sleep therapy do for you.
Remember when sleep was easy? You probably did not have to think about a bed time or a time when you had to get up. There was no stress or pressure when thinking about how sleep may or may not go tonight. Staring at the ceiling or waking up in the middle of the night without being able to fall back asleep was a myth. You would wake up feeling rested and ready for the day. Let a sleep therapist help you return to those glory days. Or better yet, use sleep CBT to create a sleep quality you may have never experienced before.
How does sleep therapy work at Neumo?
Sleep therapy starts by working together to identify your current sleep routine. The next step is to identify barriers to sleep and create an individualized plan to reach your sleep goals. Using sleep CBT, we will review current stressors and you will learn skills to be able to manage them so that they do not cause interruption during your sleep. A review of various lifetstyle factors will help to identify changes that may be effective to improve sleep. Over time, you will develop plans to help start new habits, such as increasing exercise or mindfulness practices (see our mindfulness blog), that have also been proven to be effective in improving sleep architecture. In short, we will take an expanded snapshot of your current lifestyle and work to increase research backed changes to promote a better quality and quantity of sleep.

Like it or not, our sleep requirements, timing, and even cycles change as we age. As much as you might like to return to your adolescent glory years of deep sleep whenever and wherever, you may never be able to return to such times. However, this does not mean that all is lost. We can still work together to find the ideal habits to figure out what your body needs at this current stage of life.
What if there is something else causing my problems with sleep that you did not mention above?

That said, there is progress to be had even if we exhaust every avenue of sleep CBT in seeking a source of sleep disturbance.
