Listen "Insomnia: Treatment Options for a Better Night’s Sleep"

Episode Synopsis

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is much more than changing a few sleep hygiene habits. CBT-I involves working with a health care provider trained in the behavioral treatment of insomnia, usually over the course of four to six visits, to change habits, behavior and thinking that influence biological factors affecting your sleep.Today, both Mary Beshara, MSN, and Michael Schmitz, PsyD, are here to talk with us about the types of therapy used to treat insomnia.
Although they are unique in their own way, both therapies complement each other by providing expanding services that Allina Health provides depending on the patients’ need or desire.
