CBT-I: A Proven Approach to Chronic Insomnia

Why structured behavioral treatment is central to evidence-based insomnia care.

What CBT-I is

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a structured treatment that addresses thoughts and behaviors that keep insomnia going. It may include stimulus control, carefully planned time-in-bed adjustments, relaxation methods, cognitive strategies, and education about sleep. It is more than a list of sleep-hygiene tips.

What guidelines say

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends multicomponent CBT-I for adults with chronic insomnia. The guideline gives this a strong recommendation and says sleep hygiene by itself should not be used as the sole treatment for chronic insomnia. See the 2021 AASM guideline in the references.

How people access it

CBT-I may be provided by a trained clinician, through telehealth, or through a structured digital program. A primary-care clinician can help identify a referral pathway and assess whether another sleep disorder should be evaluated at the same time. A supplement is not equivalent to CBT-I.
