Description
In any given year, 30% of the US population experiences some challenges with insomnia. Despite its high incidence and prevalence, effective treatments remain limited and access to the most successful treatment (CBT-I) is particularly challenging. This program will focus on non-pharmacological interventions for people with insomnia, which can be provided by counselors and psychologists. Brief interventions from comprehensive CBT-I will be presented to support working with clients toward improving their sleep (Morin et al, 2009). Recent trends in behavioral sleep medicine have demonstrated some movement beyond basic CBTI, particularly for people with comorbid psychiatric disorders and these interventions also will be introduced (Ashworth et al, 2015; Harvey et al, 2016).
Training elements include:
Biopsychosocial model of insomnia and dysregulated sleep
Sleep restriction and compression
Stimulus control therapy
Behavioral activation and sustaining daytime wakefulness
Learning Objectives
·Identify the three major elements of the Speilman model of insomnia and how these elements influence response to treatment and prognosis.
·Summarize the physiological and psychological systems that can contribute to sleep dysregulation.
·Describe the factors that contribute to sleep regulation that can be addressed within therapy.
·Report the process of measuring sleep in a sleep diary and assessing sleep improvement.
·Calculate sleep efficiency and set prescriptive time in bed.
Audience
Psychologists, social workers, and counselors will be equipped with skills for working with their clients who report insomnia and interventions to improve sleep. Professionals will also gain the capacity to differentiate when more complicated intervention or referral for a sleep specialist may be required.
