Does counting sheep leave you wide awake? Do you wake up feeling unrested, even after a full night in bed? If so, you might be struggling with insomnia, a condition characterised by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

While frustrating, insomnia is treatable, and effective sleep therapy can be the key to unlocking a good night’s rest. At York Therapy Clinic, our sleep therapists in York will help you to obtain optimal sleep, increase sleep quality, and develop a healthy sleep schedule.

Understanding Sleep Therapy

Sleep therapy uses a number of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I), which are specifically designed to address sleep problems.

During sessions with one of our sleep therapists, you’ll explore the root causes of your insomnia and develop personalised strategies for achieving healthy sleep patterns. These strategies for better sleep include:

• Cognitive Restructuring: Negative thoughts about sleep can exacerbate insomnia. Sleep therapy can help you identify and challenge these thoughts, replacing them with more realistic and helpful beliefs.
• Relaxation Techniques: Learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to calm your mind and body before bed.
• Sleep Hygiene: Developing good sleep habits is crucial for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. Sleep therapists guide you in establishing a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and optimizing your sleep environment.

Sleep therapy offers numerous benefits beyond simply falling asleep faster. By improving your sleep quality, you’ll experience increased energy levels, better focus, improved mood, and a strengthened immune system.
