How To Beat Insomnia and Sleep Problems: A Brief, Evidence-based Self-help Treatment

Description

Accessible and trustworthy support for sufferers of insomnia and other sleep difficulties. Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), initiated in 2008, has made psychological therapy more accessible to those in need. This series of self-help titles is the first to be created specifically for low-intensity IAPT and all titles follow an evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach which is the treatment of choice for depression and anxiety disorders. All titles are written by authors with considerable experience in the field of CBT self-help research, training and clinical practice. This book is the perfect resource for helping you beat insomnia and sleep problems, either by yourself or in conjunction with the support of an IAPT service. The book is written in a friendly, engaging (and jargon-free!) style and encourages interactive reading through tables, illustrations and worksheets. Real-life case studies illustrate the use of each intervention and demonstrate how you can work through your sleep problems. This book will help you to understand your sleep cycle, and learn techniques to get back to a better night's sleep.
