October 28th 2025 12:00-1:00 PM MST Research indicates that instances of Insomnia are increasing within the general population, with a recent meta-analysis suggesting the prevalence rate of Insomnia is 12.4%. Another recent meta-analysis found that 50-80% of outpatients with a psychiatric diagnosis suffer from Insomnia. In spite of the high rates of Insomnia, many psychologists report that they have not received formal training to treat this sleep disorder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is considered a first-line treatment for chronic Insomnia. Within a CBT-I framework, Dr. Spiegel will address key factors that contribute to the maintenance of Insomnia. The presentation will also explain CBT-I’s key treatment strategies to enhance sleep, including: stimulus control, sleep restriction, as well as cognitive and behavioral-related interventions, which are all based on up-to-date research. In light of the high rates of Insomnia within clinical populations, CBT-I as an effective intervention will also be analyzed within the context of potential comorbid diagnoses (i.e., anxiety, depression, PTSD) that are negatively impacting sleep.
