Rewiring Sleep: CBT-I Success Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. Writers describe the state they arrived in — years of broken nights, the pills that stopped working, the wind-down routines that had become superstition, the dread that began at dinnertime — and the scepticism they brought to the first session. There is the sleep diary and the arithmetic that produces a shortened sleep window, then the hardest fortnight: getting up in the dark, staying out of bed while exhausted, and the daytime cost that makes people abandon the programme. Writers describe what actually changed, usually somewhere in weeks three to six, and are precise about the cognitive work — the catastrophic thinking, the effort paradox, the relationship with the clock. Later chapters cover CBT-I alongside depression, pain, menopause and shift work, digital versus in-person delivery, and the courses that did not take.

Who it's for

For anyone with chronic insomnia, people about to start or midway through sleep restriction, and readers deciding between medication and behavioural treatment.
