Insomnia therapy FAQs

What is insomnia therapy?

Insomnia therapy is a tailored form of treatment that addresses chronic sleep disturbances, which can include problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restorative sleep. The goal of Insomnia therapy is to enhance sleep quality, establish healthy sleep routines, and, in turn, improve an individual’s overall well-being by mitigating and reducing the adverse effects of persistent sleep deprivation.

How does insomnia therapy work?

Insomnia therapy combines therapeutic approaches, with a central focus on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors, integrating techniques like stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation training. Thriveworks Alpharetta therapists will also emphasize sleep hygiene education and may include mindfulness and relaxation exercises to improve sleep quality, equipping individuals with effective strategies to enhance their sleep and overall well-being.

Symptoms of insomnia

Common symptoms of insomnia include:

  • Having a hard time falling asleep
  • Waking up in the middle of the night
  • Waking up earlier than desired
  • Bedtime anxiety about sleeplessness
  • Grogginess during the day due to lack of sleep

Should I go to therapy for insomnia?

Symptoms of insomnia often look different for everyone; however, there are some warning signs that can signal the need for insomnia therapy. These include feeling anxious about bedtime, bedtimes getting later and later, energy peaking at night rather than during the day, and drastic caffeine consumption in order to stay awake.

What is the best therapy for insomnia?

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective forms of therapy for treating insomnia, working to modify sleep-disrupting thoughts and behaviors through strategies like sleep hygiene and sleep restriction.

Is insomnia therapy conducted in person or online?

Insomnia therapy at Thriveworks Alpharetta is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long should you go to therapy for insomnia?

The duration of insomnia therapy can vary based on the individual’s needs and progress in treatment. Typically, it involves a short series of sessions over a few weeks to a couple of months, with the number and length of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist. Some experience better sleep within this time, while others choose longer therapy to address complex sleep issues or maintain good sleep habits.

How long does CBT take to work for insomnia?

Many people start to see improvements in their sleep patterns after about two to three weeks of CBT-I. However, the duration and effectiveness will differ for everyone, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer to have a strong effect.

Insomnia and What Causes It

Each case of insomnia is different. Certain people cannot fall asleep. Others cannot stay asleep. Still, others seemingly sleep well, but instead of waking rested, they are exhausted in the morning.

A variety of life circumstances or health issues can trigger insomnia, or sleep disturbances sometimes occur on their own.

Stress often brings about insomnia. Significant life events can easily set off sleep disturbances. Think about what has been happening in your life? Have you had a change in job, family, finances, or living situation?

Unfortunately, other health problems and changes can trigger insomnia as a side effect. Menopause, depression, and hyperthyroidism are a few examples of health problems that may bring about sleep disturbances.

Occasionally, insomnia develops on its own, without concurrent health issues.

Anyone who suffers from sleep disturbances also may face the difficulties they cause in daily life.

 

Insomnia’s Side Effects

People who suffer from insomnia may find that they have:

  • Increased risk for common health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more.
  • Irritability and strained relationships. Insomnia may also decrease sex drive.
  • Inability to focus and impaired judgment that may lead to low job performance.

Do these side effects from sleep deprivation sound familiar? Have you experienced any of these as a result of your insomnia? Many people find relief from insomnia and its side effects through insomnia counseling. If you are experiencing difficulties because of insomnia’s side effects, the therapists at Alpharetta, GA are ready to help.

How Insomnia Therapy May Help

Our therapists follow a thorough, two-step approach. First, our therapists want their clients to find practical sleep solutions. You need to sleep—and soon, so we work with you to adjust your habits or schedule in a way that can optimize sleeping conditions. Second, our therapists have helped many clients work toward long-term sleep success by identifying the insomnia’s underlying cause.

Our therapists work with their clients to form a customized sleep plan—practical solutions that cultivate optimal conditions for sleep. Sleep plans can consist of…

  • Sleep hygiene: Getting more sleep may mean making some changes in your daily routine. Good sleep hygiene may look like reducing caffeine or alcohol intake or possibly exercising more. Our counselors have helped their clients find routines that work for their days and nights.
  • Relaxation training: People can grow in awareness of how to their body and mind fall asleep. Over time and with professional help, our clients may begin to focus their mind on relaxing thoughts that help them fall asleep.
  • Sleep climate: The environment where people sleep can prohibit or facilitate rest. People are affected by light, temperature, and sounds in their bedroom. By working with a counselor, many people have found that adjusting their sleep climates aids their rest.

Mark has been a constant for me over the past two years. In 2024 when I first started my anxiety/mental health journey, I was very lost. Mark was always there to support me and help walk me through those moments of being stuck in my own head. The anxiety isn't gone, but it doesn't control me anymore. And all of that is in thanks to Mark!
