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 Henrico 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 Henrico 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 Disrupts Normal Daily Activities

Doctors recommend getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep on a daily basis to keep us healthy and well-rested. Unfortunately for many people that’s not a reality and, for one reason or another, a clinical sleep disorder referred to as insomnia can occur. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, roughly one-third of the U.S. population suffers from some level of insomnia, while for people over the age of 60 it’s more like 50%. If you or someone you love suffers from insomnia, it can become a burden that impacts all other aspects of life, including personal relationships, school and work.

Symptoms of Insomnia Include these

Temporary insomnia may occur due to normal routine disruptions like jet lag, a work shift change or worrying. Chronic insomnia, on the flipside, is a more serious condition that impacts about 10% of us. Patients with chronic insomnia present with these symptoms:

  • Fatigue and lack of energy
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing on tasks
  • Decreased job, school or other activities performance
  • Memory loss
  • Mood swings affecting workplace and interpersonal relationships
  • Overall tired feeling during normal waking hours

Left untreated, chronic insomnia can begin affecting a person’s health, job performance, sex life and even ability to safely drive. Accidents and performance mistakes in many life situations are possible at that point. It’s estimated that over $63 billion in annual lost work productivity in the U.S. is due to insomnia. When you or a loved one fall under the spell of insomnia, it’s prudent to seek outside professional assistance, including outpatient counseling and coaching.

Effective Insomnia Treatments are Available

If you suffer from chronic insomnia, which means sleep deprivation issues lasting for more than 3 months, there are a number of reliable methods to overcome it. Many start with changing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that adversely alter normal sleep patterns. This process is known in clinical circles as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Here are a few approaches commonly used to combat insomnia:

  • There’s a strong correlation between depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Working on a CBT program that addresses all of those conditions together is advised.
  • Sleep in a room that’s dark, as sunlight produces biochemical responses in your body which can alter sleep. This is especially important when someone’s schedule requires sleeping during daylight hours.
  • Exercise routinely which will make your body feel tired when it’s time to sleep. People with insomnia tend to gain weight, so exercising will also help burn excess calories. In addition, exercise is a great way to reduce stress if that is tied to your insomnia.
  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine consumption within several hours of your normal bedtime.
  • Stay on a regular sleep schedule, or in other words go to bed around the same time every night.
  • Buy a more comfortable mattress that best conforms to your body’s needs.
  • Don’t consume a large meal prior to retiring to bed.
  • Have an in-lab sleep test conducted to better understand your sleep patterns.
  • Take sleeping pills or other medications when prescribed by a physician. However, they need to be taken per product labeling, and not as a long-term solution. Side effects with any prescription medications are possible, and sleeping pills are no exception.
  • Speak with a Thriveworks Short Pump insomnia counselor or coach about your issues with sleeplessness. They can help assess what’s interfering with your sleep, and recommend CBT lifestyle modifications.

When Insomnia Strikes Don’t Go it Alone!

Whether you choose to use any or all of the above recommendations, the bottom line is this: Don’t go it alone. Left untreated, your or your loved one’s chronic insomnia can become progressively more damaging, while the emotional, mental and even physical burden eventually becomes impossible to bear.

Latoya is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism are what makes her stand out from other therapists. She has a way of letting me tell my story from my point of view. Then, she will correct and make recommendations tactfully and respectfully. I am so grateful to have had her as my counselor over the last few years. I am a better version of myself because of her advice.

LaToya and I have connected right from the first session. She presents confidently and always makes me feel as if she's excited to see me. Her confidence makes me comfortable to talk with her and that she will direct and redirect me gently.

I have been working with Latoya for well over two years and have developed a professional relationship to where nothing feels forced, they remember important life events, and it feels like a genuine conversation. Its monumental in the process of therapy when an outside party I have never met prior to these circumstances is able to relate, identify, and talk through/strategize ways of coping.

The therapy I’m receiving from Latoya has helped so much in the way I navigate life and handle my emotions and feelings. She has provided effective tools for relaxing, breathing, reflecting and calming down. I was at a very low, despairing point in my life, lacking self-confidence and having feelings of low self-worth, when I first came to Latoya. Over the weeks and months of therapy I have begun to thrive, finding joy in the simple things of life, exploring new hobbies and reconnecting with family and friends. My life has taken on new meaning and purpose for which I am so grateful. Shoutout to Latoya for her encouragement, her positive energy and her affirmations. She is empathetic and has a genuine concern for her clients and a dedication to the work she does. Thank you Thriveworks for being here.
