SLEEP IS A NATURAL PROCESS, SO…
When there is chronic sleep disruption, we
need to do detective work to figure out what is interfering with it.
3P MODEL OF SLEEP DISORDERS
PREDISPOSING CHARACTERISTICS
Inherited or acquired
PRECIPITATING EVENTS

What is maintaining the sleep interference?
Best place to intervene and to use CBT skills.
STIMULUS CONTROL
• For conditioned insomnia• Use Motivational Interviewing skills• Use Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy (ACT)
SLEEP RESTRICTION
More sleep is not the same as better sleep.
Not recommended for Bipolar D/Os.Use Motivational Interviewing skills.

5 COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS OF POOR SLEEPERS
Use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and ACT skills to
help clients change.
1) MY POOR SLEEP IS OUT OF MY CONTROL…
…And none of my choices or habits make a difference.
2) IF I DON’T SLEEP IT’S A DISASTER!!
3) ONLY “PERFECT” SLEEP IS GOOD SLEEP!
…And all other sleep is bad, no matter how rested I
actually feel.
4) “I CAN’T CONTROL MY SLEEP!!”
…So give me something that will!
5) I HAVE TO MAINTAIN BAD HABITS!!
…Because better habits will only make it worse!
