Insomnia disorder is one of the most prevalent and costly sleep disorders worldwide. It is also associated with increased risk for a range of physical and psychological conditions. Despite Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) being the first line treatment for the management of insomnia, its progress has been hampered by few trained clinicians.

The aim of this course is to provide the relevant information from which the learner can identify and assess cases of insomnia and manage cases using the principles of CBT-I). The first day of the workshop will introduce the concept and diagnosis of insomnia disorder, as well as some of the models of insomnia that underpin the use of CBT-I. Then there will be guidance on assessment, including information on other sleep disorders and co-morbidities. The last part of day one will examine when and when not to do CBT-I and introduce you to all the tools you need to undertake CBT-I. Day two will be solely focused on the elements and delivery of CBT-I.

Over 2 days we will learn how to:-


Define Insomnia Disorder and it’s subtypes

Be able to assess for Insomnia Disorder and  other sleep disorders masking as insomnia (e.g. Restless Legs Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Narcolepsy) – and identify who is and who is not a suitable candidate for CBT-I

Conduct CBT-I under peer supervision, including note and case studies

Determine when brief therapies and adjunct therapies are needed
