Numerous speakers, including Mayo Clinic, just recently ranked #1 in the US, have integrated its CBT-I with EHR for treating chronic insomnia. Mayo Clinic‘s findings demonstrated the importance of feedback and interaction with patients, especially feedback about self-selected changes to behavior, e.g., progress, nudge/rewards.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a short, structured, evidence-based approach to cure insomnia. CBT-I explores the connection between how we think, what we do, and how we sleep. It is a multi-component treatment because it combines several different approaches, involving cognitive intervention, behavioral intervention, and psychoeducational intervention. During treatment, a trained CBT-I provider helps identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing to insomnia symptoms. The provider will examine the shared beliefs and emotions to see if they’re accurate and review the behaviors to see if they promote sleep. The process aims to clarify or reframe misconceptions and challenges in a way that is more conducive to restful sleep. Treatment often takes 6-8 sessions, although the length may vary depending on a person’s needs.
CBT-I is a collaborative process, and the skills learned in sessions require practice. Homework is a common component of treatment.
Assignments in-between sessions may involve:
- Keeping a sleep diary.
- Practicing questioning automatic thoughts or beliefs when they arise.
- Improving sleep hygiene practices.
Access the patients’ sleep architecture
Belun® Ring can become a patient’s digital sleep diary. It records what happened every night. Does the patient have insomnia because they cannot fall asleep quickly, do not sleep well, or have difficulty falling asleep again after waking up? Adopting the ring empowers the doctor with quality data (Belun’s sleep data is medical grade) to determine the cause of insomnia more accurately, instead of relying solely on the patient’s description out of sheer memory or guessing. The ring is a digital tool providing scientific data to support diagnosis, thus improving clinical decision-making.
