This program is a good fit for people who have trouble falling and/or staying asleep, and/or don’t wake up feeling rested. It is designed for people who are willing to work through the steps of the program, who understand that this is not a quick fix, and want a long-term solution using a natural, evidence-based approach without prescribed sleep medications or supplements.

Those who are motivated to make meaningful changes in their life and understand that consistent, quality sleep is essential not just for day-to-day energy, but for physical, mental, and emotional well-being as well as long-term healthspan would be a great fit for the Better Sleep program.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the small, natural variation in the time between your heartbeats. More importantly, it's one of the clearest signals of how flexible your nervous system is. Higher HRV reflects a system that can downshift easily into "rest and digest" mode; chronic insomnia often involves a nervous system stuck in overdrive, which is part of why sleep won't come even when you're exhausted. Because falling asleep depends on that shift into a calmer state, training your HRV — strengthening your ability to settle your nervous system on demand — can make sleep easier to reach. Studies show that improved HRV is associated with reduced stress and anxiety, better emotional regulation, and better quality sleep.

Inadequate sleep can affect far more than energy. Over time, insufficient or poor-quality sleep is associated with increased risk for health concerns such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, dementia, and difficulty with focus, mood, and daytime functioning.

Poor sleep can also affect emotional regulation and stress tolerance, leading to career burnout, and/or relationship problems.

Consistent, good-quality sleep supports mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Many people notice better energy, clearer thinking, improved mood, greater resilience to stress, better emotional regulation, and an improved ability to feel present in their daily life and relationships.

This program is designed to help clients fall asleep more easily, wake less often during the night, feel naturally sleepy at bedtime, wake more refreshed, and not feel anxious about sleep. CBT-I is currently the most effective way to treat insomnia. Clinical studies show that it has a success rate of up to 80%. Studies also show that working one-on-one with a nurse and incorporating mindfulness into the treatment can further increase chances of success. This program is designed to give patients the best chance of success by incorporating all of the best practices for CBT-I.

For medications such as Benzodiazepines (Restoril, Halcion) as well as Amiben, Lunesta, and Sonata, most guidelines are 2-4 weeks maximum. Not only is there a risk of tolerance and rebound insomnia, but sleep medications don’t actually produce restorative sleep, they simply produce a sedated state.

This program is designed to help clients work toward more natural, reliable sleep. When appropriate, Rebecca can coordinate with a client’s current prescriber for those who want to reduce dependence on sleep medication safely.

Yes, in fact, CBT-I can be quite beneficial for those being treated for depression and/or anxiety. Studies show that, for those with anxiety, improving sleep through CBT-I caused a moderate reduction in anxiety symptoms. In clinical studies with people who had depression and insomnia, CBT-I more than doubled the odds of response to depression treatment. Additionally, CBT-I reduced the risk of depression recurrence by 50%.

If you are currently being treated for depression or anxiety, the complimentary call is a good place to discuss whether this program is the right fit for your current needs.

If you are currently undergoing treatment for PTSD, this program is not the right fit at this time.

Once your treatment is complete, you may participate in the Better Sleep Program.

This program is not appropriate for those with untreated sleep apnea, current substance abuse issues, seizure or panic disorders, those being treated for bipolar disorder, or anyone with an unstable psychiatric disorder.

Insomnia is often brought on by a stressful life event. Sometimes, the things people do to cope with poor sleep, such as going to bed earlier, taking naps, or drinking alcohol to feel sleepy, can actually make things worse.

This can create more anxiety about sleep, which may further reinforce the cycle.

Better sleep can support metabolic health, energy, appetite regulation, and consistency with healthy habits.

Many people try different remedies and are left feeling like their sleep problems are unfixable.

The truth is that insomnia is often a learned pattern, and learned patterns can be changed. Sleep hygiene tips, supplements, and even sleep medications may be widely marketed, but they do not have the same level of scientific support for treating insomnia as CBT-I.

CBT-I is the most well-established treatment available for insomnia.

Many people notice changes within the first 1 to 2 weeks, but consistent, lasting sleep improvement usually develops over several weeks as patterns are retrained.

This program uses an evidence-based approach, and CBT-I helps many people, but results can vary based on factors such as consistency, fit, and whether there are other untreated issues affecting sleep.
