Abstract:
Intensive Sleep Retraining is a behavioral treatment for sleep onset insomnia that produces substantial benefits in symptoms after a single treatment session. This technique involves falling asleep and waking up shortly afterward repeatedly: a process that is thought to retrain people to fall asleep quickly when attempting sleep. Although originally confined to the sleep laboratory, recent technological developments mean that this technique is feasible to self-administer at home. With multiple randomised controlled trials required to confirm its efficacy, Intensive Sleep Retraining may serve as an adjunctive treatment to cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, improving short-term efficacy by kick-starting treatment gains.
