Description

We’ve all heard the sleep hygiene advice: turn off your screens, keep your room cool, avoid caffeine after lunch. While we can agree that these practices set the stage for better sleep, does engaging in them actually help those with sleep problems?  In this episode we will:

• Examine the intended role of sleep hygiene
• Look at what research tell us in terms of using sleep hygiene as a tool for insomnia treatment
• Dive into what it means for an insomnia therapy to work
• Differentiate between actions geared at changing sleep behaviors and actions geared towards changing interpretations of sleep behaviors
