Is it possible to treat sleep problems without medication? The answer is YES! When you're desperate for sleep, it can be tempting to reach for a sleeping pill or an over-the-counter sleep aid. But sleep medication won't cure the problem or address the underlying symptoms—in fact, it can often make sleep problems worse in the long term. In this episode, we're joined by clinical psychologist, Dr. Shelby Harris, to help and guide us through CBT-I. We'll tackle how this form of therapy can help everyone from children to adults.
