FYM-How to Repair Sleep When CBTi Fails Putting Trauma to Sleep

Presented by: Dr. Jaan Reitav

Objectives

1.Understand that sleep intervention begins with a review of the consistency and stability of sleep patterns using the consensus sleep diary

2.Understand how to prescribe the initial key interventions of CBTi: i) consistent wake times, ii) limited time in bed, and iii) active transition into sleep

3.When sleep disruption does not respond to these interventions, know how to evaluate the three “enemies of sleep”: i) sleep apnea, ii) physical (body) distress, and iii) autonomic dysregulation

4.Be able to prioritize each of these to develop a plan for intervention
