Epilepsy Society: Cognitive behavioural therapy is a talking therapy that helps you
manage problems by changing the way you think and behave. Cognitive
behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is about changing the way you
think about sleep and then addressing any dysfunctional sleep habits and
anxieties. People think that insomnia is not fixable without drugs, that they
will never re-establish a healthy sleep/wake balance. But this is almost
never the case, even with conditions such as epilepsy. The important
thing to remember is that whatever causes insomnia, it is not a barrier
to it getting better.
