Which means, if you see a sleep doctor, they are more likely to recommend a six week course in CBT-I than write a prescription for something like Ambien.<\/p>\n<p>While it can seem a little daunting to start, research has shown CBT-I to be more effective at curing insomnia than medication, and it usually lasts much longer, too.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, join Adria as she explains what the CBT-I process looks like, how you can get started, and what to do if a therapist is not accessible to you.
