Sleep disorder therapy explained
We all have nights where we find it difficult to fall asleep and keep waking in the night. For most these nights are in the minority and don’t have much of an affect on your everyday life. These odd occasions generally resolve themselves but for those that really struggle with sleep it can affect every minute of your day, and night.
Long stretches of bad sleep can cause extreme tiredness and make usually manageable tasks seem overwhelming. Lack of sleep can majorly affect your mental health and wellbeing leading to problems such as depression and anxiety. We can help you manage and resolve your sleep disorder, whether it’s affecting your day-to-day activities or your ability to do business, CBT sleep therapy can help.
Sleep is essential to good psychological and physical health and how much we sleep is different for us all and can change as we get older. If you have difficulty falling asleep, wake up multiple times at night or experience tiredness during the day even after long periods of sleep then sleep therapy will prove highly beneficial for you.
Insomnia and other sleep-related issues can be caused by or symptomatic of other serious issues, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders. That is why we take an integrated approach, blending scientifically-proven therapies to develop the most effective solution for you.

Our approach to treatment of sleep disorders
We believe that therapy is an effective treatment of sleep disorders. The use of therapy helps to target both the symptoms and the root cause behind your sleep problems.
We will work with you to identify environmental and behavioural factors which may affect your sleep quality. Through sleep therapy, we explore distorted thinking patterns which contribute to the surrounding anxieties exacerbating the problem. We teach you the skills and techniques to adjust your routines, thoughts and behaviours so that you can achieve a better night’s sleep.
Using cognitive behavioural therapy for sleep disorders
At Pinnacle we know that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and that each of our clients is different and has their own set of unique needs and circumstances. We use a combination of therapies for sleep disorders, one of the primary treatments is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
What is CBT and mindfulness CBT?
CBT, or mindfulness CBT as it is sometimes referred to, is about looking at the relationship between your thoughts and feelings, and how they make you ‘default’ to certain behaviours. It’s seen as a different kind of ‘talking therapy’ that aims to solve a person’s current problems. In effect it helps you become your own therapist, where you use the skills you have learned.
By using CBT, we can help make you aware of what your own defaults are: sometimes they help us, sometimes they don’t – CBT helps you recognise those different responses for what they are.

How does CBT help with sleep disorders?
CBT has good results when applied to someone suffering from a sleep disorder. Using cognitive therapy, your therapist can help you to tackle negative thought patterns you may direct at yourself or that you perceive from the world around you. By changing these negative thought patterns you can begin to resolve your sleep issues.
After you have recognised these negative thoughts and when they occur, you can work to replace them with something more rational and positive which will allow you to cope with your sleep disorder in a calm and controlled manner.
CBT is a way to rewire the software of your brain, rehearsing troubling situations in your mind in order to create alternative ways of thinking when that situation arises again. In effect, you’re creating new mental circuitry by challenging and changing old responses that feel hardwired in, but aren’t.
With CBT, the therapist acknowledges that there may be behaviours that you cannot control through rational thought. Rather, these harmful coping strategies are as a result of prior conditioning from the environment and other internal or external stimuli.
By taking (what can feel like) insurmountable tasks and teaching you how to apply a pragmatic and objective viewpoint to these issues, CBT gradually changes the way you look at everyday challenges.
What can you expect from a CBT sleep therapy session?
