One of the aspects of insomnia that can be both a perpetuating factor and and target for treatment is exploring dysfunctional beliefs. In this episode we will:

  • Explore different types of insomnia beliefs
  • Understand how these beliefs impact insomnia therapy
  • Look at the relationship between dysfunctional sleep beliefs and depression and alcohol abuse
  • Examine sleep beliefs in the general public as well as younger/university populations
  • Determine ways in which these beliefs can be targeted in insomnia therapy
