About Psychophysiological Insomnia

Psychophysiological Insomnia treatment is a specialized psychological intervention designed to address a common sleep disorder where the mind and body's learned associations prevent restful sleep. Performed by a licensed psychologist, this non-invasive, evidence-based therapy focuses on breaking the cycle of anxiety and hyperarousal linked to bedtime. The core approach involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which combines cognitive restructuring to change unhelpful beliefs about sleep with behavioral techniques like stimulus control and sleep restriction. The psychologist works collaboratively with the patient to identify and modify the conditioned factors, such as excessive worry about sleep and poor sleep habits, that perpetuate the insomnia. This treatment aims to restore a healthy sleep pattern without medication, promoting long-term improvement in sleep quality and daytime functioning.

PATIENT REVIEW

Navya Davis, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Navya Davis, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been a light sleeper, but her insomnia worsened dramatically after a company restructuring increased her workload and stress. For six months, she lay awake for hours each night, her mind racing with deadlines and code problems. She felt exhausted, irritable, and began making uncharacteristic errors at work. Her primary doctor ruled out physical causes and recommended a psychologist specializing in psychophysiological insomnia. The psychologist explained that Navya had developed a conditioned anxiety around sleep itself, her bed had become a cue for worry, not rest. Treatment involved Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), including stimulus control (only using the bed for sleep), sleep restriction to rebuild drive, and cognitive restructuring to challenge her catastrophic thoughts about sleeplessness. The first weeks were challenging as she adjusted to the new schedule, but gradually, her sleep drive strengthened. After eight weeks, Navya was falling asleep within 30 minutes and sleeping 7 hours most nights. Emotionally, she transformed from a desperate, anxious insomniic who dreaded nighttime to someone who felt in control of her sleep and her stress, regaining her confidence at work and her joy in quiet evenings.
