  2. When you are tired and in desperate need of sleep, it can be very tempting to reach for a sleeping pill so that you can finally have some rest. But sleep medication will not help in curing the problem or addressing the underlying symptoms that will make your sleep problems worse in the long term. What is a Sleep Disorder? A sleep disorder is a problem that impacts your ability to get enough quality sleep which ultimately leaves you feeling exhausted or sleepy throughout the day. Some of the most common types of sleep disorders are – Insomnia Sleep apnea Narcolepsy Restless legs syndrome (RLS) Circadian rhythm triggered by shift work or jet lag It is very important to visit a therapist for sleep disorder treatment in Singapore or anywhere that you reside because a therapist will provide you with effective ways to cope with this problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Sleeping Disorders Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most common type of therapy that is used to cure sleep disorders. This therapy can be conducted individually or in a group of people. The causes and symptoms of sleep disorders vary from person to person; CBT always caters to your specific problems. The length of therapy usually depends on the type and severity of your sleep disorder. Cognitive behavioral therapy is rarely an immediate or easy cure but it is relatively short-term. Many CBT treatment programs for insomnia require a course of 5 to 8 weekly sessions. How Does CBT Work? CBT helps you challenge the negative thinking patterns that contribute to your disturbed sleeping patterns. This form of therapy helps you reduce these negative thoughts with more realistic and happy thoughts so that you can improve your sleeping habits.

  3. CBT helps you recover from the sleep disorder in three easy steps – 1. Identify your Negative Thoughts If you have sleep disorders such as insomnia then the biggest reason for this problem can be the negative thoughts that act as an obstacle when you are trying to sleep. In this condition, people perceive the negative thoughts as greater than they usually are and this is the reason why they stay awake. Cognitive behavioral therapy works by identifying these problems so that you can work on them and eradicate them so that you can finally have a peaceful sleep. 2. Challenging your Negative Thoughts The second step involves your therapist teaching you how to evaluate your sleep-disrupting thoughts so that you can have a peaceful sleep and improve your health. This step involves questioning the evidence for your thoughts and then analyzing unhelpful beliefs so that you can get out of that phase. 3. Replacing Negative Thoughts with Realistic Thoughts After the therapist has identified the negative distortions in your thoughts, they offer different ways by which you can replace your negative thoughts with more realistic and positive thoughts. Your therapist also helps find ways by which you can come up with realistic, calming statements that you can say to yourself as you're preparing for sleep. Conclusion Sleep disorders like insomnia can be very serious conditions as they cause very harmful effects on your mind as well as your body. Sleep disorders can affect your ability to think or to function properly. This is the reason why every sleep or mental disorder should be taken seriously. If you have a problem with anxiety then you should consider visiting a good therapist for anxiety counselling in Singapore or anywhere that you reside so that you can get rid of this problem at early stages.
