Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) is a well-established, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. Unlike sleep medications, CBTI focuses on addressing the psychological and behavioral factors that contribute to insomnia, such as maladaptive thoughts, beliefs, and sleep habits.

CBTI typically involves a combination of techniques, including sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive therapy, and sleep hygiene education. The goal is to help individuals develop healthier sleep patterns and coping strategies to manage insomnia in the long term.
