Sleep: A Clinical Guide

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment recommended by NICE for chronic insomnia, ahead of sleeping medication. Research indicates around 60 to 80 per cent of people achieve clinically significant improvement. This guide covers the neuroscience of sleep, the two-process model, the QQRT framework, when sleeplessness becomes clinical insomnia, conditioned hyperarousal, and what the evidence supports. At The Lyceum, BABCP-accredited CBT treats the anxiety, stress and hyperarousal that drives and maintains most chronic insomnia. Written by Sanah Younis, BABCP-accredited CBT therapist. Sessions: £110 online, £140 face-to-face. Free 15-minute consultation at lyceumclinic.co.uk/start.
