If you’ve been living with insomnia for a long time, it’s likely that you have formed an association between the bed and wakefulness and anxiety — rather than sleep and relaxation.

A common symptom of this learned association is a feeling of alertness as soon as you go to bed, even though you may have been feeling very sleepy before going to bed.

Implementing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques will help you ‘relearn’ to associate the bed with sleep and relaxation and improve your sleep over the long-term.
