This video was inspired by a comment left by a viewer of this channel — Anthony Delvecchio. He wanted to know how you should respond if you are making progress with CBT-I but then experience a relapse.<br /><br />The solution is quite simple — you recommit to the CBT-I techniques that you have found to be effective. However, it's also important to bear in mind that everyone has a bad night of sleep every now and again. So, a night of bad sleep isn't a sign that your insomnia has returned.<br /><br />As long as you don't do anything to try to compensate for a bad night of sleep, your sleep will usually recover by itself. If, after a couple of weeks, it does not, then you can reimplement the CBT-I techniques that you found to be helpful and led to improvements in your sleep.<br /><br />What is CBT-I?

The solution is quite simple — you recommit to the CBT-I techniques that you have found to be effective. However, it’s also important to bear in mind that everyone has a bad night of sleep every now and again. So, a night of bad sleep isn’t a sign that your insomnia has returned.

As long as you don’t do anything to try to compensate for a bad night of sleep, your sleep will usually recover by itself. If, after a couple of weeks, it does not, then you can reimplement the CBT-I techniques that you found to be helpful and led to improvements in your sleep.
