Hello,
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Research has shown CBT to be as effective or more effective than sleep medications in treating chronic insomnia. It involves educating you on sleep and better sleep habits while teaching you to change the beliefs and behaviors that interfere with your ability to sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
