Sleep Therapy

Sleep disturbances are a major health concern. Three out of ten adults in western Europe are suffering from sleep related problems.

CBT-I

CBT-I is an abbreviation for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. It is also used for other sleep related disorders characterised by insomnia symptoms. It aims at changing negative or false perceptions and behaviors related to sleep.
