Many people suffer from insomnia, which is often driven by change, especially change that affects relationships, employment, or family dynamics. Cognitive behavioral techniques can help people who have insomnia identify what those changes are and develop strategies that promote sleep, such as practicing good sleep hygiene, stimulus control, and sleep restriction. In this Aliquot, clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Mason and sleep expert Dr. Matt Walker describe some of the behaviors that can make getting a good night's sleep difficult – and how cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation can provide help.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
