Event Description
Sleep is one of the cornerstones of physical and mental health, yet over one third of the population struggles to initiate and/or maintain routine sleep. Clinicians are increasingly confronted with the perpetuating impact of anxiety, stress, pain and illness on sleep initiation and continuity and how this can lead to persistent daytime dysfunction. Approximately fifteen percent of adults suffer with chronic insomnia, a ratio that increases with age. Many patients turn to prescription sleep medications, which often have initial benefits, but lose potency over time. This presentation will outline the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Insomnia, which is a mindfulness-based method for sleep that has demonstrated efficacy. This approach to sleep treatment is growing in its application as an alternative to pharmacological interventions. In this presentation we will cover:
1. Sleep architecture, sleep hygiene and featured of disordered sleep
2. Integration of Cognitive Behavioral and Experiential/Meditative methods
3. Informal mindfulness and brief daily practice meditation practice
4. Structure of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Insomnia
5. Outcome data
6. Adaptations for individual patients and groups
