  CBT-I is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. A 6 to 8 session course: diary, sleep restriction, stimulus control, working on the thinking.

• Supervised tapering and stopping sleeping pills

  Stopping sleeping pills abruptly causes rebound insomnia and carries real risks. A scheduled taper, the behavioural foundation built first, weekly follow-up.

• Assessment for depression and anxiety disorders

  Assessment of depression, anxiety and their two-way link with insomnia. Validated scales, safety assessment, a treatment plan and follow-up.

• Video consultations for insomnia

  Insomnia is a condition that works well by video, because the diagnosis rests on history taking and a sleep diary. How to book, how to prepare, and the limits of this format.

• Follow-up after treatment

  Behavioural therapy is measured in weeks, not days. The follow-up schedule, how to read a sleep diary, and a plan for the next bout of insomnia.
