Episode 597: Insomnia – hours of sleep is not the goal!
In episode 597, James and Mike invite David Gardner to talk in depth about the issue of insomnia. We talk about triggers, precipitating factors, acute and chronic insomnia, and chronic use of sleeping pills. We discuss Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and how his team has developed a comprehensive website, Sleepwell, that provides patients and clinicians with great tools and recommendations for the self-care of chronic insomnia. Mike stays awake for the whole podcast and James only has a brief nap.
