Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

This episode explores CBT-i, a Level 1 evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia, as recommended by the NHMRC. We break down the five essential components every IMG must know: Cognitive Therapy, Stimulus Control, Sleep Restriction, Sleep Hygiene, and Relaxation. Learn why CBT-i is as effective as hypnotics but offers better long-term results without the risk of tolerance. We explain how to teach patients to leave the bedroom if they have been awake for 20 minutes and recommend digital tools like CBT-I Coach.
