Could this ‘brutal and restrictive’ therapy cure my intense insomnia?

CBT-I is called the ‘gold standard’ for sleep disorder treatment. After 40 years of issues, could it help me sleep right?

I’ve had intense issues with insomnia and respiratory problems for 40 years – and yet, I only learned about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) this year.

Fellow insomniacs told me about it when I was reporting a story on the link I discovered between orthodontics and sleep health during my exhaustive search for sleep solutions. Two rounds of nasal surgery in the past year revolutionized my air flow – but didn’t improve the anxious mind that still kept me awake.
