Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended, first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, as it is proven to be highly effective in improving sleep quality. It is a multifaceted approach, which includes time-in-bed restriction (i.e., reducing time spent in bed to enhance sleep consolidation), stimulus control (i.e., restricting behaviours incompatible with sleep in the bedroom), and cognitive restructuring (i.e., addressing and altering maladaptive thoughts and beliefs regarding sleep) to reinstate a regular sleep pattern.
