Interventions

BEHAVIORALSleep School

Sleep school is a structured method for the treatment of insomnia, which is based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). The central element of the method is a workbook for the patients. The essential parts of the method are strengthening the patient's self-efficacy, introducing the therapeutic exercises, and supporting the continued use of the exercises. The main themes of the Sleep school are information about sleep and the factors affecting it, behavioural components of CBT-I, like restricting the time spent in bed, cognitive components of CBT-I, like constructive worrying -exercise, and the exercises that aim to calm down mind and the autonomic nervous system. The Sleep School is held by an educated nurse.
