| additional remarks | Insomnia is defined by the presence of disturbed sleep and associated distress or impairment of function. This workshop is designed to treat the full range of nocturnal and daytime insomnia symptoms by integrating empirically supported behavioral treatments of insomnia (stimulus control, sleep restriction, sleep hygiene) that target sleep disturbance with mindfulness-based techniques that target the emotional distress that is characteristic of the waking symptoms. The overall goal of the workshop program is to reduce unwanted wakefulness at night and manage negative emotional reactions to disturbed sleep using the mindfulness principles of acceptance and letting go. In the spirit of cultivating mindfulness, this program will help guide your personal inquiry into your own sleep needs and the optimal state of mind for initiation of sleep. In doing so, you will bring attention to changing your relationship to sleep rather than to the amount of sleep you get each night. As you begin to change this relationship, you might notice an improvement in the quality of your sleep. Later, you will likely see an increase in the amount of sleep you get. This approach requires discipline and consistency but follows the principles of mindfulness discussed in this program. |
