When does poor sleep become insomnia?

We all experience the occasional bad night’s sleep. But when does poor sleep become insomnia? For some people, difficulty falling asleep, waking frequently during the night or waking too early can become an ongoing problem that starts to affect everyday life. In this video, I explain when poor sleep becomes insomnia and why understanding the difference is important. The good news is that chronic insomnia is treatable. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment and can help people achieve lasting improvements in their sleep without relying on sleeping medication. If you’ve been struggling with your sleep, I offer a structured six-session CBT-I programme, available virtually or through my private clinic in Clapham.
