CBT is a First-Line Treatment for Insomnia
“CBT and benzodiazepine receptor agonists have been shown to be beneficial in the acute management of chronic insomnia” (NIH Consensus
and State of the Science Statement, 2005)1
“CBT-based treatment packages for chronic insomnia including sleep restriction and stimulus control are effective and therefore should be offered to patients as a first-line treatment” (British Association for Psychopharmacology Consensus Statement, 2010)2

Summary and Conclusions
• CBT is a first-line treatment for chronic insomnia with a strong evidence base
• Emerging research findings will present opportunities and challenges to the clinical practice of CBT for insomnia
• Future research needed on utility of insomnia risk stratification, predictors of treatment response, efficacy of CBT for insomnia phenotypes, and benefits of increased CBT personalization
