Sleep management benefits
→ Better management of insomnia and sleep problems has a range of benefits for patients but also clinicians.
→ Better management of insomnia improves patients’ quantity and quality of sleep but also leads to improved daytime functioning and better quality of life.
→ Patients with insomnia related to comorbid medical, psychiatric or other problems also benefit from better sleep management.
→ Better assessment and non-pharmacological management of sleep problems empowers patients and improves patient satisfaction with treatment.
→ Clinicians who have introduced these techniques into their clinical practice feel more knowledgeable and skilled and are more confident in their treatment of insomnia.
