Insomnia

Temporal relations among sleep, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms during intensive cognitive–behavioral treatment.

“…Future studies examining sleep disturbances associated with sleep timing and duration as transdiagnostic factors underlying psychopathology are needed to further our understanding of the important roles that sleep and psychopathology play in treatment settings. Evidence-based interventions focused on sleep behaviors (e.g., cognitive–behavioral therapy for insomnia; Perlis & Lichstein, 2003; Morin & Espie, 2003) may be indicated more broadly (not just for those reporting insomnia) in intensive treatment settings. This could also suggest that more support for sleep, particularly sleep timing, may be indicated in less structured treatment settings.…”

Cognitive factors and processes in models of insomnia: A systematic review

“…Accordingly, the process variables thought to be relevant to insomnia include those specified in the generic ACT model (Hayes et al, 2012 ): (1) acceptance, (2) cognitive defusion, (3) contact with the present, (4) self‐as‐observer, (5) values, and (6) committed action. These processes are non‐specific to insomnia, but their cultivation via MBTs is thought to help develop psychological flexibility, with possible beneficial effects on sleep‐interfering, sleep interpreting and meta‐cognitive processes (as outlined in Harvey, 2002 , 2005 ; Lundh & Broman, 2000 ; Morin & Espie, 2003 ; Ong et al, 2012 ; Perlis et al, 1997 ), facilitating natural sleep‐related dearousal, as described in Espie ( 2002 ).…”
