She focuses on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to retrain womenâs bodies and minds to sleep more efficiently. She explains the basics of sleep and insomnia; the impact of hormones on sleep; other sleep and mood disorders that mimic insomnia, such as sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, narcolepsy, and depression and anxiety; changing behaviors to improve sleep, including tracking sleep, dealing with sleep stealers like alcohol and caffeine, strategies for sleep hygiene, making the bed only for sleep and sex, and using sleep restriction; changing thoughts that affect sleep, including dealing with worrying and using mindfulness; and complementary strategies to cognitive behavioral therapy, such as herbs and supplements, and what to do when life gets in the way of sleep.
