What to expect from online treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) addresses sleep timing and habits without adding medication. It treats persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or returning to sleep, occurring at least three nights a week for three months or longer.
The first appointment takes about 50 minutes and covers your sleep history and previous treatment. You then keep a daily sleep diary, which takes about two minutes each morning. Your clinician uses it to set a bedtime and wake time and adjust your time in bed as sleep improves.
A typical course lasts six to eight weeks. Many patients notice early changes within a few weeks. Our step-by-step treatment guide explains the process.
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing pauses for short periods during sleep. It often involves loud snoring. Apnea and insomnia often occur together. We treat insomnia and coordinate referrals to partners who treat sleep apnea.
Statewide Illinois sleep-care questions
Do you see patients throughout Illinois?
Yes. Video appointments are available in Rockford, the Quad Cities, Springfield, Champaign, Metro East, Carbondale and every Illinois county. Where you live does not change the treatment or the clinicians you can see. It only matters if you want an in-person appointment in Chicago.
Do I have to be physically in Illinois during a video visit?
Yes. You need to be in Illinois for the entire video appointment, even if your home address is in the state. You may join from a private room at home, work or school. Let your clinician know in advance if you expect to be outside Illinois.
How do I choose between a sleep specialist and a therapist?
For insomnia, one clinician can often fill both roles. Our Illinois clinicians are trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. It helps you adjust your sleep schedule and habits, and respond differently to unhelpful thoughts. If sleep apnea may be involved, your clinician coordinates care with a partner who treats it.
