Book Description
Treatment of Late Life Insomnia is an extremely valuable, authoritative and comprehensive resource not only for practitioners of sleep medicine but also for any health-care practitioner who finds themselves working with the elderly population. —Michael V. Vitiello, Ph.D. Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington & Editor in Chief (for the Americas) of Sleep Medicine Reviews Insomnia occurs among older adults (65+ years) at a rate 50% to 100% higher than in younger age groups, and the consequences of insomnia in the elderly are much more severe than in younger age groups. Elders who exhibit a chronic pattern of insomnia dwell on their anticipation of a poor night′s sleep. In many cases, this worry takes on an obsessive quality that degrades multiple aspects of the individual′s life. In the past decade there has been a great deal of clinical research directed toward the development of effective interventions for insomnia among older adults. Methods of insomnia assessment have been developed and key diagnostic issues have crystallized. Yet until now, no book has gathered together this flourishing body of literature. Treatment of Late-Life Insomnia provides a comprehensive research/clinical accounting of insomnia treatment in older adults. The first section of the book, Overview, describes typical normal and disturbed sleep patterns in older adults, demographics, and methods of evaluation and differential diagnosis. The core of the book, the middle section, entitled Intervention Strategies, reviews the clinical outcome research of the major treatments for late-life insomnia and teaches the clinical procedures in the style of a clinical handbook. The final section, Special Treatment Topics, explores cutting-edge research and methods of clinical management for pressing topics in late-life insomnia that have only recently attracted systematic investigation. This book is geared toward students, scientists, and health practitioners engaged in the areas of geriatrics, sleep disorders, and behavioral medicine. These disciplines cut across a wide variety of professional groups that would find such a book useful, including psychology, psychiatry, counseling, internal medicine, geriatric medicine, nursing, and social work.

Insomnia Solved
Author: Brandon Peters
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781980252757
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Based on the latest advances in sleep research and Dr. Peters' extensive clinical experience in treating sleep disorders, this self-guided program can help to resolve chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) is often structured as a 6-week treatment program that can help people who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or find that sleep is unrefreshing. CBTI is scientifically proven, highly effective, and does not rely on medications. CBTI has life-long benefits and most participants report improved sleep satisfaction. Insomnia Solved is based on the core features of this treatment:-Education on normal sleep and the factors that affect sleep quality and quantity-Identifying triggers of insomnia as well as ways that these can be defused-Review of the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive and how these impact sleep-Overview of sleeping pills and how tolerance reduces their effectiveness-Developing healthy and effective sleep behaviors-Learning skills to calm the mind and manage stress-Individualized sleep-wake schedule program-Eliminating thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that compromise sleep-Coping strategies to respond to sleep loss and preserve daytime functionIf basic sleep advice worked, you wouldn't be here. CBTI is much more than simple recommendations that improve sleep habits. Dr. Peters was trained to conduct CBTI at Stanford University, where he continues to serve as a clinical faculty affiliate. Over the past several years, he has helped hundreds of people with insomnia resolve their condition. He now leads a group CBTI workshop at Virginia Mason in Seattle. Who benefits? Anyone with insomnia -- no matter how long they have had it or what causes it. This individualized program will address the specific goals you have related to your insomnia. For some, this may mean falling asleep more easily, sleeping through the night, sleeping without the use of pills, or improving daytime fatigue. The program can also help adolescents or adults who are night owls that stay up late and sleep in.The American College of Physicians now recommends that all adult patients receive CBTI as the initial treatment for chronic insomnia.Created by Brandon Peters, M.D., Insomnia Solved is the only program of its type designed by a board-certified medical doctor. Further audio and visual resources to enhance the experience can be accessed at InsomniaSolved.com and a discount is available with purchase of the eBook.Insomnia Solved User Testimonials:"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED, BUT IT DID.""THIS IS A MIRACLE.""YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE.""I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS YEARS AGO.""YOU HAVE MADE MORE DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE THAN ANY DOCTOR I HAVE EVER SEEN.""MY FAMILY SAYS I AM A DIFFERENT PERSON.""IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY.
