Understanding insomnia
Insomnia is more than a bad night — it's persistent trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, with daytime fallout: fatigue, foggy thinking, irritability. Short bouts usually pass; when it happens three or more nights a week for months, it's a treatable condition in its own right, not just a symptom.
Common signs
- Taking 30 or more minutes to fall asleep, regularly
- Waking in the night and struggling to fall back asleep
- Waking too early and being unable to get back to sleep
- Daytime fatigue, poor concentration, or mood dips
- Dreading bedtime or clock-watching at night
- Loud snoring or gasping (worth a sleep study — that's a different condition)
Who treats insomnia
For chronic insomnia, look for a therapist trained in CBT-I — it's the recommended first-line treatment, more durable than medication. If insomnia rides along with anxiety, depression, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can treat both together. Loud snoring, gasping, or leg restlessness point to a sleep physician instead — those are different conditions needing a sleep study.
What to expect
The first-line treatment for chronic insomnia is CBT-I — cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia — which outperforms sleeping pills over the long run. It retrains sleep through consistent scheduling, stimulus control (bed is for sleep only), and tackling the anxious thoughts about sleep itself. It's short-term, structured, and works in person or by video.
When to seek help
If poor sleep hits three or more nights a week for three months, or daytime functioning is suffering, get evaluated. See a sleep physician promptly if you snore loudly, gasp, or stop breathing at night — that suggests sleep apnea, which needs different treatment.
Seeing a therapist about insomnia
A therapist approaches insomnia through regular talk-therapy sessions — building skills, testing new patterns between visits, and tracking progress over weeks. If medication might also help, your therapist can coordinate with a prescriber while the therapy work continues.

Common questions
Is CBT-I really better than sleeping pills?
Long-term, yes. Pills help short-term but lose effectiveness and carry dependence risk; CBT-I's benefits persist after treatment ends. Sleep medicine guidelines recommend CBT-I first for chronic insomnia.
What actually happens in CBT-I?
Usually 4 to 8 sessions: you track your sleep, then reshape it — consistent wake times, getting out of bed when wide awake, and challenging the thoughts that keep you wired. No gadgets required, and it works over video too.
Do I need a sleep study?
Not for plain insomnia — that's diagnosed by history. You need one if there are red flags for sleep apnea or other disorders: loud snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, gasping awake, or severe daytime sleepiness despite enough time in bed.
Isn't good sleep hygiene enough?
Hygiene helps mild cases but rarely fixes chronic insomnia alone. If you've done the basics and still can't sleep, you need CBT-I, not another round of tips.
Can a West Valley City therapist treat my insomnia over video?
Yes — CBT-I translates excellently to telehealth since it's conversation and sleep-diary based. Many West Valley City providers offer it virtually to anyone in Texas.
