CBT‑I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) is a structured, short-term, evidence-based treatment designed specifically for chronic insomnia. CBT‑I targets the thoughts, behaviours, and habits that fuel insomnia. It’s the first-line treatment recommended by sleep experts, and it works even better than sleeping pills in the long run.

For nearly a decade, Regan Duff lived with a sleep struggle that few people around her fully understood. “It started during undergrad,” she shared, “and for 10 years, I dealt with nights where I wouldn’t fall asleep until 4 or 5 in the morning. Several times a week, I’d be lying there, wide awake, knowing I had to function the next day—and I couldn’t.” As the years wore on, the impact deepened.

Over the years, she tried it all: melatonin, THC, CBD, sleep rituals, even resignation. “I just thought maybe this is how it’s going to be for the rest of my life.” But that changed when a friend, who happened to be enrolled in best-selling-author Martha Beck’s coaching program, mentioned a sleep course Martha had recommended.

She consulted naturopaths, experimented with supplements, leaned on sleep aids prescribed by her doctor. “I spent all kinds of

For Jan Cain, sleep had been a lifelong struggle. “I’ve had insomnia since I was a child,” she shared. “Sometimes I’d fall asleep right away and wake up for hours in the middle of the night. Other times, I just couldn’t fall asleep at all.” She tried melatonin, supplements with complex ingredient lists, even prescription medications—but nothing worked consistently. For Jan Cain, sleep had been a lifelong struggle.

When Libby Clark first heard about Sleep Works and CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), it felt like the universe was nudging her in the right direction. “I was the classic all-over-the-place sleeper. I couldn’t fall asleep, couldn’t stay asleep, just had every problem. I started taking sleep aids at 19 and chased that for years and years; Unisom, Ambien, Lunesta, CBD gummies; you name it.” “I was the classic all-over-the-place sleeper. I couldn’t fall or stay a

People often ask us, “You’re a sleep therapist… so you must fall asleep the second your head hits the pillow, right?”

Sleep is not a luxury, an indulgence, or something you need to “earn”—it’s a fundamental human need. And in times of chaos, it’s not just im
