When people first hear about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), they often have one of two reactions. Some think: “That sounds like exactly what I need.” Others immediately think: “That probably won’t work for me because…” Because of menopause. Because of chronic pain. Because of ADHD. Because of shift work. Because life is stressful right now. At Sleep Works we hear these concerns all the time; and they make complete sense.

For years, sleep wasn’t a problem for Jovana Miljanovic. But when a broken alarm system in her apartment began going off randomly in the night, it triggered old memories of war and trauma from her childhood. Suddenly, sleep became unpredictable, terrifying, and elusive.

There is a solution. It’s science-backed, drug-free, and has been proven more effective than sleeping pills. It’s called CBT-I, and it might just be your insomnia’s worst nightmare (in the best way).
