- "Changing Sleep Behaviours": How you can improve your sleep by doing 'sleep things' differently
Session II
- "Changing Your Thinking About Sleep": Increasing awareness of how unhelpful thoughts impact negatively on sleep
- "Your Sleep Now": By now you will have your own individual programme of what suits you in relation to managing sleep and lifestyle factors. It is now time to consolidate the information and techniques.
Session III individual consultation
Session IV individual consultation
Resources
- 'Sleep / Wake Diary': to assess your sleep patterns throughout the programme.
- Questionnaires: to monitor sleep quality, fatigue, mood, medications and perceptions.
