Abstract：

Chronic insomnia is common problem that affects 10% of the general population and up to 20% of patients in primary care settings. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), the gold-standard treatment for insomnia, is a multicomponent treatment that is fast (4-8 sessions), effective (70-80% who complete tx have few or no sxs post tx), and sustained (benefits persist 24 months post tx). Combined with the scarcity of well-trained providers (fewer than 350 board certified in behavioral sleep medicine worldwide), CBT-i is uniquely positioned to be disseminated via telemedicine. This session will review the implementation of CBT-i via telemedicine in the treatment of insomnia.
