Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has emerged as the standard first-line treatment for insomnia. The number of patients receiving non-medication treatments is increasing, and there is a growing need to address a wide range of patient backgrounds, characteristics, and medical and psychiatric comorbidities. Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia identifies for clinicians how best to deliver and/or modify CBT-I based on the needs of their patients. The book recommends treatment modifications based on patient age, comorbid conditions, and for various special populations. Summarizes research on cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) Directs clinicians how to modify CBT-I for comorbid patient conditions Discusses comorbid sleep, psychiatric, and medical disorders Specifies modifications across the lifespan for different client ages and conditions Includes special populations: short sleepers�and more

**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Sports Medicine**The relationship between sleep and both mental and physical performance in athletes has become a key issue over the past several years. Sleep and Sport: Physical Performance, Mental Performance, Injury Prevention, and Competitive Advantage for Athletes, Coaches, and Trainers aims to synthesize the growing scientific evidence in this area to help researchers, clinicians, and others interested in sport to understand the fundamentals of sleep health and how these factors relate to athletes. Serving as an important bridge between the sleep and athletics field, this book educates sleep professionals about how their field of expertise relates to various aspects of athletics, while educating sports professionals about the basics of sleep and how it relates to their field of expertise. This is accomplished by explaining some of the basics of sleep health; reviewing the literature on sleep disorders, treatments, and risk factors for athletes; discussing ways that sleep health impacts physical and mental performance; and addressing key specific areas where these fields overlap. In all cases, this text will draw from the existing peer-reviewed literature, in order to provide evidence-based guidance that is objective and well explained.Highlights the importance of sleep and its relations to various aspects of athleticsProvide useful, actionable, evidence-based suggestions for promoting sleep health in athletesContains accessible reviews that point to relevant literature in often-overlooked areas, serving as a helpful guide to all relevant information on this broad topic area

This second edition updates our 2005 book. While the original continues to attract interest due to its concise yet comprehensive format, the aggregation of 21 years of research on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has substantially transformed the field. Most notably, insomnia has been reconceptualized. In 2005, insomnia was typically viewed as a symptom of other “primary” disorders, leading to two assumptions: (1) that treating the primary disorder would resolve insomnia, and (2) that behavioral treatment of insomnia in the presence of comorbidity would be ineffective. As a result, CBT-I was reserved for relatively rare cases of uncomplicated insomnia. These assumptions have now been debunked. Research demonstrates that chronic insomnia frequently persists despite successful treatment of comorbid conditions and that CBT-I is nearly as effective for comorbid insomnia as it is for uncomplicated insomnia. More, CBT-I has meaningful “halo effects,” with responders often showing significant improvements in comorbid conditions. In depression, CBT-I outcomes may rival those of antidepressant medications or CBT for depression alone. Collectively, these findings support directly targeting chronic insomnia and the recommendation that CBT-I be a first-line therapy. This position has been codified by the American College of Physicians and endorsed by numerous professional organizations worldwide. We further argue that there is great clinical value to, when possible, treating insomnia first, as a gateway therapy that facilitates broader clinical improvement. Finally, this edition integrates over two decades of additional clinical experience, enriching both the clinical guidance and patient-centered communication presented throughout the manual. About the Authors (from the text).

This book is about wearable sleep technology. Sleep assessment technologies, or “sleep trackers”, that can be used outside of the laboratory are becoming increasingly popular. They are utilized in scientific research, among behavioral sleep medicine clinicians, and by members of the general public who are interested in learning more about their sleep. There are few guidelines currently available to help users discern which device is most suitable for their needs. Bold marketing claims often suggest that devices are more accurate than they are. By understanding the history of how these devices were developed, the limitations of the current proxy measures of sleep, and the inherent bias in validation studies of the most popular devices used today, readers can learn about what to realistically expect from device performance. This book comprehensively explains how sleep trackers work, how they can be evaluated by users, and how they can be used in practice.
