If you’ve ever found yourself wide awake in the middle of the night, wondering why sleep doesn’t come easily like it used to, you’re not alone. For many people, insomnia builds gradually, often without you even realizing it, until it becomes a cycle that feels impossible to escape. 

If you’ve been struggling with chronic insomnia, you’ve probably tried  everything and anything to fall asleep faster and stay asleep. From melatonin and blackout curtains to sleep hygiene tips and even medications, the list adds up quickly. But if you’re still lying awake at night or waking up exhausted in the morning, it might be time to try a different approach. That’s where Sleep Restriction Therapy (or SRT) can be useful.

We’ve all heard it: eight hours of sleep is the golden standard. However, this one-size-fits-all approach does not take into account the individual differences in our needs, lifestyles, and health. For those with insomnia, aiming for this arbitrary eight-hour target can actually increase stress, making a good night's sleep seem even more out of reach. Does this sound familiar? Let's explore why it's time to shift our focus from quantity to quality when it comes to sleep.

Finding yourself wide awake, staring at the ceiling while your mind races through a never-ending list of worries and what-ifs is a scenario far too familiar for many. It’s those nights when that one worrying thought pops up just as you're trying to fall asleep and quickly spirals into a storm of racing thoughts, keeping sleep at bay. If this sounds like your nightly battle, then you're in the right place.
