| Summary: | Insomnia is a highly prevalent sleep disorder with a high burden of diseases and high
comorbidity. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is effective but is rarely
offered due to the limited access, time constraints, and financial constraints. The inability to
treat insomnia has the potential to leave a significant impact in life. Therefore, CBT-i delivered
through internet is thought to be more feasible and accessible alternative. The current paper
reviewed is based on the narrative review approach. The relevant articles were obtained
through computerized searches of databases such as PubMed, SAGE, and ERIC. The findings
of this paper highlight the effectiveness of CBT-i based on empirical evidence of previous
studies. The focal variables are on sleep hygiene and education, stimulus control therapy, sleep
restriction therapy, and relaxation techniques. Having a better understanding how online CBTi
works can provide more input for intervention management. |
