Sleep disorders are dramatically widespread: 4.8 million Germans suffer from chronic sleep disorders. A third of employees regularly feel exhausted and complain about reduced performance. However, if those affected find their way into psychotherapy, some simple measures can significantly improve the quality of their sleep.

The tools book provides therapists with working materials for comprehensive diagnostics. The important components in therapy are the psychoeducation of those affected, classic behavioural therapy and cognitive procedures. The concept is expanded to include emotion-based approaches and relaxation procedures. One chapter is also devoted to medication – as well as the question of what does not help.
