? Insomnia is a public health problem, affecting 33% of the general population and around 10% meet the criteria to be considered a sleep disorder; however, barely 8% of those affected receive adequate care.
It is characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, with significant distress and alterations in the functioning of daytime activity.
It is the most common sleep disorder and although it can be associated with multiple causes (physical and psychiatric illnesses, environmental factors, bad habits, etc.), 95% of cases are related to stress, anxiety and habits incompatible with sleep and this is because sleep is a very sensitive phenomenon to what we do, what happens to us, what we think and what we feel.
Cognitive behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBTI) is currently considered the reference treatment. It is as effective as medications and has longer-lasting effects than these. Below I explain some of the techniques we use in the treatment:
1. Thought Blockage:
2.Breathing techniques for sleeping

4. Goal Setting Technique to create new habits.
5. Presentation of Mindfulness
