Sleep Program

Sleep Problems?  Insomnia is an inadequate quantity or quality of sleep that interferes with normal daytime functioning. For some people, insomnia means difficulty in falling asleep, for others it's difficulty in maintaining sleep, and for still others it's early awakening.

6 Weekly Classes

We will review the content of the classes, review what is and what causes insomnia, and the treatment of insomnia.  Everyone will complete a series of self-report questionnaires that will be reviewed by group leaders so we can learn about your particular sleep problems.
