Behavioral Sleep Medicine

Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) is a field that focuses on understanding and treating sleep problems through behavioral and psychological approaches. It addresses issues like insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome by helping individuals change their habits, thoughts, and behaviors related to sleep. BSM techniques may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation strategies, and sleep hygiene education. The goal is to improve sleep quality and overall health while empowering individuals to take control of their sleep challenges without relying solely on medication.
