Cognitive Regulation perspective
CR-based sleep work combines CBT-I principles with regulation training: stimulus control, sleep restriction, wind-down, and de-coupling the bed from worry.
Common signs
- Lying awake for an hour or more at sleep onset.
- Waking at 3–4 am unable to fall back asleep.
- A 'tired but wired' state by bedtime.
- Daytime fatigue, low mood, brain fog.
Why most sleep advice doesn't help
Generic sleep hygiene is necessary but rarely sufficient. The active ingredient in clinical sleep work is changing the conditioning between bed, body and arousal — that's what CR-based sleep retraining does.
