Umgang mit chronischer Insomnie (Schlaflosigkeit)
What the DE page carries
Chronische Insomnie: regular trouble falling or staying asleep, or early waking without return to sleep — ≥3 nights/week, ≥3 months, with daytime effects (Erschöpfung, low mood, concentration, irritability). Distinguished from occasional bad nights and short-term stressor-bound insomnia.
Why it sticks: conditioned arousal — enough anxious nights and the bed itself cues wakefulness. Coping that backfires (napping, extra time in bed) locks the pattern.
KVT-I (Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie für Insomnie) is first-line per major medical societies — recommended ahead of sleep medication. Techniques: Stimuluskontrolle, Schlafrestriktion, cognitive work on sleep-related worry, fixed wake time every day. Schlafmittel short-term only (~4–5 weeks max) due to dependence/fog/rebound; they don’t retrain the association.
