Some of the common techniques in pediatric CBT-I include:
Stimulus Control: Associating the bed with sleep only, by limiting activities like reading or playing in bed. Sleep Restriction: Limiting the time spent in bed to consolidate sleep and reduce wakefulness. Relaxation Techniques: Teaching children methods like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation to ease anxiety and prepare for sleep. Parental Guidance: Instructing parents on how to create a conducive sleep environment and maintain a consistent bedtime routine.
