Sleep disturbances are a common experience after bereavement, yet have received little attention in care for bereaved people. Current scientific research suggests that sleep is important in emotional processing of negative life-events. Insomnia severity is associated with worsening of emotional problems, such as depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Treating sleep problems appears highly effective in treating such emotional problems and may be similarly relevant in care for severe and persistent grief. We will explore this possibility in the current webinar.
Explore the link between grief and sleep problems, learn about insomnia’s impact on emotional well-being, and discover evidence-based treatment options like CBT-I.
