The 2 Processes that Regulate Sleep and the 4 Rules to Improve Your Sleep

This video explains how 2 primary processes that control sleep, the sleep drive (process S) and the circadian clock (process C), work together to determine the quality of our sleep. It also discusses the 4 Rules of Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI) and how sleep behaviors and practices can help or harm our sleep. BBTI is a research-supported intervention designed to improve sleep. BBTI is based on changing sleep behaviors and practices to reduce insomnia symptoms and improve sleep. Veterans with insomnia symptoms should work with their VA provider to put these practices into action. A few brief sessions of BBTI may be enough to significantly improve sleep. Talk with your VA provider for more information about treating insomnia.
