Why is the topic of relaxation so important?

A relaxed body and mind allow us to sink into restful sleep. That's why relaxation is one of the six pillars of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Relaxation is a crucial component in helping people with insomnia manage their symptoms and improve their sleep quality. Relaxation techniques can help reduce the physical and psychological tension that can keep you awake at night, and which make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. Because of this, CBT-I has a focus on learning relaxation and carving out time in the day for its practice.
