Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program (CBT):
CBT approach is one of the major orientations of therapy and represents a unique category of psychological intervention. It derives from cognitive and behavioral psychological models of human behavior.
CBT approach is being increasingly adapted for many of the ailments ranging from sleep related disorders to heart and diabetic conditions. This approach helps in keeping the overall cost of treatment low and reduces the work load on the health care infrastructure.
Self Test Questionnaire- Individual Profile and Disease:
The Self test is a dynamic component. In the self test different questionnaires are generated.
Depending on the factor/trait of the health care provider i.e. if it is heart diseases centric or sleeping disorder centric etc., a patient will be asked few questions with selectable options. The questions will be very generic and most of the sites offer this feature after registration or login. The online system gives quick responses to the user sitting on the questionnaire. This response can be instant response or it can be sent to the user’s email address later.
This questionnaire basically reflects the health care provider area i.e. which section the site specializes on. Users will be shown few significant questions focusing the particular disease/disorder. They will be presented with suitable responses including the solutions if required. Thus proves a much easier system of clearing doubts.
As an example for Sleep study questionnaire are based on the sleeping behavior, feelings, sleep hygiene and uses of sleeping aids. Users get answers on these questions according to selection of question. Health care providers give best solutions to their members and post their responses. Thus proves a much easier system of clearing doubts.

Throughout the eight sessions of the treatment the therapist can monitor the changes in our sleep pattern with the help of the information from our 7 days sleep diary. The sessions take place online, with a certified sleep behavioral therapist.
