HOW IT WORKS
How CBT-I shifts a body clock that runs too late
If you can’t fall asleep until 2 or 3 a.m. no matter how early you try, the problem usually isn’t willpower — your internal body clock is set late. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, and for a delayed clock it adds circadian strategies that gently shift your timing earlier.
With your clinician you use light timing, a gradual schedule shift, and stimulus control to move sleep onset earlier without forcing it overnight. We build the plan around school or work hours you can’t skip, and ease the dread that mornings have come to carry. At ScienceWorks we combine CBT-I with circadian and ACT strategies, tailored to how your clock really runs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions
Is this available online or only in person?
ScienceWorks provides CBT-I by secure telehealth to adults and teens across Tennessee, and in person at our Nashville office if you prefer. Online fits a late-running schedule — you meet from home with no early-morning commute; in-person in Nashville is available on request.
Can CBT-I actually shift a night-owl body clock earlier?
Often, yes. A delayed body clock can shift earlier with the right timing of light, schedule, and wind-down. We move gradually so the change holds, rather than forcing one hard reset that snaps back the next weekend.
How long does it take, and is medication required?
Most people see their timing move over a few weeks of consistent practice. CBT-I and circadian work need no sleep medication, and we review fees and any out-of-network reimbursement before you commit to ongoing sessions.
