You are a night-owl whose sleep runs late, or you are supporting a teen or college student with a drifting schedule.

Sleep problems are not one-size-fits-all
In Northeast Tennessee, sleep challenges often collide with real-world constraints: early classes, long drives, and busy family schedules. CBT-I gives you a structured way to stabilize sleep, reduce bedtime anxiety, and shift timing when your body clock is running late.
CBT-I and circadian support can help when you are dealing with:
Sleep maintenance insomnia: waking during the night and struggling to get back to sleep.
Delayed sleep phase: your sleep timing runs late and mornings feel impossible.
Fatigue and brain fog that make it hard to focus at school or work.
Bedtime anxiety, dread, or overthinking that spikes as soon as you try to sleep.
A schedule that shifts between weekdays and weekends, pulling your sleep off track.
Sleep that feels unpredictable, even when you are trying hard.
If this has been dragging on, you are not lazy and you are not failing at sleep. With the right plan, sleep can become more predictable.
How CBT-I helps, especially for night-owls
CBT-I uses behavioral sleep strategies and evidence-based skills for the thoughts and habits that keep insomnia going. When your sleep runs late, we add circadian rhythm support so your timing can shift in a practical way without shame.
