Sleep Downunder 2025
Access these Sleep Downunder Conference recordings for crucial insights directly applicable to busy Australian general practice. View presentations detailing a **new model of care** where nurse-delivered brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) was found feasible and acceptable in primary care, positively affecting both sleep and depression symptoms in men. GPs shared that patients referred to the program used to be seen frequently but saw them "quite a lot" less afterward due to the positive impact.
Additionally, explore the effectiveness of **digital CBTI (Bedtime Window)**, successfully implemented across Australian general practice. Trial data demonstrates digital CBTI improves insomnia regardless of baseline sleeping pill use and shows evidence of **deprescribing hypnotics**. Gain practical knowledge on improving screening, overcoming barriers to CBTI access, and utilizing tools like **Sleep Spotlight** within your workflow. These models offer essential support for managing chronic insomnia and comorbidities in your diverse patient population.
