SLEEP 2026 | Stimulus control and sleep restriction therapy: reprogramming the brain to treat insomnia
Michael Grandner, PhD, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, discusses the role of conditioned arousal in chronic insomnia and explains why behavioral approaches such as stimulus control and sleep restriction therapy remain the cornerstone of treatment. He reviews key principles of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and highlights how these strategies can help patients retrain sleep-related behaviors and achieve long-term improvements. This interview took place at the 40th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) congress in Baltimore, MD.
