Abstract
Sleep disorders increase in prevalence and intensity with aging and often become chronic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of Insomnia (CBT-I) and the 3P model of insomnia allows to differentiate between predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factors influencing insomnia and to attenuate their effects. This treatment usually is the better alternative to long-term prescription of hypnotic medication. Its principles are outlined here.
