Upcoming Broadcasts

If you’d like Insomnia Live! to cover another topic in the future, please offer your suggestion in the comments below.

This brief video chat explains upcoming CBT-I Live shows, what we mean by a ‘digital bridge’ and how we can build it together.

Who will chat?

Meredith Cary and Brian Doyle MD (the hosts) along with other guest hosts, will chat with clinicians, researchers, educators, and students from multiple disciplines … from among civilians & the military, non-profits & for-profits, and from professional sleep societies and associations.

Will you help share?

The American College of Physicians recommends that 100% of adults with chronic insomnia should initially be referred to CBT-I. But, if CBT-I providers aren’t visible and don’t share what we know about it or where to find it, physicians don’t know to whom or where to refer patients.

Perhaps, if we ALL share together in one common place, we might increase consumer demand for CBT-I and reduce the over-prescribing of addictive drugs.  This non-profit, curated and crowdsourced CBT-I Live ‘show’ can become one common ‘digital bridge‘ to which physicians can refer their patients. And, the Hub Directory can become one common (free) repository of all CBT-I providers’ profiles.

We hope ...
