Frequently Asked Questions: The Recovery Protocol

1Does an insomnia diagnosis require complex testing?
The gold standard for diagnosing insomnia is Clinical History and Sleep Diary Analysis. In most cases, laboratory tests (such as polysomnography) are not necessary unless there is a suspicion of coexisting organic pathologies (e.g., sleep apnea). Our approach focuses on a behavioral and biological audit of your system.
2What is the success rate of the CBT-I protocol?
We operate with a 90% success rate, which translates to either full remission of insomnia or significant improvements in sleep efficiency metrics. Data shows that success is directly linked to the patient's adherence to the designed technical protocol.
3Does the treatment last only 5 to 8 weeks, even if I have suffered for years?
Yes. CBT-I is a structured, short-term intervention. The protocol is engineered to intensively reconfigure sleep mechanisms. While the direct intervention with the specialist is brief, the skills acquired ensure a sustainable, lifelong change. Clinical Note: "We are not treating your past; we are retraining your biological system today. Biology doesn't need years to be recalibrated—it needs consistency."
4I am currently taking sleep medication. How does the protocol handle this?
The ultimate goal is your biological autonomy. Through weekly monitoring of sleep efficiency, we design a gradual and safe tapering plan. When necessary, we collaborate directly with your primary physician to ensure the transition from chemical solutions to natural sleep is stable and secure.
5Are there any side effects to the treatment?
Unlike pharmacological solutions, the only "effects" are a temporary increase in fatigue during the middle weeks of the protocol (due to sleep window titration). This is a positive clinical sign that your homeostatic pressure—your "appetite for sleep"—is being successfully rebuilt.
6Does this process involve neurologists or other specialists?
Psychophysiological insomnia is a specialized field of Sleep Psychology. However, if our initial audit identifies indicators of other pathologies, we will refer you to our network of specialized partners in Neurology, Pulmonology, or Psychiatry.
