I have extreme difficulty falling asleep and now add a newborn to the equation. Having to wake up multiple times in the night, equals numerous times of having trouble falling asleep. I’m not sure how to deal with all of this any tips?

Congratulations on your new addition to the family! It’s probably comes as no surprise that having a baby can be a trigger for sleep disruption but sleep usually restores to normal once the baby settles into a regular nighttime sleep routine. Are you going to bed when your newborn does or only when you’re sleepy and what do you find yourself doing during these nighttime awakenings?

Even though we can’t prevent your baby from waking in the middle of the night, it’s still possible for you to practice CBT-I techniques.
