Hi, my name is Lorraine Irlam. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC and the founder of Insomnia Help Canada.
If struggling to fall asleep, tossing and turning at night, or waking up too early has become your norm, you are not alone.
Like you, I felt hopeless and desperate about my inability to sleep. And after a 20-year battle with chronic insomnia, I found a way to reclaim my life.
Enter cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (or CBT-I), a practical, drug-free approach backed by decades of research that addresses the causes of your sleep problems. I also find acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) to be invaluable additions to help people improve their sleep – and their quality of life.
There’s nothing more rewarding ...

You’ve likely tried everything, advice from doctors, suggestions from family, and every "trick" the internet has to offer, yet you still wake up feeling fatigued, with your mind stuck in a loop of thinking about sleep when you’d rather be thinking about ...
