CBT is definitely worth trying, but the psychologist I worked with was honest about the fact that it doesn't work for everyone suffering from depression and/anxiety. I've tried it twice and learned some valuable tools for coping with insomnia, but it didn't solve my sleep issues. I have recently returned to meditating daily and hope it will eventually prove helpful with sleep. My general anxiety is definitely less with meditation.

Believe it or not I am old enough to have been using the cognitive strategy way before it was called CBT (Rational Emotive Therapy created by Albert Ellis in the 50's). It worked for well for me in the 80's (not 50's), but I wasn't consistent. It would not be helpful for me now, I believe, because my Narcolepsy is in full control of my emotions. I'm an over-sleeper, and don't hve insomnia. Otherwise I stongly recommend it for logical thinkers.
