The General Council of Psychology of Spain, through INFOCOP, has highlighted a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology with Children and Adolescents, revealing that psychological treatment, especially cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is highly effective in addressing sleep problems in children. The systematic review, conducted by Katina Kovacheva and María de la Fe Rodríguez-Muñoz, emphasizes that sleep disorders in childhood are common and can have negative impacts on physical, emotional, and cognitive development. The most effective techniques include stimulus control, relaxation, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene, with CBT as the gold standard treatment. The study underscores the importance of adapting interventions to the child’s age and the need for future research with larger samples and transparent protocols.
