Flexibility around the clock: How to promote a less rigid and values-based approach toward sleep

ACT for insomnia has demonstrated efficacy as a promising intervention. This webinar outlines key knowledge and skills needed to engage people in effective ACT for sleep problems, either as a primary focus or as part of a wider intervention. We will demonstrate how ACT exercises and metaphors can target processes associated with hyperarousal and sleep disturbance (inflexibility, cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance) in adults, and how shifting from rigidity and over-control to values-based living can support sleep drive and circadian rhythms. Case examples from our lab will be presented.

 

Cost: Members free; Non-members AU$45. Registration is required.
Date: Wednesday 27 August, 2025
Time: 12-1pm – Queensland, NSW, ACT, Tasmania and Victoria
          2pm – New Zealand
          11.30am - SA and NT
          9am – WA
