A referral that treats the sleep problem.

Oregon Sleep Center provides CBT-I to adults with chronic insomnia. Appointments are by video, anywhere in Oregon, and we check benefits before the first one.

Refer a patient

No referral form needed

There is no form. Send these five things the way you send any other referral.

What to include

  1. Patient’s full name
  2. Date of birth
  3. Patient’s contact information
  4. Referring clinician’s name
  5. Referring clinician’s contact information for receiving progress updates

Relevant clinical history is welcome, but not required.

Our team contacts your patient to arrange an assessment.

Why refer to us?

What your patient gets from CBT-I

  • Works on sleep, specifically

    Time in bed, the habits around it, and the thinking that keeps a patient awake. That is the whole course.

  • Something to use after treatment ends

    Patients leave with the skills, and with a plan for the next bad stretch of nights.

  • Oregon licensed, CBT-I trained

    Whoever treats your patient is licensed here and has completed training in CBT-I.

  • Coverage checked first

    We verify benefits before the first appointment, then explain what the plan pays and what the patient pays.

  • Updates while treatment runs

    With your patient's consent, you get Insomnia Severity Index scores and treatment milestones.

Patients to consider for CBT-I

Worth an assessment when an adult has:

  • Trouble getting to sleep, or long waking periods, three nights a week or more for three months or longer.
  • Insomnia that persists while depression or anxiety is already being treated.
  • No improvement from general sleep advice, or a patient who would rather not add another sleep medication.

Adding CBT-I to a current therapy plan

Nobody has to change therapists. CBT-I is a short course that runs beside the work your patient is already doing.

The clinician reads the daily sleep diary, sets a sleep window from it, and moves that window week by week.

Suspect sleep apnea too?

The two often sit together, and each is treated on its own. We handle the insomnia and refer out for apnea assessment when the picture calls for it.

Score your own sleep

Answer all seven questions about the past two weeks. The Insomnia Severity Index adds your answers into a score between 0 and 28. This calculator does not submit a referral or add results to a medical record at Oregon Sleep Center.

For the first three questions, please rate the current (last 2 weeks) severity of your insomnia problem(s):

1. Difficulty falling asleep
2. Difficulty staying asleep
3. Problem waking up too early
4. How satisfied/dissatisfied are you with your current sleep pattern?
5. How noticeable to others do you think your sleep problem is in terms of impairing the quality of your life?
6. How worried/distressed are you about your current sleep problem?
7. To what extent do you consider your sleep problem to interfere with your daily functioning (e.g., daytime fatigue, mood, ability to function at work or with daily chores, concentration, memory) currently?

A score is not a diagnosis. Discuss the result and your sleep history with a licensed clinician. A referral to Oregon Sleep Center does not require a particular score.

We contact your patient

We contact the patient and set up the assessment.

Treatment begins

The first appointment is 50 minutes on sleep history, previous treatment and medication. Then weekly visits, with a daily sleep diary in between. Most courses run six to eight weeks, and the sleep schedule changes as the diary does.

We keep you informed

With your patient's consent, you get Insomnia Severity Index scores and treatment milestones.

Appointments are by video with clinicians licensed in Oregon. We do not see patients in person. The patient needs to be in Oregon for the whole appointment.
