- Define cognitive reshuffling
- Explore its origins in other 'distracting' techniques including the original--counting sheep
- Discuss the role these techniques play in insomnia
- Dissect the ways in which we discuss these therapies, including how we view them through the lens of research
- What do these therapies teach us about insomnia and lasting solutions
