What's involved with becoming a psychologist or sleep therapist?

I'm thinking about going to uni to do Psych, what is involved in actually becoming a psychologist? I spend 3 years getting my Bachelors and then work? Masters? PhD? Work?

Also, if I get my bachelors for psych, would that put me onto the path to work in sleep therapy? I find it fascinating, but am not sure how to get into that line of work.

Thanks for the help!

    a psych bachelors may be relatable but honestly sleep therapy belongs in the medical category while psychology is different sect. You would need to find a graduate program about sleep study or have a minor in medicine/sleep therapy. Each state has thier own liscensing requirements for professionals so check your state.gov site to find out what they require. I linked michigan below as an example.
